Train operators with precision and help enhance their productivity on real machine controls before they set foot in the forest with simulator technology from Waratah. Whether an operator is new to logging, or an experienced logger is taking their skills to the next level, simulators offer a safe and innovative way to gain experience virtually without real equipment.
Learn Before the Landing
Help new operators gain knowledge from the start while accelerating skills for experienced operators for even more productivity and safety gains. Simulation technology shows operators where they can improve, detailing everything from how to gain efficiency by reducing wear on the machine, to how simple changes can decrease fuel consumption and increase productivity.
With multiple simulator products to choose from, you can find the perfect solution to help your team develop techniques in a realistic, virtual environment.
Harvester Controller Simulator
- Simulator software: H-16 controller simulator for use on customer computer – replicating what is in the machine (no environment or skills training).
- Menus and settings: Actual menus and settings as found in the machine controller.
- Adjust settings and check cutting instruction: Used to familiarize operators with system features and settings, and trial cutting instructions.
- Available with controller software.
Operator Skill-set Developer
- Laptop/desktop simulator: Operators learn technique in a realistic, virtual environment, with machine joysticks and visuals simulating real-lift machine movements, tree tendencies and head responses (no controller menus).
- Self-paced or instructor led: With a connected classroom, the simulator has capabilities for self-paced instruction for individuals, or a more formal curriculum connected to remote instruction or a classroom setting.
- Tailor to skill level: Adjust simulation exercises to meet operational needs and support new operators by removing on-the-job pressures to increase productivity and confidence.
- Wheeled or tracked applications: The simulation environment includes harvesting/processing applications.
Virtual Machine Simulator
- Integrated solution: A virtual environment paired with the TimberRite H-16 control system provides users with more of a machine feel, helping them not only develop competencies for head operation, but also expand their knowledge of the overall head-control system, too.
- Controller knowledge development: This offering is ideal for developing H-16 interface knowledge, which includes developing work sites, cutting instructions, head adjustments, caliper calibration, mapping and general familiarity of the system and data management.
