Next Gen Equipment Training Simulator Implementation

This case study details the implementation of CM Labs' Smart Training Technology at Next Gen Equipment Training, a civil construction training business founded by Terri Olson. The objective of the initiative was to provide effective training solutions for heavy equipment operators, addressing various training goals and experience levels. The CM Labs simulator, featuring a three-screen Vortex Advantage setup, replicates real-world equipment behavior and allows instructors to manage training remotely through the Instructor Operator Station. The technology enhances training effectiveness by offering personalized instruction that is faster and more engaging than traditional field training. The case study also highlights the challenges faced by construction business owners in hiring and developing skilled operators, emphasizing the importance of flexible training solutions. The simulator's ability to provide a realistic operator experience has proven beneficial in operator screening and retention, ultimately positioning Next Gen for success in the competitive training landscape.
