Optimum Maritime Solutions (OMS)-VR – Maritime Trainer

One of the common applications of VR and AR in shipbuilding is immersive training for new employees and operators. VR- and AR-based simulations allow trainees to visualize critical situations like accidents and rescue operations. This increases their confidence in tackling such a situation when they work onboard a ship.

OMS-VR is a Ukrainian startup that provides VR-based training for maritime operators and employees. The startup’s solution supports multi-user training to better simulate real-life situations such as crane and tanker operations. This allows marine companies to ensure the proficiency of employees before being deployed offshore, also improving safety and efficiency.

Morild – Training & Maintenance

The training and maintenance areas in shipbuilding allow people to learn how to operate a new vessel or act in emergencies, off-shore evacuation, high-speed navigation before building even the smallest section of the ship.

Norwegian Morild uses high-end simulation technologies for both operational and product training by creating close to reality vessel simulations and offering multiple scenarios for structured personnel training.

Wartsila – Augmented Warnings

AR glasses can help technicians preserve better maintenance of the ship due to its preventative technologies. AR glasses warn about possible or current breakdowns when the technicians inspect the vessel and even show step-by-step guidance for eliminating the problem.

Wartsila, a company from Finland, tests the effectiveness of AR wearables during the guidance procedure and evaluated that this guidance provides new opportunities in efficiency optimization, usage in docking and shipyard, improving the overall safety.

Index AR Solutions – Validation Of Design Ideas

Augmented reality allows shipbuilding engineers to put digital information in a visual environment in order to validate whether certain design ideas can be implemented at in following construction stage.

US-based Index AR Solutions offers a digital overlay of the required information to improve inspection and workflow operations by enabling the experience of offered design and adapt it in accordance with the customer’s or engineers’ needs.

3D Maritim – Data-Driven Ship Construction

Keeping track of a ship’s construction process and changes in itself can be challenging given the amount of documentation in the database. That is why VR-driven applications work with rapid prototyping to capture the current status of the production process and enable accurate data interchange between reality and virtuality.

German 3D Maritim focuses on placing the elements in the ship’s hull, converting point data into design data, integration of geometric data in the database, real-time measurement, calculation of possible deviations from the expected model.

What About The Other 70 Solutions?

While we believe data is key to creating insights it can be easy to be overwhelmed by it. Our ambition is to create a comprehensive overview and provide actionable innovation intelligence for your Proof of Concept (PoC), partnership, or investment targets. The 5 AR & VR companies showcased above develop promising solutions out of 75 we analyzed for this article.
