CM Labs as mentioned in Overhead Crane & Hoist:
CM Labs Simulations is introducing a groundbreaking training solution for industrial steel manufacturers with its Intellia Overhead Crane Simulator Training Pack. This new product promises to transform operator training, offering unparalleled realism, flexibility and safety through advanced simulation technology.
In an era where efficiency and safety are paramount in industrial operations, CM Labs Simulations is making waves with its latest innovation: the Intellia Overhead Crane Simulator Training Pack. As a global leader in simulation-based training solutions, CM Labs has long been at the forefront of providing realistic, high-quality training tools for industries such as construction, utilities and ports. With over 25 years of experience and more than 1,200 installations across 44 countries, the company is now bringing its expertise to the industrial steel sector.
The Intellia Overhead Crane Simulator is designed to address the growing demand for advanced training solutions that closely mimic the real-world conditions faced by operators in high-risk environments like steel manufacturing. This cutting-edge training tool offers a unique combination of features, including multiple attachments, a range of control schemes and the ability to simulate live faults. By enabling operators to practice with steel coils, slabs and other typical loads in a virtual warehouse environment, CM Labs is setting a new standard in industrial training.
What sets the Intellia Overhead Crane Simulator apart is its attention to detail. The simulator’s training exercises allow operators to handle a variety of steel products using different attachment types, including scenarios that involve rail cars and trucks. The virtual environment mirrors the demands of the job, providing a highly realistic experience that prepares operators for the challenges of real-world operations.
Additionally, the simulator includes the unique ability to inject live faults into training exercises – such as equipment malfunctions or attachment failures – providing operators with a safe, stress-free opportunity to deal with unexpected challenges. This feature ensures that trainees are not only familiar with standard operations but are also ready for the unpredictable nature of their work.
Jason Salmon, a heavy equipment master trainer at Gerdau, a leading steel producer, spoke to the effectiveness of simulation-based training: “There’s no better way to train an operator than using a simulator, period. It takes us about half as long to get somebody signed off on our equipment because once they hit the field, they already know how the machine works.”
While the Intellia Overhead Crane Simulator Training Pack was specifically developed for the industrial sector, CM Labs plans to expand its offering further in the coming months. The training pack is already available for purchase and is compatible with a variety of CM Labs’ training hardware, including the Edge Plus, Edge Max and Advantage systems. This flexibility allows for multiple control schemes, such as cobra joysticks and pendant controls, ensuring that the system can be customised to meet the needs of diverse industrial operations.
