Use Cases of AR/VR/MR in the Energy Industry

Remote Assistance and AR Maintenance

Maintenance in energy facilities, including power plants and offshore oil rigs, can be complex and risky. Qvolv’s AR-based remote assistance allows field technicians to overlay digital instructions on real-world equipment and access real-time expert guidance from remote locations. This reduces downtime and improves efficiency in maintenance tasks.

Global Adoption :

Energy companies in Norway and Canada have adopted AR maintenance solutions, achieving 30% faster repair times and a 20% reduction in equipment downtime. In Norway, oil company Equinor has successfully deployed AR to assist workers in offshore maintenance operations, enhancing efficiency and safety.

The energy industry involves hazardous environments, such as high-voltage areas, deep-sea rigs, and chemical processing plants. Qvolv’s VR safety training simulations immerse workers in real-world scenarios, such as fire hazards, electrical malfunctions, and oil spills, allowing them to practice emergency responses in a risk-free environment.

This realistic simulation prepares workers to deal with dangerous situations, reducing accidents and improving overall safety.

Global Adoption :

In the U.S., energy giant ExxonMobil has introduced VR safety training, reducing workplace accidents by 40%. In China, VR training has led to a 50% improvement in emergency preparedness in coal power plants, cutting training costs by 30%.

Mixed Reality for Asset Management

Asset management in the energy sector often involves large, complex infrastructures like pipelines, wind turbines, and transmission lines. Qvolv’s MR solutions allow engineers to overlay virtual data on physical assets, facilitating the visualization of real-time performance data, predictive maintenance needs, and historical information.

MR technology also enables collaboration between teams, as remote workers and field operators can share and review digital twins of assets for better decision-making.

Companies like General Electric (GE) and Siemens have adopted MR for asset management, leading to 25% reduction in operational costs and improving asset uptime by 15%.

Digital Twins for Smart Grids and Renewable Energy

As energy grids become more complex with the integration of renewable energy sources, managing these systems requires advanced technology. Qvolv’s digital twin technology, powered by AR and MR, allows operators to create virtual models of energy grids, wind farms, and solar plants.

By simulating real-time data, operators can predict energy outputs, optimize energy distribution, and perform stress testing on grid systems without physical interventions.

Global Adoption :

Denmark and Germany have been pioneers in integrating digital twins for wind farms and smart grid management. In Denmark, this has resulted in a 15% increase in energy production efficiency, and in Germany, smart grid optimization through digital twins has reduced energy wastage by 20%.

VR for Collaborative Design and Planning

In energy infrastructure projects, such as the construction of power plants or pipelines, collaboration is critical. Qvolv’s VR solutions allow design teams, engineers, and stakeholders to visualize projects in immersive environments before physical construction begins.

Teams can walk through virtual models of power plants or grids, simulate different scenarios, and make adjustments, saving time and reducing errors in the construction phase.
