In a context where innovation is crucial, our client Groupe ADF embraces virtual reality (VR) not just as a technological tool but as a strategic component. This approach revolutionizes their workflows in pre-sales, design, training, and maintenance, delivering tangible benefits for both their clients and employees across the entire value chain.
Here’s an overview of how VR is being used in this group committed to staying at the forefront of innovation:
VR as a tool for Conviction and Engagement
With SKYREAL, Groupe ADF creates immersive simulations of equipment lines at a 1:1 scale. These virtual prototypes enable sales teams to present concrete projects to their clients, making processes and technical specifics easier to understand. This immersive approach improves communication with all project stakeholders, increases transparency, and enhances success rates in bids by significantly reducing risks of misunderstandings.
Immersive Training: accelerated skill acquisition
VR provides an inherently immersive learning environment. Employees can safely familiarize themselves with complex equipment, practicing tasks repeatedly under real industrial conditions. This results in faster training, solid skill acquisition, and enhanced adherence to safety standards, strengthening quality and safety benchmarks in industrial projects.
Design and Maintenance: enhanced reliability and process optimization
Virtual reality allows Groupe ADF teams to simulate and optimize complex processes from the earliest design phases. Through ergonomic reviews and 3D maintenance simulations, each step is carefully analyzed and improved. This ensures equipment that is both reliable and maintainable, reducing costly errors and minimizing intervention times for clients.
What’s next for large-scale Virtual Reality deployment
As part of its long-term vision, Groupe ADF aims to deploy virtual reality across all its centers and workshops. With modular and adaptable equipment, each site will be able to customize its experiences to meet specific needs, making this technology accessible to a larger audience within the group to maximize its efficiency and impact.
An inspiring case study: Beneteau and innovative boat design
In collaboration with Beneteau’s design team, Groupe ADF demonstrated the impact of VR by validating boat concepts in just a few hours without relying on physical models. This approach, made possible by SKYREAL, illustrates the acceleration of validation processes while reducing costs and timelines. These advances enable iterative and rapid development, fostering innovation within industrial projects.
Groupe ADF and SKYREAL – A collaboration for industrial excellence
Groupe ADF is pushing the boundaries of innovation by transforming industrial workflows with immersive technologies across the entire value chain. By leveraging this technologies, Groupe ADF is taking a significant step toward for a more connected, collaborative, and innovative industry.
