Top 5 gifts that have to be at the top of your Christmas shopping list for employees

  1. Immersive Training Modules

Using immersive technology including AR, VR, and MR, provides an entirely unique and hands-on training experience. When working with complex machinery, it is crucial to ensure a thorough and confident understanding of the components and operations before even thinking of physically touching it. When trainees are fully immersed in their future environment, they are provided the opportunity to gain real-world experience in a safe and controlled atmosphere, in turn ensuring a higher information retention rate and ultimately diminishing costly mistakes.

Training can be transformed into an immersive experience in several ways. Examples include utilizing Virtual Reality training scenarios, providing interactive 3D models of products and equipment using your CAD data, and developing interactive training modules provided by IQ3 Connect that allow the trainee to fully interact with their learning.

Implementing immersive technology in the training stage of your operations will ensure employees hit the floor with confidence, ultimately strengthening your workforce and ensuring daily operations go off without a hitch.

  1. Seamless collaboration

With more and more businesses adopting a hybrid model of work, the greatest challenge has become ensuring all team members, regardless of where they’re operating from, are able to communicate and collaborate effectively. When employees are collaborating on complex projects or intricate designs, there is no better way to ensure everyone is on the same page than integrating immersive technology. Using your CAD data, projects can be seamlessly patched into software that is easily accessible, whether through a standard device, or fully immersive headset. Using immersive software, team members are able to explore all components of project material and offer suggestions for improvement, try out new operating scenarios, and communicate with one another in real-time.

Immersive collaboration ensures all employees can contribute to development, feel heard, and engage in open communication without any pesky lagging.

  1. Interactive models of complex products

Whether you’re developing new equipment, testing upcoming projects, or updating product knowledge, the quality of your models will determine the success of your product. 3D models are easily rendered from your CAD data and new software makes it easy to offer your data to your team, accessible anywhere, anytime, and from any device.

Using 3D tools, employees are able to interact with projects in real time, even if the equipment is not yet physically developed. These tools allow your team to master new products before they even hit the sales floor or enter your building. Using 3D modelling equipment is easy to visualize, enhancing comprehension and information retention, and provides a safe environment for learning, ensuring your team feels confident long before production begins.

Hands on models can be made accessible through any type of immersive technology, from Virtual Reality set ups to handheld devices.

  1. Dynamic sales tools

Ensuring your business stands out from the competition during sales pitches and trade shows is no easy task. The modern customer expects a unique experience that leaves them feeling confident in what they are investing in. Implementing immersive technology is the easiest and most definite way to ensure a captivating and memorable customer experience. Providing prospects with engaging experiences from an interactive application accessible through any standard mobile device, to a fully immersive VR tour of your facility, is guaranteed to instill confidence in your business. Implementing immersive technology also cuts down immensely on transportation and logistics costs, through technology you can bring your biggest and most complex equipment halfway across the world with nothing but a portable device.

Giving your team access to dynamic digital sales tools will streamline their sales experience and lead to greater return with zero risk.
