Layout planning in VR

Enter your shopfloor from the office.

Rea­ding time 1,5 min

For lay­out plan­ning it is par­ti­cu­lar­ly important to know ear­ly on what, whe­re and how is to be loca­ted on the shop flo­or wit­hout caus­ing expen­si­ve errors. But how do you ensu­re that your plan­ning also works in rea­li­ty? With cur­rent tools it is rela­tively dif­fi­cult and cos­t­ly to ensu­re that the plan­ning also works spa­ti­al­ly. Halo­cli­ne shows why VR is the right solu­ti­on for planning.

Plan spatially from the beginning

In the office and on the shop­f­lo­or at the same time? With Halo­cli­ne this is pos­si­ble becau­se you plan from start to finish in the vir­tu­al space. As in the real world you can assess whe­ther, for exam­p­le, equip­ment is too high, distances are too small or grip­ping trays are too far away. Sub­op­ti­mal plan­ning, which you can hard­ly assess on the screen or in 2D plans will be noti­ced directly.

How does it work?

VR superpowers

In Halo­cli­ne you can use the full poten­ti­al of spa­ti­al per­cep­ti­on with VR glas­ses. Hea­vy machi­nes and tables can be moved easi­ly. In Halo­cli­ne Lay­out you crea­te your lay­out and in Halo­cli­ne Per­for­mance you test and eva­lua­te the work­flow. Thanks to pre­fa­bri­ca­ted libra­ry ele­ments, workspaces can be set up quick­ly and easi­ly in vir­tu­al space. If, for exam­p­le, the depth of the table does not fit, it is easy to adjust and chan­ge the dimen­si­ons yours­elf. A major advan­ta­ge of this method is that you don’t have to stop pro­duc­tion to eva­lua­te an idea on the shop­f­lo­or. You can imme­dia­te­ly check in the vir­tu­al space whe­ther the adjus­t­ments make sen­se and how they affect the workspace. This saves time and resour­ces and allows you to make decis­i­ons fas­ter and achie­ve bet­ter results.

Plan layouts that everyone understands

Plan­ning is team­work. Get all employees on board right from the start. Due to the spa­ti­al repre­sen­ta­ti­on, no spe­ci­fic know­ledge is requi­red to under­stand the plan­ning. Peo­p­le can try out their future work­place in Halo­cli­ne Per­for­mance and sug­gest impro­ve­ments befo­re it has even been built.

From rough to fine planning

No mat­ter if new plan­ning or con­ti­nuous impro­ve­ment pro­cess, Halo­cli­ne can be used for all pro­ject types and offers you the neces­sa­ry tools to plan your production.
Whe­ther you want to plan enti­re shop­f­lo­ors or indi­vi­du­al work­sta­tions is up to you. In Halo­cli­ne both is pos­si­ble. You have the free­dom to deci­de how much detail you want to go into and what infor­ma­ti­on is important to you.
