Abstract

The implementation of Industry 4.0 in the enterprise forces increased digitization, production flexibility, improvement of employees’ competences and the integration of employees and IT systems. For this purpose, cutting-edge IT systems and solutions such as Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality (VR/AR/MR) are increasingly used. These technologies can be used, in training processes of ma-chines and equipment operating procedures. The paper is a case study on the possibility of using MR applications in training in the use of electrical devices (ARS 2 Pro switch disconnector). The aim of the work is to compare MR and standard training and evaluate their effectiveness in this type of training. The paper briefly describes developed applications and preliminary test-results.

A group of 20 people in the age group 20 to 40. The participants were divided in-to 2 subgroups in order to properly analyze the effectiveness of individual training tools.
