Abstract

Industry 4.0 has gained drive in the last few years since most companies at the industrial level need to update and optimize their production chain. Restructuring their processes and improving their human resources skills is imperative if they want to remain competitive. This research presents the development of a virtual reality system for induction motor troubleshooting training. Two sample groups were taken as references. The first one was trained with the VR system, while the second group worked with a conventional methodology. With the use of the proposed system, there was a time reduction of 57.73%. In terms of knowledge acquisition, it was possible to confirm, with a p-value lower than 0.05, that the VR system is more efficient than the conventional methodology. Finally, the system’s usability was evaluated utilizing the System Usability Scale (SUS), obtaining an average value of 73.33.
