We have also posted some
articles about Simlog and
simulator-based training in the construction industry.
An Operator Training School
"We have been using Simlog's
Hydraulic Excavator Personal Simulator and we are very, very impressed.
The simulator has joysticks programmed exactly the same as an excavator.
The programming is very lifelike. If a trainee orients the bucket
incorrectly or applies too much pressure the program will cause the
simulator to stall out, similar to an excavator under the same conditions.
"We can have trainees work for a couple hours at the simulator
without supervision. I don't want to have to sit and watch, which
generally makes a trainee quite uncomfortable. They have their own time
and space to develop their initial skills. Later on, I can access the
database and see exactly what each trainee has done and see exactly
where they are having difficulties. Then I can sit down with each trainee
individually, and address the problem areas and work on solutions to
move them forward."
"Later, when we put the trainee in the
seat of an excavator in the field, the simulator experience
makes a huge difference in their abilities and confidence,
and in their learning curve."

An Operator Training Consultant
"Our company's mission is to provide heavy equipment training services,
and production and safety enhancement programs, to mines and equipment
companies locally and world wide.
"After testing the evaluation version extensively,
we purchased Simlog's Hydraulic Excavator Personal Simulator
and created a portable system with an operator seat,
joystick controls, and digital projection video graphics.
We are very satisfied that this will become an excellent training tool for us.
It is the perfect no-risk way to learn to operate an excavator or backhoe."

A Distributor of Operator Training Materials
"Simlog's new Hydraulic Excavator Personal Simulator
represents a major advance in equipment operator training
by finally providing a completely safe and truly cost-effective
"virtual" hands-on training experience, without worrying about
the cost of removing equipment from production and paying for
accidents due to operator inexperience, not to mention the possible
danger to people.
"As a distributor of training products for heavy equipment, VISTA
Training has long been helping customers implement effective
training programs for equipment operators.
We offer everything from videos and DVD's to hands-on and
e-learning solutions in the construction and mining industries.
"Now with Simlog's help, VISTA Training will be adding
true graphical simulation to our product offering to fully
close the "see-hear-do" operator training loop for
hydraulic excavators and eventually other kinds of earth-moving equipment!"
