There is one more component to come. “The last component of the Intellia Workforce Training System is the tools that we built for instructors: they are training management tools. Because when you think about it, at the end you are creating a training system with human instructors as well as a digital course. You might have one instructor with ten students or 20 students at different stations. You would need an efficient way for the instructor to be able to serve multiple students at the same time,” says Alizadeh. “So this expands the operation from monitoring


how they are progressing, through live recording and management of those students. You are able to challenge them as they are doing their actual operation by injecting malfunctions into their system and seeing how they behave.”


Some clients might use their overhead crane to occasionally move a steel beam. But a client operating a steel foundry, where crane operators handle multi-tonne containers of molten metal and pour them into moulds will want – and need – much more than that. For such clients, familiarity with the exact working environment is a must. “We can go into full immersive environments, and we can replicate a facility down to their exact process if they require that,” says CM Labs’s Jeremy Patterson.


Immersive and realistic Virtual Rangers, based in Luxembourg, is another company specialising in immersive and realistic simulation training. In their simulation for Luxembourgian steel production company ArcelorMittal, the learner uses an overhead crane remote control to manoeuvre 220t
