Virtual Reality OEE Monitoring System Simulation
Immersive CNC Production Simulation & Smart Manufacturing
Explore an integrated manufacturing system that combines Virtual Reality, OEE Monitoring, Standardized Work, Time & Motion Study, and real-time 3D visualization in one platform.
Experience Production in Virtual Reality
This project transforms a CNC production line into an immersive Virtual Reality environment where users can experience the production process from the perspective of an operator.
Using a VR headset, the operator can interact directly with the production line, perform machine operations, follow the Standardized Work sequence, and complete the production cycle.
The same system can also be accessed through a web browser, allowing production performance to be monitored through an interactive 3D dashboard.
From VR Simulation to OEE Monitoring
Every activity performed during the VR production simulation can be monitored and connected to the production monitoring system.
Production information such as:
Production output
Machine running status
Downtime
Downtime categories
Defects
Operator performance
Production cycle activities
can be collected and processed for OEE calculation and analysis.
The result can then be visualized through real-time OEE dashboards.
Real-Time Operator Tracking
The system also captures the operator's position and movement inside the VR environment.
This information can be visualized on the 3D dashboard, allowing us to see where the operator is working and how they move throughout the production line in real time.
This provides an opportunity to perform Time & Motion Study and analyze operator movement as part of Standardized Work improvement.
Standardized Work Integration
The project is also integrated with a Standardized Work Document Management System.
Standardized Work documents can be created and analyzed using Excel VBA tools, then uploaded to the system through API communication.
Once uploaded, the documents can be accessed directly from the dashboard.
The system also supports barcode-based document access, allowing operators to scan a barcode and immediately display the corresponding Standardized Work document.
This eliminates the need to manually search through files or physical documents at the production line.
You will get free license for Standardized Work Analyze Tool Video Capture for creating 3 Sheets (Production Capacity Sheet, Standardized Work Combination Table, Standardized Work Chart) and upload the result to system
Technology
The system is developed using several technologies, including:
FlowFuse Node-RED · Three.js · Virtual Reality · PostgreSQL · Excel VBA · API Communication · 3D Models
Who Can Use This Concept?
This project can be used as a learning and development platform for:
Industrial Engineering students
Manufacturing engineers
Lean Manufacturing practitioners
Industry 4.0 developers
OEE practitioners
Universities and educational institutions
Operator training programs
Manufacturing companies
Smart Factory initiatives
It can also serve as a starting point for developing similar systems for actual production environments.

You can explore the 3D production dashboard and experience the system directly in your browser.
If you have your own VR headset, you can also access the dashboard from your headset and enter VR Mode to experience the immersive CNC production simulation.
Required playing area: 6x4 m
Try the demo and experience the system yourself!
How to Use:
Open the VR page in your VR headset, refresh the page, then click Enter VR. Click Allow if a notification permission appears.
Press and hold the Oculus button to recenter and adjust your position.
Have another person open the VR dashboard in a laptop browser. Make sure the worker avatar is visible, indicating that the VR participant has successfully entered the VR session.
Click the Production ON switch to start the production cycle. The machine tower lamps will turn ON.
From the laptop dashboard, you can trigger a machine downtime. When the machine status turns red, the operator in VR must reset the machine by pressing the Reset button above the machine panel.
Person in VR environment can start the production, please read the standardized work before start production.
