SIMULATION


Intellia allows learners to practice on their haptic and fully- immersive displays.


setups in a ground-based reproduction of a crane cabin complete with exact replicas of the levers that he or she will be pulling. “We have a wide variety of types,” says Alizadeh.


“They go from desktop, mobile, VR-based types of simulators, to simulators that replicate industrial controls with screens and motion and haptic feedback.” Haptic meaning that the ‘feel’ of the controls, and even the vibration and movement of the chair or cabin, is exactly as in the real thing. “These are very, very immersive replicas and integration of industrial controls. So that’s the hardware or physical component of the workforce training system.” The software comes next – the digital programme that controls what you see on your screens or VR goggles. It can be generic, such as a bog-standard


image of a bog-standard overhead gantry crane in bog-standard surroundings; or it can be customised. It can reproduce exactly the customer’s own crane, its performance characteristics, the layout of the factory it sits in, the nature of the loads and more. Together, these form part of the simulator. “Then


there needs to be a course, a curriculum for people to follow,” says Alizadeh. “So we built curriculum products such as our Intellia overhead crane curriculum. It takes people from novice to expert level through a defined set of exercises with different type of challenges, with a growing level of challenge and an increasing proficiency needed in order to build the skill set that is not just leading to productivity, but also to safety of operation. At the end, our customers are after operational excellence, which encompasses both safety and productivity.”
