As part of its drive to continue to bring innovative technology solutions to the food industry, TNA Solutions has launched an immersive, interactive digital service, the tna intelli-assist™. This new service aims to deliver high-impact projects with minimal risks—all while staying on budget.
Whether replacing or integrating capital equipment into an existing line or designing a brand-new facility, the launch marks the first time that a fully integrated extended reality (XR) solution has been available to food manufacturers as part of TNA’s evolution to Industry 5.0 solutions. This innovation underscores TNA’s commitment to fostering personalized partnerships, ensuring collaboration and support at every project stage.
Advanced Digital Twin Technology for Optimal Manufacturing Design
The tna intelli-assist™ leverages XR and simulation technologies to enable teams to create digital twins of their manufacturing sites, including equipment, utilities, and buildings. This allows users to demonstrate how new additions can best fit into their setup with minimal disruption and optimal designs.
Food manufacturers can use the tool to visualize their plant floor, virtually replace systems, and validate manufacturing plans and installations in a low-risk environment. Visualizing potential spatial conflicts and utility interferences ensures optimal clash prevention.
Seamless Collaboration Through Virtual and Desktop Platforms
To enhance collaboration, tna intelli-assist™ integrates remote meetings into the virtual environment using virtual reality (VR) headsets or through a desktop application. Multiple people can seamlessly join the plant simulation via their preferred medium to preview the project and directly interact with the digital twin, making the process of stakeholder buy-in and troubleshooting more efficient.
Embracing Industry 5.0 with Human-Centric XR Solutions
“Much of food manufacturing has readily adopted Industry 4.0 technologies due to the efficiency, productivity, and repeatability benefits they offer,” explained Natasha Avelange, Global Extended Reality Manager at TNA Solutions. “Building on this with XR allows the human element of food manufacturing to be enhanced, with creativity, productivity, and problem-solving brought together without barriers. This is the essence of Industry 5.0.”
“Food production is an area where there is a continuous drive towards higher output, greater efficiency, and continuous uptime. That’s why it’s so important that equipment upgrades or introductions are well-planned and delivered as efficiently as possible. With tna intelli-assist, we’ve innovated a way to significantly shorten project planning time and improve accuracy, enabling teams to get integration right the first time.”
Leadership Highlights the Future of VR in Project Management
Commenting on the launch, Thiago Roriz, Chief Operating Officer, TNA Solutions said: “As a forward-thinking company committed to innovation, we are proud to integrate Industry 5.0 technologies, particularly in VR, into our project management process. By harnessing the power of VR, we are not only enhancing operational efficiency but also empowering our teams to collaborate more effectively, train in immersive environments, and optimize production in real time.
“These advancements directly translate into a more responsive and agile approach to customer needs, allowing us to deliver tailored solutions faster and more effectively. This step marks a significant evolution in how we integrate cutting-edge technology with human-centered design, ensuring that it serves not only operational goals but also drives customer satisfaction.
“With Industry 5.0, we are ushering in a new era, one that balances advanced automation with the ingenuity of the human touch.”
