VxMaster Highlights

VxMaster employs advanced equipment behaviour models, authentic crane controls and high-resolution computer graphics to provide a complete crane-operator environment.

• Future-proof platform: Supports many different cranes and heavy-lift machines for construction, ports, offshore and other industries to increase training program offerings, protect investments and accelerate student throughput.
• Immersive environment: Features high-resolution graphics processors, multiple wraparound HD displays, actual machine joysticks and control systems, authentic worksites, machine and environmental noises, and a sophisticated head-tracking system for precise point of view.
• Learning features: The Instructor’s Console adds an important training dimension by allowing trainers to record/play back student performances, modify work environments, and introduce unexpected events like mechanical/hydraulic problems and sling breaks.
• Integrates team training: Scenarios easily accommodate multiple personnel such as banksmen/signalers and slingers/riggers, all working with the equipment operator to build crucial planning, operations and communication skills.
• Motion platforms: An optional motion base can be integrated, providing operators with an additional lifelike sensation as they perform lifts and equipment operations.
