Siemens Global Training

Siemens virtual training.

As a leader in the global energy industry, Siemens is at the forefront of using Digital Technologies to improve products and services.

Download The Full Siemens Case Study

Virtualization of training is a high priority as technologies provide new opportunities to improve skills, safety, and provide opportunities for significant cost savings for Siemens and its customers.

Virtual training has been used within Siemens for many years, however, the pace at which virtual and augmented reality technologies are developing provides new opportunities to accelerate digitalization initiatives across all of Siemens businesses.

One of the critical success factors for virtual training is being cost-effective and highly scalable across multiple technologies with quality performance of real-time graphics. To achieve this Siemens selected VE Studio Virtual Training Development Platform which utilizes Unity’s real-time 3D development platform. VE Studio for Unity provides Siemens with a comprehensive platform on which to develop virtual training and field service applications quickly and cost-effectively by using the proven workflow and tools. Unity’s platform provides the ability to deploy high-fidelity applications on any device using the power of Unity’s engine. Siemens is currently conducting its virtual training using the HP Reverb for VR and the Microsoft HoloLens and the Magic Leap One for AR.

SGT6-8000 Hot Gas Path Inspection

Development of the first Siemens virtual training application began in 2016 with the goal of reducing the time and cost of training new technicians on a Hot Gas Path Inspection on Siemens SGT6-8000H Gas Turbine.

This project involved creating a virtual simulation of the SGT6-8000H Gas Turbine to teach the procedures required to perform this particular inspection. This virtual environment enabled showing the procedures visually in virtual reality (Teach). Enabling the technicians to explore the turbine and the procedures by interacting with the equipment (Practice) and then to test their skills through an interactive assessment process (Assess).

Initial results of the project provided the following data showing significant improvements in both time and retention:

• OVERALL TRAINING TIME  REDUCED BY 66% .
• 13% INITIAL PASS RATE IMPROVEMENT  USING THE VIRTUAL TRAINING SOLUTION VS. TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM LECTURE MODEL.

These positive results have led the development of virtual training and field service applications across a number of different product lines and have transformed how Siemens trains it field services technicians.

“We now approach virtual training as part of an integrated and holistic training curriculum,” says Kevin Carpenter, Global Training Network Director.

“We can provide capabilities and experiences virtually that we could not provide in the classroom or even during hands on training due to cost and safety considerations.”

SGT6-4000F Hot Gas Path Inspection

The SGT6-4000F was the next major project for the Global Services team managed by Siemens’ training team located in Berlin, Germany.

This project required a global development team from the United States and Europe to set up project infrastructure in order to manage the joint development effort.

The global development team was able to reduce development time on the SGT6-4000F by over 30% from the SGT6-8000H due to the capabilities of the VE Studio workflow to support multi-location projects and the experience the development teams gained on the first project.

One of the benefits of the database-driven architecture of VE Studio for Unity is the repackaging of content to create other training applications. Using the SGT6-4000F content, the team has developed additional modules such as a visual turbine blade inspection training that is suited for use in a fully immersive Virtual Reality experience.

In this application, a technician uses Virtual Reality to be completely immersed in the virtual SGT6-4000F turbine and is required to identify potential damage to components inside of the gas turbine. This training is able to provide immediate feedback to the technician and assess performance to aid the technician in becoming more proficient on identifying damage and taking the subsequent corrective action.

SGT-400 Turbine Removal

Building on the success of the large frame turbine trainers, Siemens expanded the use of virtual training to its fleet of industrial gas turbines.

The SGT400 is a 10-15 MW gas turbine commonly used in factories, oil rigs and other similar applications. The turbine is typically housed in an enclosure with other components and is sometimes referred to as a “package” so that it can be easily transported and installed.

Periodically, the turbine  needs to be removed from  the package in order to be  serviced or repaired. This procedure is not routine or performed frequently so technicians need to be familiarized with the procedures prior to arriving at site and conducting the removal.

One of the design requirements was to have all of the procedures available for both desktop and fully immersive virtual reality use. The development team was able to directly implement this capability due to its database-driven architecture, the workflow built into VE Studio, and the multi-platform deployment capability of Unity. The capability to use this training in both desktop and fully immersive virtual reality provides Siemens technicians with tremendous flexibility on access to the training applications via their internal cloud.

Zero Harm Culture

Safety training & assessment.

Recently, Siemens has implemented a global company-wide initiative or a “Zero Harm Culture” campaign aiming to improve safety, health, and well-being.

After experiencing such great success with its Digitalization initiative for virtual maintenance training, Siemens decided to create a training module using VE Studio to educate and foster its “Zero Harm” safety culture. The initial project created a virtual game that would assess workers’ awareness of various OSHA related requirements. Siemens used existing content from the SGT6-8000H curriculum as a baseline for the application.

“This game is now available to all 80,000 Siemens Gas and Power employees via the internal Intranet. This application has really helped to create awareness about the power of virtual reality technologies to educate workers about important topics. With virtual reality, we can put the employees into dangerous areas and teach them how to spot potentially dangerous situations and perform corrective actions. I think this is a real game-changer for our business and for the industry,” says Carpenter.

Digitalization is a top priority for Siemens and training is an area where technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and cloud services are being used to create new digital models of training and field services. With employees on nearly every continent, the challenge for Siemens is finding a way to leverage virtual technologies to improve training in a scalable, cost-effective manner for its global workforce. The power generation market is becoming more decentralized and demands a portfolio of physical and digital technology resources and training. Siemens has partnered with DiSTI in its initiative to develop a long term solution to digitalize globally accessible training.

• About Adverse Childhood Experiences
• Risk and Protective Factors
• Program: Essentials for Childhood: Preventing Adverse Childhood Experiences through Data to Action
• Adverse childhood experiences can have long-term impacts on health, opportunity and well-being.
• Adverse childhood experiences are common and some groups experience them more than others.

What are adverse childhood experiences?

Adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs, are potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood (0-17 years). Examples include: 1

• Experiencing violence, abuse, or neglect.
• Witnessing violence in the home or community.
• Having a family member attempt or die by suicide.

Also included are aspects of the child’s environment that can undermine their sense of safety, stability, and bonding. Examples can include growing up in a household with: 1

• Substance use problems.
• Mental health problems.
• Instability due to parental separation.
• Instability due to household members being in jail or prison.

The examples above are not a complete list of adverse experiences. Many other traumatic experiences could impact health and well-being. This can include not having enough food to eat, experiencing homelessness or unstable housing, or experiencing discrimination. 2 3 4 5 6

Quick facts and stats

ACEs are common. About 64% of adults in the United States reported they had experienced at least one type of ACE before age 18. Nearly one in six (17.3%) adults reported they had experienced four or more types of ACEs. 7

Preventing ACEs could potentially reduce many health conditions. Estimates show up to 1.9 million heart disease cases and 21 million depression cases potentially could have been avoided by preventing ACEs. 1

Some people are at greater risk of experiencing one or more ACEs than others. While all children are at risk of ACEs, numerous studies show inequities in such experiences. These inequalities are linked to the historical, social, and economic environments in which some families live. 5 6 ACEs were highest among females, non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native adults, and adults who are unemployed or unable to work. 7

ACEs are costly. ACEs-related health consequences cost an estimated economic burden of $748 billion annually in Bermuda, Canada, and the United States. 8

ACEs can have lasting effects on health and well-being in childhood and life opportunities well into adulthood. 9 Life opportunities include things like education and job potential. These experiences can increase the risks of injury, sexually transmitted infections, and involvement in sex trafficking. They can also increase risks for maternal and child health problems including teen pregnancy, pregnancy complications, and fetal death. Also included are a range of chronic diseases and leading causes of death, such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and suicide. 1 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

ACEs and associated social determinants of health, such as living in under-resourced or racially segregated neighborhoods, can cause toxic stress. Toxic stress, or extended or prolonged stress, from ACEs can negatively affect children’s brain development, immune systems, and stress-response systems. These changes can affect children’s attention, decision-making, and learning. 18

Children growing up with toxic stress may have difficulty forming healthy and stable relationships. They may also have unstable work histories as adults and struggle with finances, jobs, and depression throughout life. 18 These effects can also be passed on to their own children. 19 20 21 Some children may face further exposure to toxic stress from historical and ongoing traumas. These historical and ongoing traumas refer to experiences of racial discrimination or the impacts of poverty resulting from limited educational and economic opportunities. 1 6

Adverse childhood experiences can be prevented. Certain factors may increase or decrease the risk of experiencing adverse childhood experiences.

Preventing adverse childhood experiences requires understanding and addressing the factors that put people at risk for or protect them from violence.

Creating safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments for all children can prevent ACEs and help all children reach their full potential. We all have a role to play.
