1. Technology overview
Simulanis is an industrial augmented and virtual reality company founded in India in 2013, with its global headquarters in Loughborough, UK, and an office in Noida, India. It addresses the difficulty of training workers safely for high-risk tasks in oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, automotive, mining, energy and FMCG. The company reports 400+ enterprise clients, 700+ sites deployed and 30,000+ workers trained.
The XR Training Suite combines a skills engine with a content library. Skill Gauge maps skills and assigns learning paths, Skill Stream provides 100+ certified courses, Skill Bridge XR offers 200+ ready XR modules, and Skill Tracer runs XR-based assessments. Modules cover safety, GMP pharmaceutical operations and maintenance procedures and run on HTC Vive, Meta Quest, Android, iOS and WebGL browsers. Simulanis also supplies welding, paint, forklift, scaffold and fire-extinguisher simulators and custom modules.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Skill Gauge: maps workforce skills, assigns learning paths and monitors performance.
- Skill Bridge XR library: 200+ ready modules for oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, automotive, safety, vocational and K-12 topics.
- Skill Tracer assessments: XR-based tests measure cognitive and behavioural readiness.
- Industrial simulators: welding, paint, forklift, scaffold, mining and fire-extinguisher simulators with hardware.
- Cross-platform delivery: runs on HTC Vive, Meta Quest, Android, iOS and WebGL browsers.
- Custom XR development: modules built for a client's own plant, equipment and procedures.
3. Potential application
- Refineries and gas processing plants training operators on permit-to-work, confined-space and fire response in VR.
- Pharmaceutical factories training staff on GMP procedures for tablets, liquids and injectables.
- Vocational colleges setting up AR/VR labs for welding, painting and forklift skills.
4. Benefits
- Safe practice of hazardous tasks: workers rehearse confined-space entry, hot work, work at height and lockout-tagout without real risk.
- Ready content: 200+ XR modules for oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, automotive, safety and vocational trades shorten time to launch.
- Measurable readiness: skill mapping, XR assessments and dashboards show which workers are ready for each role.
- Lower consumable cost: welding and paint simulators give feedback on defects, coverage and material use before real work.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Process industries are under pressure to cut incidents and meet GMP and safety audits while onboarding large numbers of new and contract workers. Immersive simulators let them train on hazardous or expensive equipment without downtime or consumables. Vietnam's oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical and automotive supplier plants, along with vocational colleges, face similar skill gaps and safety requirements.
