Virtual tour of business premises before they are developed

The system partner for quality tools and workstations and storage solutions has enhanced its CAD planning software for this purpose with the addition of virtual reality glasses. Customers who have their new business premises planned by Hoffmann Group specialists therefore have the opportunity to take a virtual tour of their production premises and workshops in advance and thus test space within reach, fields of vision and spatial sense as if they already existed. This provides greater security of investment in new operating facilities.

Customers can immerse themselves in their planned project and have comprehensive adjustments and alterations performed by their consultant using the CAD software following the virtual tour. For this purpose the CAD software, in conjunction with the virtual reality glasses, gives the user a 3D effect. The user thus gets the impression of being physically present in a virtual room and being able to move about in it freely. Objects that would obstruct working operations or moments of panic caused by wrongly positioned traffic routes can thus be eliminated in advance and the working environment configured precisely to satisfy the ergonomic requirements of the employees.

An ergonomically designed workplace not only improves motivation and job satisfaction but also reduces the decline in performance during the course of a working shift. Hoffmann Group therefore offers comprehensive advice concerning this topic and has developed a corresponding concept that not only places the individual centre stage, rather focuses on the entire working situation – from safety at work to workplace and working environment. Apart from issues such as colour design and lighting, topics such as noise protection and workplace ergonomics are also examined.
