Control the training from your seat

With the Instructor Operating Station (IOS), you can initiate exercise sessions, monitor operations from your seat, and challenge trainees by exposing them to a wide range of tasks and job site conditions.

It is the only solution on the market that provides instructors with a real-time 3D view of learning progress, from any vantage point on the virtual work site.

The IOS also allows you to control virtual characters within the training environment for an “on the ground” perspective, or use the built-in signaler functionality to provide virtual hand signals to the operator.

True-to-life simulation

Our simulators are powered by Vortex Studio, an acclaimed physics-based real-time simulation platform that delivers unparalleled realism and immersion. This ensures skills learned in the classroom will transfer directly to live equipment.

  • Precise simulation of contacts and collisions with objects and environment
  • Full modelling of powertrain and hydraulic components
  • Simulation of hoisting, tethering and cable systems
  • Maritime environment simulation with wave scale models
  • Modelling of deformable terrain and earthmoving interactions

Fully immersive training solution

Whether you are looking to outfit an entire classrom with desktop-based solutions, or you need a single specialised simulator, we know how to design and build highly-engaging solutions that maximise learning and immersion.

  • Scale from single-screen configurations to blended projection systems
  • Leverage authentic industry-standard or OEM control sets
  • Integrate equipment PLCs and control systems
  • Deliver a full motion experience using motion platform

Success with Vortex simulators

A family-run construction company founded in 1956, Conewago Enterprises is one of the mid-Atlantic’s leading design-build general contractors.

With a Vortex simulator, Conewago Enterprises was able to save approximately $30,000 per operator trainee, and record impressive productivity improvements on the work site.
