Case Study: Somero Enterprises scales nationwide VR training and cuts costs with ArborXR

Somero Enterprises scales VR training nationwide and cuts costs with ArborXR

Somero Enterprises, a manufacturer of laser-guided heavy construction equipment, faced the challenge of scaling its nationwide training program while mitigating the high risks and costs associated with training operators on real, 10-ton machines. They partnered with ArborXR to implement a VR training solution using its device management platform to deploy and control content on consumer headsets, aiming to provide safe, repeatable practice for high-stakes scenarios.

Using ArborXR's MDM solution, Somero deployed VR training modules developed by ForgeFX onto Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro headsets. This allowed trainees to practice in a risk-free virtual environment, which led to improved safety, deeper learning, and a reduction in training materials used. ArborXR provided the crucial device management and content controls that enabled Somero to scale its program effectively, with plans to expand VR training to more classes.
