Emission free productivity increase

The Volvo Simulators provide a real-world simulation that will boost productivity and increase the lifespan of the machine. Through training in an authentic operator environment with original controls and realistic and immersive work situations, the operator will master the machine even before stepping into the cab. For experienced operators, simulator training offers an opportunity to test new routines – or brush up on old ones – resulting in increased efficiency and productivity. New knowledge. More experience. 100 % emission-free.

IDENTIFYING OPERATOR TRAINING NEEDS

Assessing who needs training, and what type of training, can be a challenge. With Volvo Simulators identifying operator training requirements is easy and effective. The operator performance system (OPS) is a user management system, combined with tools for setting up groups and available scenarios, as well as a system for accessing operator performance records. The OPS is built around an SQL database which logs simulator activity and key metrics for each scenario. The OPS also provides views and reports making this data easy to understand and accessible for instructors when evaluating the progress and skill-set of the operators.

AUTHENTIC SCENARIOS – INSTANT FEEDBACK

Built using actual data from Volvo machines and equipped with authentic controls, Volvo Simulators accurately replicate specific workplace conditions, including site setup and fleet configuration. Operators get real-time feedback on their performance through easy-to-understand graphs. The feedback can be configured to focus on specific areas, for example, fuel consumption and safety.

WHAT YOU GET

The Volvo Simulators provide real-world simulations for Wheel Loaders, Excavators and Articulated Haulers along with a vast library of corresponding work scenarios where the operator can choose which tasks or operations to practice. In addition, there are two extensions available for the Volvo Excavator Simulator (extra scenarios for demolition and pipe laying ) and one for the Wheel Loader Simulator (extra scenarios focusing on handling Pipes and Poles with a grapple).
