CM Labs Improves Virtual Training for Construction Equipment with Intellia Instructor
CM Labs Simulations, leading vendor for simulation-based training in the construction, utilities, and ports industries, just announced the launch of Intellia Instructor — a software program that serves as a key component of a next-generation training management system. Intellia Instructor manages the CM Labs suite of Training Packs and Simulators to provide a comprehensive methodology for the heavy equipment marketplace. CM Labs’ virtual training system helps address key industry issues such as operator safety, sustainability, productivity, and workforce management.
“The need for adaptable training management is key to leveraging the best learning outcomes from virtual training programs. Intellia Instructor is the first step in taking simulation training to the next level,” said Lisa Barbieri, Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Partnerships. “Based on our work with customers and industry experts, the market is demanding a next-generation management system that will scale and provide a higher level of training results.”
The shift from operator training on real equipment to incorporating simulation training has offered great benefits in regard to mitigating risks, lowering fuel costs, and making the most of a training organization’s most valuable resource — its instructors. Training programs must adapt and find sustainable scalable solutions to meet the growing demand for skilled operators.
CM Labs designed Intellia Instructor to help training organizations develop and expand operator training programs while streamlining administrative functions. Intellia Instructor includes flexible training management options, including live one-to-many centralized monitoring via tablet, and meaningful assessment and reporting of trainee data. Because the data extracted from training results accurately reflects a meaningful evaluation of an operator’s skills, trainees gain autonomy through programmable self-paced learning paths. Based on patented engineering-grade authentic machine behavior, operator assessment also offers valuable insights into fuel consumption, cycle times, and safe operation levels in real-world scenarios.
