CM Labs Expands Catalog of Offerings with Industry’s First-Ever Single Drum Roller Simulation Training

Joining the industry’s largest simulated construction equipment catalog, the Roller Training Pack simulates dirt compacting machines and offers an extensive beginner-friendly curriculum for newcomers to equipment operation.

MONTREAL, QC, March 12, 2025—CM Labs Simulations, the leading vendor for simulation-based training solutions in the construction, utilities, and ports industries, today announced the launch of the Intellia Single Drum Roller Simulator Training Pack, the industry’s first-ever single drum roller simulation training. Designed to equip new operators with essential skills, the highly realistic simulator training pack seamlessly integrates with CM Labs’ Intellia training platform and joins a full equipment catalog—including training packs for motor grader, dozer, and excavator—for a complete training solution for operators of all levels.

Built by industry-leading subject matter experts and designed to address the growing labor shortage, the new training solution delivers a highly realistic training experience tailored to beginners with no prior experience operating heavy equipment. As the most beginner-friendly training pack to date, the Single Drum Roller Simulator Training Pack features a comprehensive nine-exercise curriculum designed to build a strong foundation in operating heavy equipment. With the training pack, trainees learn the foundational lessons of turning on, shutting down, and operating the roller, as well as more advanced lessons such as compacting dirt in a J pattern, compacting in a Y pattern, and how vibration settings affect operations.

“Because rollers are often the first piece of heavy equipment operators learn, we wanted to design a training solution that starts with the very basics of operation,” said Alan Limoges, Manager of Product Growth and Partnerships. “Even if a trainee has never operated heavy equipment before, our Roller Training Pack can meet them where they are and bring them up to proficiency quickly.”

With the Intellia Single Drum Roller Simulator Training Pack, trainees and instructors benefit from the following:

Detailed Metrics: Trainers gain access to data-driven insights that are impossible to measure in live environments, providing enhanced training effectiveness and skills assessment.

A Comprehensive, Beginner-Friendly Training Approach: Through dedicated exercises, the training pack introduces new operators to the fundamentals of articulated machinery, helping them master the complexities of roller operation in a risk-free environment.

Sandbox Modes for Custom Training: With two sandbox exercises—an open space and an enclosed environment—trainers have the flexibility to conduct training sessions that meet their specific needs.

Advanced Learning Features: The inclusion of an overhead view, as well as instant playback capabilities, allows instructors and trainees to analyze performance and improve learning outcomes.

Intellia Integration: The training pack is a fully integrated solution that works seamlessly within the Intellia ecosystem, and is compatible with CM Labs’ full suite of Intellia training management and instructor support tools.

To experience the Intellia Single Drum Roller Simulator Training Pack first-hand, visit booth 7050 at World of Asphalt, taking place March 25-27 at America’s Center Convention Complex, 701 Convention Plaza, in St. Louis, MO.
