VANTEC EUROPE LIMITED

We were delighted to have played a small part in sponsoring this fantastic Music Against Child Poverty event, raising much needed funds for an excellent charity Love, Amelia. And helping to ensure many children in the city are able to enjoy their Christmas who wouldn't have normally received any gifts.

STUDENTS TO BENEFIT FROM STATE-OF-THE-ART VANTEC INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE IMMERSIVE SUITES Vantec have recently partnered with East Durham College to deliver two Vantec Interactive Experience (VIE) Immersive classrooms at its campuses at Peterlee and Houghall, County Durham. VIE uses gamification and the latest in 3D, immersive and simulation technology, to provide unique and intuitive training solutions, replicating real-life environments and scenarios. Martin Kendall, Managing Director of Vantec Europe Limited (VEU), said: "We’re delighted to be working with East Durham College to deliver two immersive suites that will enhance the educational experience of learners. "Students will benefit from hands-on experiences in scenarios that mirror real-life situations, helping develop critical thinking, problem-solving and decision-making skills, and promoting a deeper understanding; all of which help to prepare students for the world of work." Any scenario can be repeated as many times as a student requires in order to master the skill or learning objective – this eliminates the fear of making a mistake and creates a safe learning experience. Staff will benefit too as the room will also be utilised for staff training. Martin added: “We know from our own digitally immersive training, that we have developed, how much more engaged our employees are and how much more they get from the training. The immersive classrooms provide additional learning environments where students studying a range of programmes, including T Level and vocational subjects, can learn in interactive and realistic environments. The immersive suites use state-of-the-art 360-degree and 270-degree interactive technology to provide multi-sensory learning. Students can step into a virtual environment, where every detail is fully replicated to provide multi-sensory and safe tuition. This method can be more effective than a traditional classroom environment, in both engagement and information retention. Jackie Lanagan, Assistant Principal at East Durham College, said: "We are thrilled to be working with Vantec, their product offered something unique that we felt our students and staff would benefit from.  "Vantec being a local supplier was also an advantage, sustainability is important to us and our students and choosing a local firm has helped reduce our carbon footprint, delivery time and costs. "We are extremely impressed with the software used to support the immersive rooms, it is so intuitive, that teachers can produce content very easily. "I’m sure they will have a transformative effect on the students who get to learn in the new suites. I can’t wait to see the impact they have."

Following an invite and support from Newcastle University our colleagues Chris Bain (MILT) and Micky Kelly attended the DARe National Hub - TransiT Digital Twinning for Transport Decarbonisation - ENSIGN event after being invited by looking at the #electrification of #freight. Chris was a guest speaker and panel member and spoke about the challenges and considerations facing the automotive industry; specifically, JIT Operations when considering electromotility. Panel discussions focussed on the requirements of infrastructure, supply chains and a level playing field to accelerate commercialisation opportunities in the industry. #ThrowbackThursday

Our MD, Martin Kendall joined the Autonomy - transforming logistics panel today at Logistics UK #DTiL24, where he’s been speaking on the skills needed for the sector and autonomous logistics. The future of logistics lies in harnessing the power of autonomy while simultaneously addressing workforce challenges through education, paving the way for a more efficient, innovative, and capable logistics sector.

Last week we had an excellent time, at the #NEAutoExpo 2024, where we showcased VIE (Vantec Interactive Experience), V-CAL (autonomous logistics) partner project and our logistics and warehousing operations, as well as the external H&S and MHE training we provide. With more great connections made and positive conversations we have had, as well as meeting up with familiar faces.

Our head of Engineering, DX and IT, Ian Loughlin took part in the Digital Panel Discussion today at the #NEAutoExpo 2024. He said: “Key to Digital Transformation (DX) in the organisation is that it needs to be a Leadership decision, developing a Digital Strategy that is aligned to the Corporate Strategy & key KPIs. “Start small but keep it strategic, digital transformation should be started sooner (as in yesterday) rather than later, and it’s not as daunting as it is perceived to be.”
