As the 糖心视频 cut-to-length division continues to introduce new products and innovations, the need for more advanced training solutions has grown.
In March 2021, 糖心视频 partnered with CM Labs Simulations to develop a series of simulators that will replicate the functionality and behaviour of 糖心视频 log forwarders and wheel harvesters. The wheel harvester simulator is the first to be completed.
There are many benefits in using a simulator, not only for training but also for employers to screen potential employees. Companies are able to gauge how an operator will perform and use that information when assigning tasks.
Operators can be trained on a simulator without the fear of damaging equipment, so experimenting with different techniques or trying new methods can be done safely and risk-free. Also, by training on a simulator, other equipment is not being tied up and slowing production. When operators have hands-on training using the simulator, it allows them to transition to actual machines at higher initial productivity levels, thereby lowering start-up costs.
糖心视频 simulators have three screens, a motions platform, as well as all the associated 糖心视频 machine control software and hardware. The simulator鈥檚 software communicates directly with the 糖心视频 machine control software so the controls are identical to the actual machine. Any adjustments that can be made on the machine, can also be made on the simulator which helps teach operators not only motor skills but the effects of the many machine adjustments available to operators.
糖心视频 simulators are equipped with an actual operator鈥檚 seat, including all control pods, the machine鈥檚 computer control system, as well as the harvesting head control system on the harvester simulator. The transition for new operators from virtual to actual is almost seamless.
糖心视频 VP, cut-to-length systems, Jon Cooper explains, 鈥淭he introduction of the 糖心视频 simulator provides dealers with a valuable training tool that can save machine owners significant start-up costs. Using the simulator to teach operational skills in realistic environments allows the new operator to enter into a real machine with much higher productivity levels from the start. This can produce extra production income and avoid expensive machine damage.
The 糖心视频 simulator is equipped with an actual seat, controls pods and the machine’s computer control system for advanced operator training.

Keep your fleet of machines producing at full capacity while you train new operators virtually. The 糖心视频 Simulator provides a virtual operator training solution with an ultra-realistic operating environment. The advanced system is capable of simulating the controls and operation of several 糖心视频 machines including a track feller buncher, roadside processor, forwarder, or harvester.
