Enexis is all about energy transition.
An energy transition is driving change.
For a better environment...
...and driving change for a whole community.
And with that,
we need to embrace technology.
Collaborating with our partners
like Microsoft and Recreate in order to drive this change...
...and make a better world.
Enexis is a Dutch utility provider.
We are on a mission to drive the national energy transition
with our safe and efficient energy network.
To do that, we are investing over 1 billion...
...into expanding our grid capacity,
updating our existing network and more.
When you carry out huge tasks like these,
you need to make sure...
...that you've got the right people
and the right skills to make them happen.
And for us, that is a big challenge.
We have an aging workforce that will retire soon,
but also a new generation...
...of workers that we need to train
and prepare for future demands.
So training them in a fast, efficient and safe
manner is absolutely essential.
And innovation helps us do that.
To help Enexis address their skilling needs.
We at Recreate developed a training solution
powered by HoloLens 2 and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Guides.
The idea behind it is to allow trainees to learn skills...
...and complex task in the most practical way possible.
To do that, they can simply put a HoloLens on...
...and follow the 3D training materials
that their mentors have recorded for them.
All hands free.
Supervision time is down by 25%...
...so our mentors can use this time for students
who need more attention and education.
On the other hand, students are
learning 40% faster than in traditional ways.
Not only will they have more fun mastering these skills,
but they're also finding them much easier to learn in the first place.
We recently saw a 15 year old intern
who had never worked on a specific installation before...
...managing to perform a highly complex
maintenance task without any assistance.
At the same time, we have a student with dyslexia
who told us that this is a game changer for them...
...and they finally found an education that suits them.
Using the HoloLens has showed us how
digital technologies can assist us...
...in building the energy sector of the future.
We're very conservative and careful with improvements.
That makes it difficult for a company to innovate,
and digital innovations are something we don't really know.
So we needed a product where we can show that it
can deliver in a setting where safety is very important.
Now that we've seen just how powerful HoloLens
can be in driving innovation...
...we can look at the next steps...
...like the opportunities inside
the industrial metaverse, for example.
We could call it the Enexaverse and make it the place
where the physical and the digital come together...
...to help us work in a smarter and more efficient way.
We believe that in ten years time
we will be able to collect...
...real-time data from anywhere
at any time using mixed reality.
This will allow us to carry out
risk simulations on digital twins...
...make better predictions with AI and IoT, and much more.
With Enexis, the energy transition
is all about energy and transition.
Keeping energy in this transition.
The transition is going to take 20, 30 years.
You never know what's going to come.
What we do know is what is the next step.
So we started with the HoloLens.
We've got a great success with our customers
and with all our employees, and we'll take it from there.
So we just need to embrace and collaborate
with our partners, improving our lives...
...and improving the lives of our customers.
