Volvo WLO 500H – Wheel Loader Simulator

Volvo Co-Pilot 2.0 is an innovative assistance system for heavy equipment operators, now fully integrated into the WLO 500 and available as an option for a highly realistic training experience. With advanced features such as Load Assist with Onboard Weighing and Operator Coaching, operators can practice precision work, load optimization, and efficient material handling in a safe, virtual environment.

By training on the Volvo Co-Pilot 2.0 in the simulator before operating real machinery, operators become safer, more productive, more efficient, and fully prepared to perform at their best from day one.

The WLO 500 simulator is available in a range of configurations to suit different training needs and environments—ensuring there’s a solution for everyone:

• Single Screen with Caster Wheels
  A highly mobile option, ideal for flexible training spaces.

• Single Screen with Motion Platform (MPF)
  A compact setup enhanced with motion feedback for a realistic training experience.

• Three Screens with Caster Wheels
  Expansive visuals in a portable, easy-to-relocate format.

• Three Screens with Motion Platform (MPF)
  An immersive, full-field view combined with motion for advanced simulation realism

The simulator offers a wide range of training and demonstration scenarios, many of them set within a virtual replica of our Eskilstuna Demo Center. This allows operators to practice in realistic environments and prepare for a variety of real-world situations. From foundational skills to complex site operations, each exercise is tracked and evaluated through the integrated Operator Performance System (OPS).

Machine Operations
Build essential skills and develop a deep understanding of machine functionality and controls.

Productivity Training
Start by evaluating your current performance, then progress through guided scenarios designed to improve efficiency and on-site productivity.

Grouped Scenarios
Structured, goal-oriented training modules that streamline learning, boost operator independence, and maximize training outcomes.

This exercise is an introduction to our Skills Enhancement system.

In this time-limited scenario, the goal is to load a crusher with as much material as possible. At the end of each run, the operator will receive an evaluation of their performance with suggestions on how to improve. The operator needs to be wary of damaging the machine while operating, and exposing the machine to excessive wear will reduce the final score. The final score will be based on productive skills, as well as on the ability to work in a fuel-efficient manner.

Fasten your seatbelt, start the machine, set it up in a good working position, and start loading the crusher.

All Volvo CE simulators come equipped with an integrated user management system that tailors specific training paths for each student. Each scenario generates an Operator Performance System report, providing comprehensive statistics on the operator’s performance. This includes a total score and grading based on predefined criteria.

Following the completion of every scenario, operators receive a detailed performance report highlighting successes and areas for improvement. For instance, while achieving excellent completion time and production scores, the report may uncover issues such as high fuel consumption and unnecessary wear and tear. This capability not only identifies potential concerns difficult to detect with real machinery but also helps in cost mitigation and enhances overall safety.

Available as an optional upgrade, the ART Add-On Kit transforms your WLO 500 simulator into a fully functional articulated hauler in under a minute—thanks to its quick-swap control system.

It includes the same comprehensive training scenarios featured in the standalone ART 500 simulator, offering seamless versatility without compromising on realism or performance.
