tna intelli-assist XR solution for food manufacturers

TNA Solutions has launched the tna intelli-assist, an immersive Industry 5.0 extended reality (XR) solution. From replacing or integrating capital equipment into an existing line to designing a brand-new facility, the XR solution is available to food manufacturers as part of TNA’s Industry 5.0 solutions.

The system uses XR and simulation technologies to enable teams to create digital twins of their manufacturing site, including equipment, utilities and buildings, and demonstrate how the new additions can best fit into their set-up with minimal disruption and optimal designs. By enabling digital twins, virtual collaboration and good planning, the system is designed to deliver 95% planning accuracy and reduce reworks to zero.

Food manufacturers can use the tool to visualise their plant floor, virtually replace systems, and validate manufacturing plans and installations in a low-risk environment. Visualising potential spatial conflicts and utility interferences is designed to ensure clash prevention.

To enhance collaboration, the system also integrates remote meetings into the virtual environment with virtual reality (VR) headsets or through a desktop application. Multiple people can join the plant simulation via their preferred medium to preview the project and directly interact with the digital twin.

Users are introduced to the program through TIA, the virtual guide and mascot of tna intelli-assist. TIA is designed to help users to navigate the platform, streamlining onboarding by handling various tasks.
