During initial setup and product changeover, a Flexographic Printing Machine involves several repetitive operations (e.g. sleeve replacement, web threading, impression roll settings, etc.). If not done properly, these can impact the production quality, cause material wastage and impact reputation. Hence, continuous training and qualification of the operators is a high priority for the end customers. As these machines are also exported to various countries, providing training to local operators in their native languages is also a challenge

• With the help of Virtual Training Solution (VTS) platform, a 3D, interactive and gamified training scenario for replacing a sleeve on Flexographic Printing Machine was created for the Lombardi team & was demonstrated at the Drupa-2024 fair. 
• The training is easily accessible via web-based platform and can also be made available in VR format if desired. 
• With inbuilt Learning Management System (with SCORM compliance), it is very easy to follow every user's training progress and drive continuous improvement. 
• Several machine builders and end customers experienced this Virtual training technology in Drupa fair and were quite impressed with the customers benefits.
