TOMS

Denmark's leading producer of sweets and chocolate, Toms, is optimizing a larger production apparatus. Before spending large sums on a new process line, it is important to ensure that the design meets all requirements and needs. Therefore, the Toms facility has been a trip into virtual reality.

VR WORKSHOP FOR EMPLOYEES

Kirkholm has brought a 3D model of the new process line to life in virtual reality. At a workshop at Toms, the sweets and chocolate manufacturer's technicians and operators could experience the virtual plant in size one to one. With the VR glasses on, you get a realistic feel for the design. You can, for example, reach for a box or check what the lifting height is. In this way, you can better relate to how the plant actually looks and works - and whether it makes sense.

SPACIOUS INSIGHT PROVIDES IMPORTANT FEEDBACK

After Toms' employees had experienced the production facility in VR, they were able to review drawings, discuss details and adjust the design with a common understanding of the design.

Senior Project Manager Frederik Schnoor Caspersen experiences that there are advantages to using VR technology.



- What gave the greatest value by using virtual reality for the design review was that the plant was made tangible. Operators, technicians and the project team gained a completely different inclusive insight into the facility, and we received feedback that we probably would not have received without virtual reality, he explains.
