Workplace design in teaching

Like Cardboard Engineering - only faster, more compact, and digital.

Workplace design refers to the configuration of a workspace to meet people’s physical and psychological needs—a central topic in fields of study such as industrial engineering, ergonomics, and production engineering.
Using Halocline, students can simulate assembly workstations in a realistic manner and interactively analyze ergonomic, organizational, and technological aspects.

Layout planning &
factory design

From rough to detailed planning, from desktop to VR.

Layout planning is an essential component of manufacturing companies and deals with the arrangement of production areas. Students learn how to systematically plan factories and workstations.
In Halocline, the shopfloor is defined, divided into work areas, and gradually equipped with machinery and equipment - from the ideal plan to the final design.
