Simformotion has released the new Fletcher Simulators High Reach Scaler simulator. The system creates a realistic underground mining environment and features authentic Fletcher controls and machine exercises so operators can learn real-world applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The simulator provides multiple exercises; a motion system to help operators learn tipping points; and VR, which gives learners greater depth perception while practicing maneuvers and techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe recognize that safety in mine operations is critical, which is why the new Fletcher Simulators High Reach Scaler system teaches operators how to accurately, efficiently and safely remove loose or unstable rock and debris from tunnel walls and roofs. This procedure helps ensure the mine is safe before other workers and machines enter the area,\u201d said Lara Aaron, Simformotion CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAs operators learn and practice the real-world skills on the authentic Fletcher controls, they also stay safe in the virtual, simulated mine environment. We frequently hear of the challenges mining operations have in finding operators. Fletcher Simulators help companies build their own workforce with knowledgeable, skilled operators.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The multiple exercises teach operators to conduct a proper pre-operation machine inspection, ensuring operational conditions. Operators learn correct start-up and shut-down procedures and how to accurately and efficiently remove loose or unstable rock and debris from tunnel walls and roofs with the scaler, helping to ensure mine site safety and prevent falls or collapses before other machines and workers enter the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exercises also include teaching operators how to safely and effectively tram the scaler, position the machine, scaling operations and much more. While operators practice their newly learned skills, the system\u2019s built-in reporting software, SimU Campus, records their simulation sessions and generates reports on an easy-to-read, user-friendly dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system also features a companion SimScholars online curriculum, a one-to-one match with the simulator exercises, which can be used in the classroom or for remote learning. The interactive, turn-key curriculum solution features instructor guides, videos, quizzes and more. By integrating SimScholars curriculum, the manufacturer noted, operators experience a unique, blended learning experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
