CM Labs Simulations has announced the launch of Walkaround Inspection for Earthmoving Training Packs. Through this release, CM Labs continues to expand its family of products that address industry issues such as operator safety, sustainability and workforce management.
CM Labs’ virtual Walkaround Inspection is an additional exercise included with CM Labs simulated earthmoving equipment training packs. It addresses the need for training operators on safety protocols and daily pre-use inspections. The exercise includes hints and detailed information at each inspection checkpoint during the evaluation. Walkaround Inspection is included on the Backhoe, Dozer, Tracked Excavator and Wheel Loader Training Packs.
“Operators-in-training need more than just a checklist—they need instruction and support on how best to identify equipment maintenance issues before they risk becoming safety and productivity concerns. CM Labs scoring and randomized evaluation means trainees can continue to refine skills while companies can benchmark safety progress. Our Walkaround Inspection extends training capabilities with unparalleled learning opportunities for safer operations," said Davis Sieu, product manager for CM Labs Earthmoving Training.
As with all exercises, scores from Walkaround Inspection are managed in CM Labs training management Intellia Instructor. Instructors can monitor via tablet both classroom and individual student progress. Intellia Instructor allows students to complete lessons at their own pace, while trainers can support those who need it most. Transitioning walkaround inspections between each simulated equipment allows organizations to support learning.
Virtual Walkaround Inspection is the tool to use when training to identify equipment failures that are unsafe and impractical to replicate on real equipment. CM Labs simulations offer learning opportunities to train on heavy equipment safely, taking apprentice training out of the classroom and into a realistic environment.
