In the employee training system of industrial enterprises, the quality of equipment operation training directly affects production efficiency, product quality, and safety production. Traditional training methods rely on paper manuals, on-site demonstrations, and master-apprentice models, which suffer from low information transmission efficiency and difficulty in standardizing operating procedures. Equipment operation animation, through 3D visualization technology, transforms complex equipment operation processes into dynamic images, providing an efficient and precise solution for employee training.
I. Core Advantages of Equipment Operation Animation
(I) Precise Presentation of Operational Details
Guangdong Topin Intelligent Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. commissioned Xiamen Xuncheng to produce a 3D animation video of a high-speed flexographic printing machine, demonstrating the operation, maintenance, repair, wear parts replacement, and safety aspects of the entire machine and its production processes. It not only recreated the equipment operation and maintenance procedures but also broke down the location of wear parts and replacement procedures into standardized steps through dynamic demonstrations.
(II) Simulating Real Operation Scenarios
Equipment operation animation utilizes 3D modeling technology to accurately present the appearance, internal structure, and operational processes of the equipment. From equipment startup, operation, to shutdown, each step is displayed in a dynamic and intuitive manner. For example, in the operation and usage animation of the flexographic printing machine produced by Xuncheng, the button functions of the paper feeding unit, parameter settings, and equipment operation screens were clearly demonstrated. By watching the animation, operators can quickly familiarize themselves with the operating procedures, avoid equipment failures and production accidents caused by incorrect operation sequences, and improve operational accuracy and efficiency.
(III) Achieving Standardized Training
Operation animation can solidify the company's operating norms and standard procedures. Topin Intelligent embedded equipment operation and maintenance animations into the control console, allowing after-sales service engineers to guide production personnel in standardized training. Many customers have expressed that by watching the animations combined with engineers' guidance, they gained a clearer understanding of equipment operation, and customer satisfaction with after-sales service has significantly improved.
II. Practical Cases of Equipment Operation Animation in Employee Training
(I) Shortening Training Cycles
Upon new employee onboarding, Topin Intelligent uses equipment operation and maintenance animations as standardized training materials, replacing the limitations of the traditional master's "learn-by-doing on-site" approach. By using animation to train new employees, companies enable them to master machine and equipment operation skills in a short period, significantly shortening the training cycle.
(II) Reducing Training Costs
After after-sales service engineers from Topin Intelligent provide remote teaching and training, companies no longer need to frequently arrange engineers to be stationed at their premises, reducing travel and training costs for personnel. Additionally, animations can be reused, decreasing investment in training staff.
(III) Improving Training Effectiveness
Furthermore, animations support multilingual versions, allowing production personnel to learn anytime, anywhere via tablets. With the release of animated videos, employees can clearly understand the equipment's working principles and key operation points through the animations. The rate of operational errors has noticeably decreased, and the training efficiency of the after-sales team has also been significantly enhanced.
Equipment operation animation plays an important role in employee training due to its advantages such as precision, scenario simulation, and standardization. Practical case studies demonstrate its effectiveness in shortening training cycles, reducing costs, and improving training outcomes. Enterprises should prioritize the production and application of equipment operation animations to provide employees with higher-quality training resources and drive corporate development.
FAQ Highlights:
Q: Will operation and maintenance animations expose sensitive equipment structures?
A: No.
Operation and maintenance animations demonstrate the content of traditional paper operation manuals in the form of animated videos (e.g., in a printing machine, the paper feeding unit mainly explains how to adjust baffles and guides, and how to load paper; the printing unit mainly explains how to apply ink, change plates, and adjust printing pressure, none of which involve sensitive equipment structures). Machine manufacturers can also choose to delete or modify sensitive equipment structures when providing equipment models.
The initiative always remains with the machine manufacturer.
Q: How can small companies without an "Equipment Operation Manual" produce operation and maintenance animations?
A: Xuncheng can provide a full-chain service for producing equipment operation and maintenance animations. The specifics are as follows:
1- After the equipment is installed and debugged, the machine manufacturer can record on-site training sessions with multiple fixed cameras and convert them into documents (Xuncheng can also provide this service);
2- Xuncheng will categorize and optimize the relevant content;
3- The document will be sent to the machine manufacturer for confirmation;
Q: Which equipment is suitable for producing operation and maintenance animations?
A: Almost all equipment is suitable for producing operation and maintenance animations, from large single machines worth millions to smaller ones costing tens of thousands or even thousands of yuan.
Producing operation and maintenance animations helps solve after-sales service issues, enhances brand and product value, promotes sales, and increases customer loyalty.
