Virtual reality crane operator training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our virtual reality crane operator training simulators are built on modern VR technology. A user can operate a radio-controlled overhead crane in a digital environment under safe conditions. Today’s technology allows cranes to behave realistically, and the environments are lifelike. A virtual crane operator training simulator can be effectively used for training purposes and often surpasses the training opportunities available with real machines. The advantages include accessibility to different cranes, personnel safety, mental preparation for hazardous situations, and ensuring the competence of crane operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c5kerstr\u00f6ms\u2019 VR-based crane operator training system is based on the SS ISO 9926-1 standard, the Swedish Work Environment Authority’s AFS 2006:6, and additional requirements from Swedish industry. The purpose is to educate crane operators so they acquire the practical competence demanded by the industry. The training simulator includes various tasks such as daily inspections, route planning, distance to hanging loads, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each task includes text and visual aids that pedagogically explain what needs to be done. The student’s performance is monitored and documented, eliminating the need for an instructor to be present during training. The training concludes with a driving test where the student must perform different tasks incorporating previously learned skills. Performance and violations are recorded and documented, and the trainer can choose which criteria must be met for a passing grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
