摘要

With the widespread adoption of virtual reality (VR) in diverse industries and the remarkable achievements it has yielded, the integration of VR systems into production and manufacturing processes stands as an inexorable trend. However, there exists a conspicuous lack of evidence linking an operator’s behavior in immersive environments to their conduct in real manufacturing scenarios. Consequently, the evaluation of VR’s efficacy becomes imperative. In light of this, the present paper is dedicated to elucidating the methodology to gauge the variance in operator behavior between the immersive workstation and the real workstation during the design process. Hence, to appraise the efficacy of VR, this paper is dedicated to elucidating the methodology for quantifying differences in operator behavior between the immersive and real workstations during the design process. The contribution of this paper lies in its proposition of an experimental design methodology, expounding comprehensively on the logical soundness of the proposal. The projected outcomes of the experiments, alongside potential biases that may arise, are estimated through this approach. In addition, we integrate this methodology into the productivity assessment of assembly workstation. The impact of multiple factors is measured and analyzed. As a result, this research stands poised not only to assess VR’s effectiveness in manufacturing but also to establish a benchmark for evaluating operator behavior within virtual environments.
