The project will create a new way of training and providing digital operational support to medicines manufacturing staff who work in cleanrooms to produce new medicines. Currently, hands on training is delivered manually and takes 6-9 months before a new operator is fully competent to work in the cleanroom. In the project we will develop extended reality (XR) tools that enable 'hands on' training to be performed in a virtual reality headset instead of the physical cleanroom. This will reduce the amount of waste that is produced during training, particularly in terms of disposable plastic materials that once used are either incinerated or end in landfill.An exciting innovation in our project is the addition of a desktop app that will include a workflow builder so that we can rapidly customise training protocols, because even for standard training processes, for example in gowning to enter the facility, companies each have slightly different protocols. Therefore, the XR tools need to be adaptable. The platform will also provide 'manufacturing operator assistance tools' that provide digital support such as instructions and guidance cues to reduce operator errors and enable data capture.We will then test the platform by training apprentices who work in manufacturing roles in a range of UK medicines manufacturing companies, as well as with trainers. The testing will give us insight into the productivity gains, including waste reduction, training time and trainee confidence.

该项目将创造一种新的方式，为在洁净室工作生产新药的药品制造人员提供培训和数字运营支持。目前，动手培训是人工进行的，需要6-9个月的时间，新操作员才能完全胜任洁净室的工作。在该项目中，我们将开发扩展现实(XR)工具，使“动手”培训能够在虚拟现实耳机中进行，而不是在物理洁净室中。这将减少培训过程中产生的废物量，特别是在一次性塑料材料一旦使用就会被焚烧或最终被填埋的方面。我们项目中一个令人兴奋的创新是增加了一个桌面应用程序，它将包括一个工作流构建器，这样我们就可以快速定制培训方案，因为即使是标准的培训流程，例如穿着脸进入设施，公司的协议也略有不同。因此，XR工具需要具有适应性。该平台还将提供制造操作员辅助工具，提供数字支持，如说明和指导线索，以减少操作员错误并实现数据捕获。然后，我们将通过培训在一系列英国药品制造公司工作的学徒以及培训师来测试该平台。测试将让我们深入了解生产率的提高，包括减少浪费、培训时间和学员信心。
