Impacts of the inclusion of Virtual Reality in the Jeweler Manufacturing Process Based on the BIM Concept (Building Information Modeling)

Abstract

The results of the inclusion of Virtual Reality in the production line of an Industry Joalheira in the state of Bahia, a case study which was conducted in the elevenmonth period by a Startup consisting of two professional Designers and one Information Technology, between the years of 2008 and 2009. The production flow of this jewelery factory was losses due to continuous communication difficulties. due to the lack of tools to represent and generate simulations of the new products requested in the preproduction (or product design). For driving the research, we observed the impacts of incremental inclusion techniques from simple designs to of virtual reality applications through interventions in the workflow of the Plant, in the provision that "... in the applications of virtual reality, the realization of the imaginary is also importance in view of the difficulties encountered in communicate concepts and ideas.
