Abstract

This article presents the development of a training system in a virtual environment, a pasteurization plant, which allows interaction with the industrial process. The environment has structures, equipment and other instrumentation that is presented in a real pasteurizer plant. Thus, the proposed system manages textures and movements in a Unity 3D graphic environment, specially designed to develop monitoring and manipulation skills of this industrial process. The interface and the animation of the process are developed in Unity 3D software, together with the modeling of all the elements; in CAD design software. The experimental tests allow the operator to interact with the virtual environment and have knowledge of the different stages of pasteurization in the dairy industry.
