VR in pharma for safer, compliant training across labs and production

Pharma and life sciences organizations operate in highly regulated environments where safety, quality, and compliance are critical. Through immersive 3D and XR, SynergyXR enables VR in pharma for training, onboarding, and operational support – before entering GMP environments.

The hidden gaps in pharma and traditional life sciences training

Traditional training in pharma often relies on classroom sessions, static SOPs, and documentation-heavy processes. While necessary for compliance, these formats rarely prepare employees for the complexity of real GMP workflows – where errors are costly and can impact product quality, compliance, and operations.

At the same time, hands-on training in cleanrooms and production areas is limited by access restrictions, contamination risks, and tight production schedules.As experienced specialists leave, critical knowledge is easily lost. VR in pharma helps close these gaps by providing realistic, hands-on learning in a safe virtual environment – improving readiness, consistency, and compliance without impacting live operations.

SynergyXR makes it easier to develop, maintain, and scale high-quality VR training across Novo Nordisk.

How SynergyXR supports pharma and life sciences teams

SynergyXR is a no-code, cloud-based XR platform built for highly regulated industries. It supports immersive training and operational guidance for pharma and biotech teams working in cleanrooms, QC labs, production suites, and technical support areas.

With SynergyXR, organizations can:

  • Improve safety and contamination control through virtual practice
  • Standardize SOP-driven procedures across sites and regions
  • Accelerate onboarding while reducing errors in critical processes

By turning complex workflows into interactive 3D experiences, VR in pharma becomes a scalable way to build skills, confidence, and consistency across teams and locations.

VR in pharma that prepares people before they enter GMP areas

With SynergyXR, pharma and biotech teams can train in realistic 3D representations of cleanrooms, labs, and production environments before accessing regulated areas. VR in pharma supports early-stage learning by preparing employees for regulated workflows before they step into live GMP settings.

At the execution level, virtual reality in pharma solutions allow teams to practice gowning, hygiene rules, line clearance, changeovers, and standard workflows in a safe, controlled environment. Training can be repeated without occupying real facilities or equipment, resulting in faster onboarding and more consistent compliance.

Virtual reality pharma for equipment, processes and deviations

Beyond onboarding, SynergyXR supports immersive training for equipment operation and process understanding in regulated pharma environments. Teams can train on equipment setup, CIP/SIP procedures, batch changeovers, sampling, and maintenance workflows in realistic 3D-scenarios –  without impacting live production or product quality.

In addition, virtual reality in pharma enables teams to walk through deviation scenarios and CAPA processes in a controlled virtual environment.This makes it possible to explore “what-if” situations, understand root causes, and practice correct responses. By turning abstract SOPs into practical, hands-on experiences, teams reduce handling errors, improve decision-making, and strengthen quality culture across sites.

A no-code 3D platform built for regulated life sciences

SynergyXR is designed to meet the requirements of regulated life sciences organizations. The platform is enterprise-grade, cloud-based, and built with governance, security, and scalability in mind – supporting controlled access, versioning, and audit-ready workflows.

As a no-code platform, it enables subject-matter experts, QA, and training teams to build and update training content themselves as procedures evolve, without relying on external developers. SynergyXR supports multiple devices, including VR headsets, tablets, and laptops, making it suitable for training, review, and remote sessions. From a pilot at a single site to global deployment across plants and regions, the platform scales with organizational needs.

3D environments that mirror labs and pharma production

SynergyXR provides pre-built industrial and neutral environments that can be adapted to pharmaceutical laboratories and production areas. These environments help visualize typical pharma layouts and workflows without starting from scratch.

The platform also supports importing existing 3D or CAD models of equipment, rooms, and production lines. With intuitive tools for positioning and scaling assets, teams can quickly build SOP-driven scenarios that reflect real operational setups. Centralized content management ensures training materials used in virtual reality pharma remain consistent and up to date as processes change.

What we’ve learned from other highly regulated industries

SynergyXR supports organizations operating in highly regulated, process-driven industries where safety, quality, and compliance are critical. One example is Bosch, which uses SynergyXR’s immersive 3D and XR to support training and knowledge transfer in complex industrial environments with strict quality and process requirements.

In settings like these, XR has proven effective for preparing employees for real-world procedures, standardizing workflows, and reducing errors in high-stakes operations. Similar principles apply across other regulated industries such as energy and advanced manufacturing, where procedures must be executed consistently and documented accurately.

These experiences translate directly to VR in pharma, where regulated processes, audit readiness, and operational precision are essential.

Proven 3D training results from complex, safety-critical operations

SynergyXR is trusted by organizations operating in complex, safety-critical environments across multiple industries. Immersive 3D training helps standardize procedures, improve safety, and support consistent performance in demanding operations.
