Introducing the world's first PC-based Forwarder Simulator for your PC!
Finally, operator training help that doesn't put your production equipment, and people, at risk. Training that is completely safe, always available, and costs so little. Training that emphasizes best practices from the get-go.
Just set up the simulator controls (see below for details) and then install the simulation software (in English or French). Most any desktop or laptop PC will do. Then add a projector or big screen display for "life size" graphics, and quality speakers for the audio feedback. The fact is, there's a setup option to suit most every budget!
Simulation Software
The simulation software for Simlog's Forwarder Personal Simulator puts you at the controls of a typical forwarder equipped with an articulated boom, telescoping extension, and free-swinging grapple attachment.
The Instructional Design breaks down the operator's work into a series of "Simulation Modules" of increasing difficulty to introduce the key parts of the real work, one step at a time. For each Simulation Module, key "Performance Indicators" measure how quickly and how carefully the simulated work is performed. For example, two productivity measures are the time taken to load and unload logs. Some quality measures are errors in log positioning and orientation, and the number of collisions between the grapple and the forwarder cradle (and pickets).
To learn more, please refer to the software details and sample images.
Pricing
The price of the commercial software license for Simlog's Forwarder Personal Simulator is just USD$3,500. International visitors may wish to use our currency converter to convert $USD pricing into another currency.
This is a one time fee, and there are no restrictions on the number of people that you can train with Simlog's help. When you consider that even small accidents due to inexperience can cost thousands of dollars in replacement parts and downtime, this is good value indeed, not to mention the improved training safety!
Simulator Controls
Three kinds of simulator controls may be used:
Free Software Evaluation
At Simlog, we believe that "seeing is believing" so we offer a free Evaluation Mode for our simulation software. In Evaluation Mode, you can review all of the simulator functionality but there are just a few simulation exercises and they are time-limited. And since simulation results cannot be saved in Evaluation Mode, we provide sample simulation results as part of the complete on-line documentation. To learn more, please refer to the additional details about product evaluation.
Purchase your Software license
Purchasing your software license is easy, because there is nothing more to install (after the free software evaluation). Simlog will simply generate a License Key (a series of numbers and letters) for you to enter at the Simlog Start-up Window. (The License Key is based on the PC-specific, and product-specific, "License Code" that you will provide to Simlog.) You will discover that in Commercial Mode, all of the Personal Simulator's functionality becomes available, including hundreds and hundreds of pre-defined simulation exercises and the ability to save simulation results.
