Abstract

This paper has suggested the necessity of introducing training contents using XR(Extended reality) technology as a way to lower the high rate of nursing accidents among unskilled technical personnel in domestic shipbuilding industry, focusing on cable pulling using winch. The occurrence rate of nursing accidents in the domestic shipbuilding industry was almost double(197.4%) (2017~2020) when compared with other manufacturing industries. In particular, it is worth noting that more than 31.8% of nursing accidents in the shipbuilding industry occurred among workers whose job experience is no more than 6 months. Most of new workers are seen to have hard time due to several factors such as lack of work information, inexperience, and unfamiliarity with the working environments. This indicates that it is essential to incorporate more effective training method that could help new workers become familiar with technical skills as well as working environments in a short period of time. Currently, education/training at the domestic shipyard is biased toward technical skills such as welding, painting, machine installation, and electrical installation. Contrary, even more important training required to get new workers used to the working environment has remained at a superficial level such as explaining ship building processes using 2D drawings. This may be the reason why it is inevitable to repeat similar training at OJT (On-the-Job Training) even at the leading domestic companies. Domestic shipbuilding industries have been attracting a lot of new workers thanks to recent economic recovery, which is very likely to increase the occurrence of disasters. In this paper, the introduction of training using XR technology was proposed, and as a specific example, the process of pulling cables using winches on ships was implemented as XR-based training content by using Unity. Using the developed content, it demonstrated that new workers can experience the actual work process in advance through simulation in a virtual space, thereby becoming more effective training content that can help new workers become familiar with the work environment.

본 논문은 국내 조선산업의 요양 재해 현황에 나타난 미숙련 기술인력들의 높은 재해 발생률을 낮추기 위한 방안으로 XR(Extended reality) 기술을 활용한 훈련 콘텐츠 도입의 필요성을 윈치를 활용한 케이블 포설을 중심으로 제시하였다. 국내 조선산업의 요양재해율은 타 제조업에 비해 평균 97.4%(2017~2020)나 높았으며, 특히 조선산업요양 재해의 31.8% 이상이 근속 기간 6개월 미만의 근로자들에게 발생하여 이는 신규입사자들이 업무에 대한 정보 부족과 미숙련도 및 작업환경에 익숙하지 못한 것이 그 원인으로 보인다. 최근 조선산업은 경기 회복으로 많은 신규인력이 유입되고 있으며, 이로 인해 재해 발생률이 높아질 가능성이 있다. 이런 점은 단기간에 신규인력들을 작업환경에 익숙해지는 데 도움이 되는 훈련방법을 도입할 필요가 있음을 말해준다. 국내 조선소의 교육훈련은 용접, 도장, 기계설치, 전기설치 등 특정 기술의 숙련에 치우쳐 있으며 작업환경에 익숙해질 수 있는 훈련은 작업용 2D 도면을 이용하여 선박 건조방법 등을 설명하는 단편적인 교육에 머무르고 있다. 이러한 이유로 현장에서는 다시 OJT(On-the-Job Traning)를 반복 실시하고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 XR 기술을 활용한 훈련의 도입을 제안하고 구체적인 예로 Unity로 선박에서 윈치를 활용한 케이블 포설(Pulling) 작업 과정을 XR 기반 훈련 콘텐츠로 구현하였다. 개발된 콘텐츠를 활용하면 신규작업자들이 가상공간에서 시뮬레이션을 통해 실제 작업 과정을 미리 경험하고, 이를 통해 신규인력이 작업환경에 익숙해지는 데 도움을 줄 수 있는 보다 효과적인 훈련 콘텐츠가 될 수 있음을 예증하였다.
