TSC Equipment Explorer

Available on PC, AWS cloud deployments, VR headsets such as Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, and Android tablets, the Equipment Explorer can be delivered as a standalone product or integrated alongside TSC virtual plants, control room simulators, and classroom training systems.
 
Inspired by the accessibility and immersion of modern interactive learning tools, the Equipment Explorer allows users to inspect, manipulate, disassemble, and explore industrial equipment in ways that are impossible with traditional diagrams, PDFs, or classroom presentations. 

Key Features: 

• Detailed Industrial Models – Explore a growing library of process equipment including valves, pumps, vessels, heat exchangers, electrolysers, and distillation columns.
• Interactive Exploded Views – Separate assemblies into their individual components to clearly understand equipment construction, maintenance access, and internal layout.
• Dynamic Cutaways & Cross Sections – Slice equipment open in real-time to reveal internal mechanisms, flow paths, and moving parts while the equipment continues to operate.
• Component-Level Interaction – Select, manipulate, scale, rotate, and inspect individual components in isolation or within the full assembly context.
• Hierarchy & Information Labels – Learn the names, functions, and relationships of equipment components through contextual labels and structured component hierarchies.
• Immersive XR Support – Use Meta Quest or PICO headsets for fully immersive spatial learning experiences, allowing users to physically move around and interact with equipment at true scale.
• PC & Classroom Ready – Deploy as a standalone desktop application, classroom teaching aid, or as part of a wider digital learning ecosystem.
• Cloud Delivery via AWS – Deliver high-fidelity 3D training environments remotely without requiring specialist workstation hardware onsite.

• Learn How it’s Made – Understand how industrial equipment is constructed and assembled.
• See Internals – Visualise internal equipment operation that cannot normally be seen in the field.
• Understand Component Relationships – Identify the functional relationships of major and minor components.
• See the Differences – Compare different equipment types and understand their operational differences.
• Direct Real-World Examples – Improve recognition and familiarity with real-world plant equipment.
• Visualise Flows and Mechanical Movement – Develop a stronger understanding of process flow paths and mechanical movement.
• Disassemble – Support maintenance and operational awareness through equipment disassembly and inspection.
• Realistic Visualisation – Reinforce classroom and simulator-based learning using immersive visualisation.
