Audace VR machine simulators

Presentation:

Immersive, connected, and intelligent training simulators for operating lifting and handling equipment, offering a turnkey solution for initial training or renewal of CACES® operating licenses.

4 machine simulators available:

1 - VR simulator for auxiliary crane operation:

Educational objectives:

- Validation of auxiliary crane driving skills on the ground
- Learning to drive as part of initial CACES® R490 training for auxiliary loading cranes prior to training on real machinery
- CACES® R490 refresher training
- Safety: Learning how to operate and control sway
- Productivity: Timing on course and measuring sway

Driving:

- Learning how to use the remote control
- Learning how to use the fixed control station
- Taking up position
- Controlling sway
- Mastering the pallet fork
- Handling slung loads
- Managing the direction of maneuvering
- Movements and commands
- CACES® standard courses

2 - GMA driving VR simulator

Educational objectives:

- Validation of GMA crane ground driving skills
- Learning to drive as part of initial CACES® R487 GMA training, in addition to training on actual machinery
- CACES® R487 refresher training
- Safety: Learning how to operate and control sway
- Productivity: Timing on course and measuring sway

Driving:

- Learning the controls
- Learning the movements
- Controlling sway
- Managing the direction of maneuvering
- Gestures and commands
- CACES® standard courses
- Training courses
- Advanced courses

3 - VR simulator for operating aerial work platforms (AWPs)

- Validation of aerial work platform (AWP) driving skills
- Learning to drive as part of initial training before training on a real machine (reducing the time needed to mobilize the real aerial work platform and increasing trainer availability)
- Refresher training in aerial work platform operation (no need to use an actual platform)
- Safety: learning risk management
- Productivity: learning to operate aerial work platforms under time constraints

Operation:

- Use of harnesses and PPE
- Movement/suitability
- Command gestures
- Positioning the basket in space
- Maneuvering from the lower station
- Experience in a very high environment
- MEWP 1B stabilization
- Reaction to unforeseen events

4 - VR simulator for operating overhead cranes and gantry cranes

- Validation of overhead crane operating skills
- Learning to operate cranes as part of initial training before training on real equipment (reducing the time required to mobilize the real crane and increasing the availability of crane operator trainers)
- Refresher training in crane operation (no need to use the actual crane)
- Productivity: learning to operate aerial work platforms in a limited amount of time

Scenarios:

- Learning the controls
- Learning the movements
- Slinging loads
- Mastering load balancing
- Lifting and positioning maneuvers with flexibility and precision
- Broken down and synchronized movements by positioning the load in a specific location
- Operation following command and communication gestures
- CACES® standard course
- Advanced course
