On October 13–14, 2016, the Risk Engineering Days conference, an initiative of PZU, took place in Sopot. The event placed strong emphasis on innovations in the Polish industrial sector and the importance of effective risk and safety management. It quickly became a platform where different worlds met: business, science, and public administration.

At the Sheraton Hotel, representatives of leading enterprises, major industrial plants, scientific institutions, and state agencies gathered to exchange knowledge and ideas. Throughout the two days, the participants discussed not only innovation but also the growing importance of safety in a rapidly changing industrial environment. Furthermore, the invited speakers introduced practical directions and strategies that companies can follow to face modern challenges and to minimize new threats. Thanks to this combination of perspectives, the event fostered dialogue and encouraged participants to look at safety as a foundation for industrial progress.

Among the keynote lecturers was AppsBow’s CEO, Sebastian Zieliński. He presented a lecture devoted to innovation in safety for industrial plants. In particular, he explained how the introduction of virtual reality (VR) into industrial training could significantly improve safety levels, reduce risks, and generate additional operational benefits. His talk attracted a great deal of attention. As a result, many participants visited the AppsBow booth, where they had the opportunity to test the vReact solution themselves and experience sample training scenarios. The practical demonstrations showed how immersive technologies can support real-world operations and left a strong impression on attendees.

vReact is advanced software created for training field operators who work with industrial plants, machinery, or equipment. It recreates industrial facilities and objects with 1:1 accuracy in a fully interactive 3D environment. Consequently, employees can practice routine procedures under safe conditions and also rehearse emergency events through vReact Emergency. This possibility is especially valuable, since emergencies are almost impossible to simulate in the real world. Beyond safety, the solution brings additional benefits such as reduced training costs and unrestricted availability. Therefore, vReact represents a new standard for preparing industrial employees, combining realism, efficiency, and measurable improvements in workplace safety.
