In an industry where precision is vital and mistakes come at a high price, advancing training methodologies is not just a luxury, but a necessity. Recognizing the potential to curb error rates and streamline the learning curve for production engineers, Cemex, a titan in the cement production and construction materials sector, has pioneered a transformative approach to training with its VR Training Program for Cement Production.
The VR training program was meticulously crafted by PNX Labs, with the ambitious goal of honing the skills of over 4,000 engineers responsible for cement production at Cemex. Embarking on this initiative in December 2022, it was conceived to be a comprehensive training approach, encompassing a broad spectrum of crucial areas in cement production, from mixture preparation to the final stages of packaging.

One such Tier 1 manufacturer leading the charge in innovation is Metalsa Mexico. Recognizing a significant challenge in their production process, Metalsa sought to address the issue of scrap metal accumulation in their die tools. The solution? A collaboration with PNX Labs to develop a revolutionary die tool scrap simulation.
In any manufacturing setting, waste can be both a financial drain and a hindrance to production efficiency. Metalsa's unique issue lay in the die tools, a fundamental component in the manufacturing process. Over time, scrap metal builds up in these tools, potentially causing operational hiccups, downtimes, and even damages.
Existing processes and solutions in the market fell short of addressing this issue comprehensively. While general simulations and predictive analyses are available, none could accurately foretell the buildup of scrap metal within the confines of the die tools. This lack of precision not only hindered preventative measures but also led to substantial financial losses.
