IRVINE, CA, March 27, 2019 – EON Reality Inc., the world leader in Augmented and Virtual Reality-based knowledge transfer for industry and education, and Toyota Material Handling, the world leader of material-handling solutions, today announce the establishment of the partnership to bring Augmented and Virtual Reality (EON-XR) technology for both training purposes and to support Toyota’s Customer Lean Transformation.
The pairing will combine EON Reality’s flagship EON-XR Platform with the Toyota Production System, a methodology developed by Toyota to maximize efficiency in production. The first collaboration is dedicated to 5S training, but the companies’ shared vision of Industry 4.0 will allow high-end EON-XR solutions to be used for training, sales, and maintenance purposes.
At this month’s EON Experience Fest 2019 in Bologna, Italy, EON Reality and Toyota Material Handling Italia will demonstrate the first beta product and better outline the partnership’s ultimate goals. Early EON-XR training modules will focus on forklift operators and drivers before moving into areas such as Toyota’s automated warehouses. The two companies will then work together in joint workshops to decide how to best accelerate the use of EON-XR technology in Toyota’s portion of the industrial sector.
