United States : QA Graphics Brings Employee Training to Life Through Animation [TendersInfo (India)](TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) In today s competitive business environment, organizations are consistently seeking ways to maximize their return on investment and streamline processes. Leading organizations understand that well-trained employees are the cornestone to their success. When a global agricultural company was seeking a short training video, they came to QA Graphics with a vision of an end product. QA Graphics turned that vision into a contemporary, 3D interactive and realistic e-learning tool that has the potential to transform the production process. The client initially wanted a short instructional video that showed the seed production process from harvest to delivery. Because of the client s contingent of seasonal employees, there often is a lack of understanding of the entire production process. Without a complete understanding of what happens when corn is picked, delivered, husked, conditioned and treated, for example, quality and productivity may be sacrificed. It can be difficult for employees to grasp the full capabilities of equipment or even how to fix a simple malfunction. Standard equipment and process manuals are often technical, one dimensional, and lack relevance when it comes to scale. Language and learning style variances also can influence overall results. QA Graphics knew that the key to better trained employees was to bring the processes to life through animation. QA Graphics worked closely with the client team to gain a thorough understanding of the production process. This included a facility tour, where photographs were captured that provided details about the equipment and overall plant layout. The client also invested in a 3D facility scan to obtain point cloud data of the exact layout and dimensions. Because a desired outcome of the training tool was a visual fly-through of the facility, the point cloud data helped QA Graphics to accurately and quickly model the corn receiving, conditioning and treatment facilities. Armed with diverse content, QA Graphics created a storyboard for the client to review. The storyboards included details of each scene, outlining what was occurring in the scene and the accompanying narrative. Once approved by the client, the storyboard served as a roadmap throughout the development of the video, which led to efficiencies in cost and production time. QA Graphics chose animation for the process in lieu of video footage. Animation offers flexibility by keeping the training process contemporary, and allowing for real-life equipment scaling and demonstrations of how equipment works. For example, if a component of the equipment needs to be replaced, an operator can go to a kiosk or computer and see firsthand how to replace the part. (c) 2014 Euclid Infotech Pvt. Ltd.
