SCMEP worked with SimInsights to solve a major production training challenge using Virtual Reality with one of our clients in South Carolina. California based SimInsights went the extra mile to deliver an impressive solution. Our client was blown away and their employees love the Virtual Reality training. It took nine weeks to train a new employee with on-machine training. The new Virtual Reality training can train them in 15 days and saving the company millions. SimInsights is one awesome company!!
