The challenge

What holds manufacturing operations back

Nigerian manufacturers are expanding capacity while managing high staff turnover, imported equipment with limited vendor support, and rising expectations from regulators and customers. OakAssist helps plants capture what they already have, plan what comes next, and train operators consistently — so new lines start faster and production knowledge stays in the business.

  1. 01

    Line changes planned without reliable layouts

    Factory floors evolve faster than drawings. Installing new equipment or reconfiguring a line becomes slow when space, services, and access have to be re-measured first.

  2. 02

    Long, inconsistent operator onboarding

    Shadowing on live lines ties up experienced staff, slows production, and produces different results depending on who did the training.

  3. 03

    Knowledge locked in a few experienced people

    When a senior technician leaves, critical know-how about changeovers, troubleshooting, and maintenance often leaves with them.

  4. 04

    Safety and quality records under scrutiny

    Factory inspections, standards certification, and customer audits require proof that people were trained on the procedures they perform.

How OakAssist helps

Two solutions, one operating picture

Digital assets give your teams an accurate view of the facility. Training-as-a-Service prepares your people to work in it safely and keeps the evidence current. Use either on its own, or combine them so training is built from your real site data.

01 Know your facility

Digital Assets

A measured digital baseline of the plant supports expansion, maintenance, and layout decisions.

  • Plant and line digital twins

    Capture production halls, utilities, and equipment so engineering teams can plan new lines, relocations, and expansions against accurate geometry.

  • Equipment and maintenance reference

    Link maintenance information to a 3D view of the asset, helping technicians locate components and plan interventions before stopping a line.

  • Change tracking across the site

    Scheduled updates keep the model aligned as equipment is added or moved, so the baseline stays useful long after the first capture.

02 Prepare your people

Training-as-a-Service (TaaS)

Training-as-a-Service gives every operator the same high standard of preparation, on demand.

  • Virtual operation and changeover practice

    Operators learn start-up, changeover, and shutdown sequences in VR before touching the live line, protecting output while they build confidence.

  • AR maintenance guidance

    Step-by-step AR guides capture expert knowledge so technicians can follow consistent procedures on complex or imported equipment.

  • Competency dashboards per role

    Supervisors see who is certified for which equipment and when refreshers are due, supporting safer staffing decisions and audit evidence.

From site data to site-ready teams

Combine both solutions to turn your facility's digital twin into a training environment. Teams practise in a place they recognise, before they work in it.
