Knowledge Sharing for a Brighter Future
A high fidelity dynamic simulator is typically used for operator training. The primary goal of which is cost mitigation by familiarizing future operators with the control scheme utilized on site and the consequences of incorrect operation so as to minimize mistakes. When properly built, these simulators can, as outlined in this article, provide benefits well beyond those of OTS.

While the word itself means “on-site capability”, this implies not only the worker’s skill, but also empowerment in the workplace ultimately contributing to improvements on the manufacturing level.
Read MoreIt is very critical that we try to understand operations by understanding our operators, from their point of view. Then, when implementing technologies, we focus on implementation in a manner that matches with the manner in which the operators think, and towards the goals that they need to achieve. Too often there is a focus on adding new and extra information/data.
