China Resources Power Xuzhou, a power generation company in Xuzhou, China, uses VR headsets to train employees on workplace safety. The company works with Huanwei Power, whose cloud platform delivers the content to DPVR E4 headsets, so staff can practise recognising and responding to hazards in a simulated setting rather than on site.
The courses cover falls from height, collapse, fire, poisoning and being struck by objects. Employees carry out simulated operations and complete assessments in VR, and the training is built into day-to-day safety education for different posts.
How it works
- Headsets: DPVR E4 headsets, worn by employees for the course sessions.
- Platform: Huanwei Power's cloud platform, which supplies the safety courses.
- Interaction: 6DoF controllers are used for the hands-on exercises and assessments in each course.
Scale and reported results
DPVR's July 2024 case roundup states that Xuzhou employees completed more than 30 VR safety courses across these hazard types, which indicates the programme was already running by that date. The same vendor roundup claims that this kind of AI and VR training lowered training costs, raised efficiency and reduced accident injuries in real production. These are supplier claims without supporting figures.
The November 2026 coverage of the programme is a syndicated vendor advertorial carried by several outlets, so the account comes from DPVR's own material.
