CM Labs Simulations has announced the launch of the Earthmoving Fault Injection feature for its training management tool, Intellia Instructor.
“Fault injection for earthmoving equipment joins our fault injection for cranes as well as triggered weather events. This is a really powerful trio in Intellia Instructor and is a unique way to train operators for risky situations impossible to safely recreate with actual equipment,” said Davis Sieu, product manager for CM Labs’ earthmoving training. “Life is unscripted, and your training should be, too.”
Operators must use their judgment to solve operating challenges in the virtual worksite. The triggered events realistically affect safety violations. Distracting sounds, such as an emergency vehicle siren or cell phone ringing, can lead to operator errors. With a flat tire, pressure or tire stiffness is lost, affecting the vehicle.
Weather faults—like Zero Visibility—require operators to learn to follow verbal instructions from their trainers or face serious safety issues while operating equipment. This is all possible due to CM Labs’ proprietary core technology, which lies at the heart of every one of its simulation training packs.
This approach not only prepares novice operators for unexpected situations but also supports safety on the worksite, making it an indispensable tool in the construction industry. “Through this release, CM Labs continues to expand its comprehensive family of products that address key industry issues such as operator safety, sustainability, productivity, and workforce management,” said Sieu.
Earlier this year, CM Labs launched Intellia Instructor. It includes report generation, customizable learning paths, live faults and weather challenges and administrative functions. Uncoupled and untethered from a teaching station, instructors can support multiple trainees in real time via a tablet while monitoring each individual's performance.
