Simlog's new Wheeled Material Handler Personal Simulator puts you at the controls of a typical wheeled material handler equipped with an articulated boom, four-tine grapple, elevating cab, and outriggers.
Many different kinds of situations typical of (metal) scrap recycling yards are presented, in order to address the training needs of a wide variety of customers using different operational practices.
Simply set up the simulator controls (see below for details), install the simulation software in English or French (Spanish coming soon) on your desktop or laptop PC, and begin.
Add a big screen display for "life size" graphics, and quality speakers for the audio feedback. Simlog even offers a vibration system to enhance the simulation experience. There are setup options to suit most every budget.
There are five "Simulation Modules" of increasing difficulty, as follows:
Key "Performance Indicators" measure how quickly and how carefully the simulated work is performed. With more than 30 Performance Indicators in all, feedback is diagnostic, instead of just a consolidated pass/fail score. They include execution time, productivity, grapple height and angle when driving, cabin elevation when driving and when handling material, and counting many kinds of collisions (grapple, ground, undercarriage, etc.).
A variety of incorrect operating conditions will trigger "Procedure Errors", such as driving "out of bounds". Finally, conditions related to safety receive special attention: causing the wheeled material handler or a container to overturn, will trigger a "Fatal Error" and the simulation immediately stops.
Simulation results are automatically saved, along with the occurrence of any "Procedure Error" or "Fatal Error", so trainees can progress at their own pace without trainer supervision. To simplify the record keeping, Simlog offers a database product called Simulation Manager, and the same database can be used with all of our Personal Simulators.
Three kinds of USB-ready simulator controls and mounting configurations, are available:
Simlog's Bulldozer simulation software can also be configured, in order to simulate the behavior of a wide variety of bulldozers. For example, you can use separate pedals for Decelerator and Brake, or just a single pedal that combines both functions, to reproduce the different pedal arrangements found in real bulldozers.
Simlog's Wheel Loader Personal Simulator puts trainees at the controls of a modern Wheel Loader in interaction with an Off-Highway Truck. Using the challenging driving scenarios and life-like digging zones of the virtual quarry combined with our intelligent instructional design, your trainees are guided through a series of 8 skill building Simulation Modules.
Simlog's Hydraulic Excavator Personal Simulator puts trainees at the controls of a modern Hydraulic Excavator in interaction with an articulated dump truck. Using life-like dynamic terrain combined with our intelligent instructional design, your trainees are guided through a series of 12 skill building Simulation Modules.
