Join EMC on September 17 for a virtual roundtable exploring the practical role of virtual reality in today’s manufacturing training environment.

The discussion will feature EMC’s VR Maintenance Trainer – Training Pilot, an immersive learning experience built around digital twins of real manufacturing equipment. Participants work through guided, hands-on troubleshooting scenarios that reflect actual machine breakdowns, helping them understand how equipment functions and apply their knowledge in a realistic, risk-free setting.

Together, we’ll discuss how VR training can help manufacturers:

Develop troubleshooting and problem-solving skills faster
Provide practical training without disrupting production
Build employee confidence in a safe learning environment
Support different learning styles through immersive experiences
Strengthen communication between operators and maintenance teams
Prepare employees for real-world equipment challenges

Whether your organization is exploring virtual reality for the first time or looking for new ways to strengthen an existing training program, this roundtable will offer practical insights into the opportunities, considerations and potential impact of immersive learning in manufacturing.
