SimControlBehind every great modern device there is intuitive and dependable software. Immersive Technologies’ simulators are no exception.
Powered by our industry leading software, SimControl, our Simulators incorporate advanced features proven to significantly change operator behavior in the field.
SimControl allows all configuration options to be saved ensuring repeatable training and assessment across all equipment operators.
Every mine is different. Every training program is unique. It is important that simulation software can be configured to match:
SimControl comes with a wealth of functionality to make your training program a success. This includes:
In real life it is often impossible to train correct operator behavior for safety incidents, such as machine fires or mechanical faults without endangering personnel or damaging equipment. SimControl includes:
Simulation provides unique training feedback to an operator – not possible in a real machine. SimControl makes the most of this by offering a wide variety of on-screen assistants and guides which refine the performance of each operator as quickly and effectively as possible.
SimControl also provides the trainer with a set of session monitoring tools to review the operator live during training. These allow the trainer to provide immediate feedback and adjust operator performance during training.
To significantly change operator behavior in the field a simulation must be accurate when modeling vehicles and their interaction with dynamic terrain (digging material). Not only does the simulation need to look real, it needs to feel real. For example, when an operator digs poorly, they need to feel a machine stalling and achieve a poor bucket fill rate.
Immersive Technologies combines OEM specifications, empirical machine observations and our in-house CUDA* accelerated physics engine to ensure the most realistic simulations on the market.
Immersive Technologies is unique in that we have refined our dynamic terrain sufficiently to conduct continuous improvement (CI) activities. These CI projects have delivered in field operational improvements including increased dig rates and increased bucket fill factors.
Every mine and dig location is different in terms of the material being dug. SimControl allows the digging material to be configured to match unique mine conditions, allowing operators to recognize the conditions and dig appropriately to maximize production and minimize machine damage.
To track and change operator behavior it is important to measure and assess their performance. SimControl records immense amounts of data and provides the mechanism for meaningful conclusions to be drawn from the data collected.
Following training or assessment using a simulator, it is important for operators to be able to debrief and review their session. This allows trainers to highlight areas for improvement and replay operator mistakes or highlights.
SimControl offers full 3D playback of training sessions. This allows the trainer to ‘fly around’ a machine and review the playback from any angle - not possible in a video recording of a session. As the playback is viewed operator errors and events are highlighted as they happen and are displayed in an easy access list. The feature has a variety of training uses including:
Over time technology advances, mine and operating procedures change, and training needs evolve. Therefore, it is important that the software on any simulation platform also changes with the times.
Immersive Technologies’ simulators utilize a common upgradable architecture. As a result, simulators in the field are upgraded to the latest PC hardware (every 3 years) and software (every 6 months) for customers with a Customer Support Package. Simulators as old as 15+ years continue to operate with our latest features. This unique upgradable architecture has also proven invaluable for mines changing or acquiring new equipment fleet. Newly acquired Conversion Kits can operate on existing hardware without existing simulators needing to be replaced.
