Elevate Operator Training & Cut Costs

Operator training simulators reduce costs and increase throughput by providing a safe and cost-effective virtual environments for trainees to rapidly practice and refine their skills without the need for expensive travel, real-world equipment, or consumables. Operator training simulators give equipment operators the opportunity to gain experience and develop skills in a controlled and structured virtual environment, and can improve operator’s reaction time, decision-making skills, and overall performance.

Operator Training Simulators by ForgeFX Simulations

ForgeFX Simulations has partnered with many of the top equipment manufacturers to decrease the costs and risks typically associated with training, by partnering with them to develop and deploy custom operator training simulators. The training simulators we produce allow organizations to reduce the amount of time and cost required for training, decrease the number of accidents and injuries related to trainee mistakes, and increase productivity, efficiency, and profitability with physical equipment on the real-world job site.

Training Simulator Return on Investment

When considering any project, it’s important to determine the return on investment so that project sponsors and stake holders know where the funding is going and what they can expect to receive in return. Simulators are no different, and the ROI can be significant. Listed below are the leading benefits of utilizing simulation-based training and the associated returns.

Reduced Wear on Equipment

By conducting portions of training on virtual simulated equipment, there is less wear and tear on real-world equipment and a reduced incidence of accidents and their associated costs and repairs.

Reduced Travel Expenses

Getting access to real-world equipment can be challenging, costly and time consuming. Removing the need to travel to equipment can immediately have a positive effect on a company’s bottom line.

Increased Throughput

Most companies struggle with throughput of employees through their training process. There are only so many trainers, accessible equipment, training locations, and hours where conditions are correct for training. Simulators remove these barriers and allow trainees to train regardless of trainer or equipment availability; and remove any environmental or geographical limitations that are out of an organization’s control.

Knowledge Transfer

A training simulator can be designed to capture the expertise of experienced personnel, such as subject matter experts or senior employees. The simulator can replicate their decision-making processes and actions, allowing others to learn from their experience. By embedding best practices into the simulator, an organization can ensure that all employees are trained in the same way. This can help to standardize operations and improve overall performance.

Reduced Use of Consumables

Training simulators require zero costly fuel, oil, or other consumable materials to be used in training, as opposed to training with physical equipment that must be maintained for proper training. Conducting training without the expense of consumables greatly decreases an organizations cost to conduct training.

Increased Operator Familiarity

Training with physical equipment will always be necessary; however much of the basic training can be conducted within the simulator so operators are familiar with the equipment before real-world training begins. Operators can practice a procedure or task ountil they’ve mastered it, without incurring expenses or risking injury.

We understand that investing in operator training simulators can be a significant decision for any business, and you may have questions or concerns about the potential return on investment. Our team of experts is here to answer any questions you might have and work with you to create a customized solution that meets your specific needs. By leveraging the latest in simulation technology, we can provide your workforce with a safe, immersive, and effective training experience that translates to real-world success.
