FRAMEWORK
The “EcoCeramics and Crystals of Portugal” agenda is an integrative and transversal proposal for the Ceramics and Crystal sectors, which aims to improve their international positioning.
It develops in a strategic sector of the national economy and aims to increase its competitiveness, based on factors of innovation, differentiation and a strong collaborative dynamic throughout the various segments of the sector's value chain, supported by improving the qualifications of its employees. active.
It has a specific focus on 6 strategic pillars - energy transition, decarbonization, circularity, digital transition, training and capacity building and promotion and dissemination.
PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
Using digital technologies, training modules will be created to simulate smart factories - connected, automated and with advanced production processes. All of these will be aligned with Industry 4.0 and more sustainable processes, using new fuels such as H2 and other renewable energy sources, promoting the double transition.
The result will be the creation of a digital training academy, accessible to the entire sector, through virtual and immersive learning methods, recreating the manufacturing, laboratory and storage environment. This approach will allow you to simulate scenarios for problem solving, generating new ideas, analyzing and interpreting data, facilitating decision making.
Another of the solutions presented will be a set of training paths, using inverted learning methods that allow learning through videos, and also advanced training courses on Digital Transformation, Sustainability and Energy Transition.
CCG/ZGDV CONTRIBUTION
CCG/ZGDV is involved in WP7: development of a Digital Training Academy, accessible to the entire sector, through the development of virtual and immersive learning methods, for continuous and advanced training of workers.
AR@Ceramic and Glass Academy represents a new training approach based on an Augmented Reality model of Ceramic Production Processes, which recreates a factory environment (manufacturing processes), laboratory, and warehouse, simulating situations to solve problems and generating new ideas, analyzing and processing data to support decision-making.
With this application, it is possible to build scenarios with 3D models, define reference markers in specific spaces, define interactions between the user and the respective models and outputs, and record user behavior and performance.
