The Steps Involved

Every project like every business and brand is diffrerent, here are some steps we find common between deployments in your industry.

Step 1: Define safety and efficiency KPIs

Select 1–2 goals: safety incidents, training time, or machine uptime. Align with safety and IT teams.

  • Pick safety/efficiency goals 

  • Align safety & IT leads 

  • Confirm compliance baseline

Step 2: Configure tech & content

Choose AR, VR, or projection dashboards. Lock hardware, select modules, integrate with LMS/ERP/CMMS.

- AR glasses/tablets - VR hazard sims - Projection/LED dashboards - LMS/ERP integration

Step 3: Run pilot modules

- 1 VR hazard module - 1 AR maintenance workflow - 1 projection/LED dashboard

Step 4: Test, Record, Improve In Live Service

- Incidents down 15–25% - Training time down 20–40% - Uptime up 5–10% - Retention up 15–25%

Frequently Asked Questions

Do AR glasses replace staff training?

No. They supplement training with live overlays and reminders.

Do projection dashboards need permits?

Yes. Projection/LED installs require OH&S and building code checks.

Can this run offline?

Yes. AR/VR content can cache locally and sync later.

How do we prove ROI?

Calculate incidents avoided, downtime saved, and training hours reduced.

What’s the MVP?

1 VR hazard sim, 1 AR overlay, 1 LED dashboard.

What to track from day one

Track training completion, error rates, incidents, downtime, and KPI dashboards. No biometrics; anonymized IDs.

- training_complete - error_rate - incident_flag - downtime_minutes - kpi_dashboard_view

Tech stack & ops

AR headsets/tablets, VR rigs, projection/LED displays, LMS/ERP/CMMS integration. Ops: device MDM, safety approvals, offline fallback.

- AR devices - VR rigs - Projection/LED boards - LMS/ERP integration - Offline fallback

Example MVP

1 VR hazard training module, 1 AR maintenance overlay, 1 LED dashboard for KPIs. Roll out in one site/factory cell.

Why immersive works in industrial environments

AR step‑by‑step overlays, VR safety simulations, and LED dashboards give frontline staff clarity and managers compliance confidence.

  1. AR/VR training reduces incidents 15–25% 

  2. AR guidance cuts errors 20–30% 

  3. Predictive maintenance boosts uptime 5–10% 

  4. Immersive training lifts recall 15–25%

  • Reduce safety incidents 15–25% 

  • Cut training time 20–40% 

  • Increase uptime 5–10%

Industrial & Manufacturing Playbook

You need faster training, fewer incidents, and higher efficiency. 


This playbook shows how immersive tools deliver step‑by‑step guidance, predictive maintenance, and safer workflows, with clear ROI and compliance.

KPIs & targets

**Safety** −15–25% incidents. **Efficiency** +20–30%. **Uptime** +5–10%. **Retention** +15–25%. Ops crash‑free ≥98%.

ROI snapshot

Inputs: incidents avoided × cost, downtime saved × $/min, training hours saved × wage. Payback
- Incidents avoided × cost - Downtime saved × $/min - Training hours saved - Payback

Pilot Design Example

Run 1 VR hazard sim, 1 AR workflow, 1 LED dashboard. Target: 50–100 staff, KPI thresholds met, zero incidents.
- 1 VR sim - 1 AR workflow - 1 LED dashboard - 50–100 staff - Zero incidents

Safety, Privacy & Compliance in Industrial XR

All installs must meet OH&S, fire, and electrical codes. Projection/LED dashboards must avoid glare and obstruction. No biometrics. Accessibility defaults: high‑contrast, captions, strobe‑safe. LBE sims must be supervised and audited.

• OH&S/fire/electrical codes • Projection/LED glare safe • No biometrics • Accessibility defaults • Supervised LBE sims

Risks & mitigations

Risks: IT pushback, safety approvals, low adoption. Mitigations: early IT alignment, certified installs, staff induction, opt‑in pilots.
