MOTIVATE XR<\/h2><\/div>[vc_column_text]MOTIVATE XR aims to create a world-leading XR collaborative authoring, publishing, and experiencing tool suited for industrial operations, including assembly, manufacturing, maintenance, and dismantlement.[\/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion active_section=”” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Learn more” tab_id=”1747915466657-3a261161-7c74″][vc_column_text]The solution will be open, tightly integrated, and highly interoperable, offering an end-to-end solution for users without programming skills. It will use portable 3D scanning, digital twin modelling, No-Code authoring approaches, and advanced AI. The project will evaluate its results in five pilots across different industrial sectors, involving top European experts and industry leaders to ensure the ethical use of XR and AI technologies.\r\n\r\nOur pilot aims to develop an AI-driven XR remote assembly assistance system.<\/strong> This innovative solution will provide an immersive and interactive training experience, enabling users to master the vast array of architectural aluminium system designs. Imagine a system where AI guides you step-by-step through complex assemblies, instantly identifying errors and proposing countermeasures. It will also monitor safety in the work environment, minimising risks. With MOTIVATE XR, we’ll be able to scale our training efforts, reaching fabricators globally and ensuring consistently high-quality installations. We will be able to provide the knowledge needed for the people who need it, no matter where they are.\r\n\r\nBy leveraging the power of XR and AI, we’re not just training fabricators; we’re empowering them to build a more sustainable and efficient future.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”7302″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” el_class=”pretty-list”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”7322″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″]

INSIDE-CoVE<\/h2><\/div>[vc_column_text]INSIDE-CoVE presents a network of Centres of Vocational Excellence in six European countries, focusing on the development of skills in the construction industry.

The inclusion layer focuses on promoting the welfare of the construction workforce, drawing in social groups like youth and women. The project aims to develop Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) skills at various levels and reach a wide range of learners through an innovative Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), the i-LMS platform. <\/strong>\r\n\r\nOur role, as the project Coordinator<\/strong> and the core partner of the Greek CoVE, is to link the aluminium value chain in Greece and internationally. We aim to elevate the skills of architectural aluminium system professionals across Europe, ensuring sustainable and high-quality construction practices by bridging academic knowledge with real industry needs. <\/strong>\r\n\r\nWith the collaboration of 26 partners from six European countries over the next four years, we expect to contribute to empowering a more diverse and highly competent workforce and fostering regional development and innovation within the construction sector.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Follow INSIDE-CoVE on Social Media” tab_id=”1750942178263-547eead3-634b”][vc_column_text]\u0399\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03c3\u03b5\u03bb\u03af\u03b4\u03b1<\/a> | YouTube<\/a> |\u00a0Facebook<\/a> |\u00a0Instagram<\/a> |\u00a0LinkedIn\u00a0<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=”background_center” css=”.vc_custom_1710845042516{background-image: url(https:\/\/aluminiumacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/aaa_logo-04-copy.webp?id=255) !important;background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;}”][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” el_class=”width1500″ css=”.vc_custom_1710844820961{margin-bottom: 5rem !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”pretty-list”]

    \r\n \t
  1. Specification phase (duration 3 months): AAA, along with D-Cube, will build\/fine-tune the application concept, perform additional development\/customisation to utilise the XR2Learn technology, prepare a detailed pilot specification deliverable and a tech-business presentation.<\/li>\r\n \t
  2. Execution phase (duration 7 months): We will be performing a pilot execution with real end users and validating the developed application. Delivery of open-source versions of tools and\/or applications (under proper license) will also be favoured.<\/li>\r\n \t
  3. Growth phase (duration 2 months): We will realise activities associated with replication analysis, promotion and exploitation of their project, aiming to engage new customers and\/or partners and\/or investors.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”7341″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” el_class=”pretty-list”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”7343″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″]
