Japan Freight Railway Company (JR Freight) has introduced a safety education system that utilizes VR at over 100 freight stations across the country, aiming to improve the quality of safety education and optimize the understanding of trainees’ proficiency levels.
Previous group training and video viewing methods made it difficult to fully understand the realism and dangers of actual work sites. Furthermore, there were issues with variations in teaching methods depending on the instructor, and it was difficult to accurately grasp the progress of trainees. To solve these issues, the company decided to introduce a VR learning system that allows it to create and distribute teaching materials in-house.
The system utilizes Business Engineering Co., Ltd.’s VR learning system, “mcframe MOTION VR-learning.” “mcframe MOTION VR-learning” is a tool that allows users to create and distribute VR learning materials based on footage captured with a 360-degree camera. Since its release in 2017, it has been adopted by over 100 companies, including manufacturing and educational institutions. Because it covers a wide variety of business processes, user companies can develop their own learning materials in-house. Learning materials are distributed via PCs, tablets, and VR goggles. Administrators can monitor learning status online on a dedicated screen.

JR Freight aims to provide employees with a simulated experience of unfamiliar tasks through a combination of video and questions, fostering the ability to think and make decisions independently. As of November 2025, four teaching materials have already been completed. Two more will be produced by the end of March 2026, with more to be added periodically thereafter. Sharing the perspectives of veterans across the company will help prevent accidents within stations.
