With BenThorVerse, BenThor automation introduces an innovative VR system for industrial training applications. The platform enables simulation-based training in a fully virtual environment—independent of physical hardware or live production equipment.
At the core of BenThorVerse is the integration of a digital twin with an immersive 3D environment. Users navigate through a realistic replica of the production system and train typical operating, setup, or troubleshooting procedures. Even emergency scenarios can be simulated without any safety risks.
This allows users to gain process understanding, perform root cause analysis, and rehearse actions repeatedly—without being tied to machine availability or safety restrictions. Companies dealing with high product variety or safety-critical operations benefit especially from this approach.
Operator training for new equipment
Fault simulation and troubleshooting under safe conditions
Technical onboarding for new employees
Standardization and quality assurance of process steps
No dependency on real machines: Training can be decoupled from production schedules.
High safety: No risk to personnel or machinery.
Repeatability and scalability: Standardized content can be accessed anytime, as often as needed.
Cost efficiency: Reduction of downtime, travel costs, and physical training setups.
BenThorVerse is based on state-of-the-art VR technology using standard headsets and a custom-developed user interface. The virtual training environment is generated from CAD and PLC data, ensuring a high level of realism.
The system has already been presented at multiple industry trade fairs, including Hannover Messe 2024, and has received consistently positive feedback. Technical publications highlight its practical relevance and ease of integration into existing training frameworks.
Conclusion:
BenThorVerse provides a practical, economical, and safe solution for training personnel on complex production systems—especially in contexts where real-life training is costly, risky, or logistically impractical.
