| dc.description.abstract | A new industry in battery manufacturing is rapidly growing. The demand for people to join these workforces is huge. For the companies to have a qualified workforce the employees have to get training before starting their new work. In this thesis a study has been conducted to find out how the training of operators is conducted today and what difficulties are existing. A theoretical study has also been conducted on how virtual reality could be used in training these operators. The aim of the study is to give suggestions on how virtual reality can be used in an effective way during the training. To help doing this challenges in the education and training as well as advantages and disadvantages were identified. A literature study was conducted as well as a interview study with people in the industry and people in some way involved or previously involved in the training. Through the literature study an overview of virtual reality was obtained while the interview study provided the necessary information about the training. From the interviews four themes was identified. These were Education/training, difficulties, needs and virtual reality. The conclusion was that virtual reality could be a good complement to the existing training and not a substitute. It could be a good option for operators to get hours into practical training. It could also provide an understanding of safety by letting them experience consequences of their actions. Apart from giving the operators more experience and knowledge it could as well be economically beneficial with less material waste. | |
