VR Training and Digital Twins for Industrial – Raw Materials

Project: C-MineTech – Immersive VR Training for Raw Materials & Circular Economy.
Programme: EIT RawMaterials (European Commission).
Role: Immersive Technology Partner – VR Development, Digital Twins & Interactive Industrial Simulations.
Year: 2025-2026

Project Overview

C-MineTech is a European training initiative funded by EIT RawMaterials of the European Commission. The project is implemented across Romania, Italy, and Greece and focuses on developing advanced digital training tools for the recycling & reuse of raw materials in the automotive sector.

The objective:
Fourthedesign participates as the immersive technology partner, responsible for the development of the VR and Digital Twin training ecosystem.

Fourthedesign’s Role

Fourthedesign designs and develops the immersive digital layer of the C-MineTech platform.

Our contribution includes:

• Real-time VR training environments
• Interactive industrial simulations
• Digital Twin visualization systems
• Scenario-based learning architecture
• UI overlays and contextual information layers

C-MineTech proves that industrial VR training and digital twins can transform how the raw materials sector builds skills for a sustainable, circular future.

Immersive VR Training Environments

At the core of C-MineTech are interactive VR scenarios simulating:

• Automotive dismantling processes
• Material sorting workflows
• Recovery optimization procedures
• Industrial safety zones

Users navigate freely inside a virtual dismantling facility and interact with tools, machinery, and components.

Training becomes experiential. Safe. Repeatable. Realistic.

Digital Twins of Industrial Workflows

Each training module is supported by Digital Twin representations of real industrial processes.

These twins visualize:

• Material flow logic
• Recovery efficiency rates
• Environmental impact indicators
• Operational performance metrics

Users can see how decisions affect sustainability outcomes in real time.
