20+ executives joined our meeting with Volvo's Head of XR during our weekly online sessions.
The meeting began an overview of Johan’s role and the company's integration of XR and 3D technologies. He discussed challenges in generating lightweight 3D models for various applications, particularly managing around 7,000 product variants, and highlighted the effective use of XR for technician training despite concerns about device accessibility and communication awkwardness. Johan also addressed enterprise training deployment challenges, including network isolation and security issues, emphasizing the need for robust IT infrastructure. The conversation shifted to the role of model-based systems engineering in XR/VR deployment, with discussions on data management challenges and the formation of the Applied AI Association. Participants noted the increasing presence of note takers and AI in meetings, and concerns were raised about siloed digital assets and the lack of integration in manufacturing processes. The meeting concluded with suggestions for further collaboration.
