Planning in Cleanrooms – The Role of VR and AR

5 Dec 2024

The presentation at Cleanzone 2024 focuses on how digital data can be leveraged to integrate experience-based knowledge into medical device production, creating a digital twin of the production area. This digital twin enables the optimization of product assembly, workplace layouts, workflows, and processes, ensuring more efficient and effective production environments.

The approach emphasizes defining specific requirements while maintaining flexibility in system design. By planning and building based on existing knowledge and then focusing on workflow and space optimization, organizations can achieve significant benefits. For example, Sanner-Group has successfully applied this method to create value both internally and for their customers.

Key results of this approach include saving up to 20% in project planning time and achieving a 20% reduction in device assembly time. Through the use of Sanner’s VR planning, the process aims to optimize production, enhance worker safety, improve product quality, and ultimately deliver world-class medical device manufacturing.
