VECR - Virtual Engine Control Room

Innovative VR Training for the Engine Control Room.

Cutting Edge Virtual Reality Training

Kilo is proud to introduce the Virtual Engine Control Room (VECR), a pioneering breakthrough in maritime training technology.

Designed to simulate a ship's engine engine room, VECR employs virtual reality to offer an exceptionally immersive and interactive learning environment, setting new standards in maritime education.

How VECR Works

VECR comprises a sophisticated VR training application that accurately simulates essential components of a ship’s engine control room, including:

Generator Panels
Shore Panel
Bow thruster Panel
Computer Screens with Mimic Graphics

Controlled by instructors through a standard 2D computer interface, this immersive tool allows for real-time scenario orchestration, enhancing the learning experience by enabling engineers to address and adapt to real-world engine resource management challenges in a safe setting.

VECR Purpose & Design

Developed to enhance the training of maritime engineers, VECR increases proficiency in managing and controlling a ship's vital systems.

The platform’s flexible design supports customisable, instructor-led sessions that allow engineers to practise and perfect their skills in realistic scenarios designed to improve:

1

Real-Time Problem Solving

Swift and efficient reactions to alarms and system changes.

2

Decision-Making Under Pressure

Confidence building in high-stress situations through immersive training.

Features

Real-Time Interaction

Carefully designed to permit ease of use to accommodate all levels of digital competence.

Comprehensive Simulation

Mimic graphics on computer screens provide a realistic representation of engine room equipment, enhancing both learning and operational familiarity.

Instructor-Led Control

Experienced instructors guide training sessions, focusing on critical response strategies actions and decision-making in high-pressure environments.

Benefits of VECR

Cost Efficient

VECR significantly reduces travel, accommodation, and operational costs, making training economical and comprehensive.

Enhanced Engagement

Trainees are deeply immersed in a virtually replicated engine control room, making learning intuitive, scalable, relevant and and memorable.

Safety in Training

VECR offers a risk-free environment where trainees can learn from errors without real-world consequences.

Global Access

Global access point for training for geographically dispersed teams.

Oversight

Provides oversight of individual and team capability in real time situations.
