Operators, chemical technicians and maintenance staff train in VR on a model of your actual plant. Procedures can be repeated until they hold – safely, and without interrupting production.
VR · XR · AR
Put on the headset and you move through the same space you will later work in. Operate valves, isolate faults, run the control room – on a model of your plant, not in a generic training hall.

Hands-on
In the headset the actions stay concrete: close a valve, service a conveyor, see the next step. The sequence is in place before anyone enters the live plant.
One model
Whoever stands at the valve sees the same plant as the control room. VR, XR and AR share one model – only the view changes, not the content.
Complement
The training is at its strongest on the VR headset. If none is free, or someone only needs to observe, the same run is available on tablet or PC – as a complement, not a substitute.
We capture your plant and turn it into an interactive model for the headset. Operators and technicians rehearse procedures before they step onto the shop floor.
Training takes place off-site on the digital twin. Valve sequences, assembly steps and fault cases can be repeated as often as needed – without interrupting production.
Guided runs that build in difficulty, followed by an exam mode without assistance.
Incorrect actions show their effect in the simulation – safely in the headset, not on the real plant.
We reconstruct your plant as an interactive real-time model – Unreal Engine 5 and OpenXR, standalone on Pico.
Real control rooms are mapped into the virtual space, so trainees can match physical actions such as valve turns with the software readouts.
A guided introduction walks users through the topic, raises the difficulty step by step and assesses the run in an integrated exam mode.
Interactive multi-user environments for teams, configurable weather and full localisation for international use.
Next Factory VR is VR training on a model of your plant. Alongside it sit two sister products: GodView for the browser overview, and FirefighterVR for plant fire brigades and occupational fire protection. Same origin, distinctly separate products – you choose the tool that matches the training goal.
A browser twin for overview and walkthrough at the desk. Not VR training, not exam modules – the digital overview of the plant.
Bespoke plant training in the headset. Pilot plant, chemical park, maintenance – built on a model of your plant, not taken from a catalogue.
Standalone VR training for plant fire brigades and occupational fire protection. Catalogue and kit – not Next Factory’s bespoke plant training.
We immerse ourselves in your technical content, visit the site, inspect the plants and understand the processes – the foundation for the bespoke training.
In the concept phase, visible discussion material appears early. Personal consulting throughout the project protects the outcome and reduces surprises.
Development proceeds in a shared rhythm. Regular status updates give you control and room for feedback.
Software and workflows remain adjustable. Tests with your end users confirm usability before rollout.
Your bespoke VR training goes into service. We support the rollout and continue to develop the application and content if you wish.
Every training is developed for your plant. The three tiers mark the usual range – from a guided walkaround to team training across sites. The exact figure follows from the plant, the depth of interaction and the data you provide.
from €20,000
Step-by-step SOPs and safety walkarounds. Task guidance with highlights and short videos. Basic interaction such as hatches, fasteners and inspection. Progress and completion tracking. A fit for onboarding on one machine or line.
from €50,000
The plant reacts to operation: pressure, temperature, material flow. Non-linear paths, faults and recovery. Deeper mechanics on sub-assemblies. A fit when operators should practise plant behaviour, not only the walkaround.
from €100,000
Several people in the same space at once – instructor and group. Complex scenarios, connection to your systems, rollout across sites. For joint training and longer-term use.
Prices are net and indicative. Typically three months after handover of model data and documents. CAD and photographs reduce the work on the plant model; operating levers, hatches and valves still usually require modelling on our side.
The software runs locally on the headset. Updates and device management via Pico Device Manager; distribution via guest Wi-Fi or hotspot – without joining the internal corporate network during training.
During active training the software runs locally on the standalone headsets. Training data and plant configurations are not transmitted over the internet.
The headsets operate independently of the internal corporate network. Updates or new scenarios are distributed via guest Wi-Fi or hotspot.
App and OS lifecycle via Pico Device Manager. That eases the load on internal IT; it does not replace their approval process.
Available Monday to Friday, 9:00–13:00, on +49 (0) 2173 9996715.
