You know the feeling \u2014 a supplier sends specs for a new machine and you realize it’s 30 cm too wide for the floor. After two weeks of studying 3D models on a monitor, drawing DWG layouts, taping outlines on the floor, and building cardboard mockups. All just to imagine how the new line would fit.<\/p>\n

That’s exactly the problem Freudenberg Home and Cleaning Solutions \u2014 makers of Vileda products \u2014 decided to solve.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

The old way: tape, cardboard, and a lot of stress<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

Whenever a new machine arrived at the Czech Freudenberg plant, the process was always the same: engineers got 2D drawings, the team headed to the floor with a tape measure, marked the machine outline with tape, someone built a cardboard mockup, and everyone stood around trying to picture how it would actually look.<\/p>\n

The problem? Nobody could properly visualize height. Or whether a forklift could pass. Or how maintenance staff would access the machine. Errors only showed up during installation \u2014 and fixes cost time and money.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

The turning point<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

We knew manufacturing companies were dealing with these problems over and over. When we first met the Freudenberg team, they didn’t know there was a way to walk around a new machine at full scale directly on the shop floor \u2014 before ordering it. They hadn’t heard of XR technology for layout planning.<\/p>\n

We showed them what’s possible today. And opened a completely new perspective on production planning.<\/p>\n

We proposed a solution built on XR technology \u2014 specifically Meta Quest 3 headsets and JoinXR software.<\/p>\n

The concept is simple: upload a 3D model, put on the headset, and suddenly you’re standing next to a machine that isn’t physically there \u2014 but looks like it is. At 1:1 scale. Accurate to centimeters.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

What changed<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

The first test took half a day. The team was skeptical \u2014 another technology, more training, more complications.<\/p>\n

Then they put on the headset.<\/p>\n

“This solution is simple \u2014 just a few clicks and within minutes I can see the actual machine model right on the production floor. No more guessing from drawings,” said Miroslav Lux, Process Engineer.<\/p>\n

Du\u0161an Sv\u00edtil, General Manager, summed it up: “Honestly, I was surprised by how simple and effective it is \u2014 the team picked it up immediately and we now use it regularly.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
