1 MAKE SURE THEY RE READY FOR ANYTHING WITH TRUE-TO-LIFE MOTION SIMULATION FOR CRANES AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT Reflexes and psychomotor skills are the instincts that will help your employees to react quickly to prevent an accident. Equip your operators with the essential tools to safely operate large machinery, and develop operators reflexes and muscle memory, all with an affordable motion system that integrates seamlessly with the world s best simulation applications.

2 YOUR TRAINEES WILL FACE CHALLENGING AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. Make sure they re totally prepared. GET YOUR OPERATORS REAL-WORLD READY From managing heavy loads to handling dangerous weather conditions, learning to operate heavy machinery can be challenging and risky especially if it s not done right. Wear and tear on the machinery not to mention fuel costs make training on real equipment economically impractical. It s also unwise and potentially dangerous. Whether it s a crane, an earthmoving vehicle, or plant equipment, it s up to you to make sure your operators are trained with realistic, real world experiences. As a certification or training provider, it s crucial for you to find a solution that s effective and affordable giving your trainees precise and true-to-life psychomotor training, while staying on budget. Most learners are multi modal, meaning they need a combination of tactile cues sensory input to ensure the effectiveness of their training. Accelerate operator compliance while ensuring safety and accuracy You know the importance of preparing your trainees for the critical task of operating heavy machinery hether it s crane, mining machinery, earthmoving or industrial equipment. Learning on the actual machines, however, just isn t the best way to do it. It s expensive, dangerous, and difficult to evaluate. But trainees need practise PRATICE, and they need to integrate the physical experience of operating that large equipment until it s totally ingrained. So what s one of the most important parts of the training equation? D-BOX Motions Systems for heavy equipment simulations. State-of-the-art motion technology that adds realistic movement to your existing simulation software or architecture. With D-BOX, you can quickly and affordably integrate an out-of-the-box motion solution into your simulation engine, and deliver the true-to-life physical experience of operating large equipment. D-BOX is a strong partner when we develop simulators. Their solution is a flexible, turnkey motion system which allows us to deliver the best simulators to our customers on time and on budget. - Arnold Free, CM Labs, COO MOTION OPERATOR TRAINING TRANSFER IMPROVEMENT Motion System (Motion and Vibrations) Kinesthetic Cues (Vestibular ear and touch sense) Memorable emotions New reflexes FINDING THE RIGHT MOTION SIMULATION SOLUTION Accelerate operator compliance while ensuring safety and accuracy EFFICIENT TRAINING SIMULATOR Visualization Sound Instructions Motion Heavy equipment training is long overdue for an update. It needs an affordable simulation tool that equips operators for the demanding experience of operating heavy machinery. One that offers a simulated experience so real, it s like they trained on the machinery itself. The ideal system is affordable, but doesn t compromise the richness of the learner s experience. It trains muscle memory by fully engaging operators in motion simulations. Adopting and integrating new technologies can be challenging. D-BOX offers easy integration turn key motion systems combined with your preferred simulation engine to create state-of-the-art motion simulations. These systems can replicate the motion of any equipment from cranes and excavators, to forklifts and backhoes, with stunning accuracy. The result is not only an affordable alternative to your existing simulators. It s one that lets you to quickly design equipmentspecific solutions, and fine tune-training for individual learners.

3 EASILY INTEGRATE D-BOX MOTION TECHNOLOGY TO PROVIDE STATE-OF-THE-ART HEAVY EQUIPMENT SIMULATION TRAINING EASY-TO-DEPLOY - PROVEN - SCALABLE Easily integrate the D-BOX motion solution into your existing simulation training architecture D-BOX technology is a state-of-the-art motion system that seamlessly integrates with industry software and architectures, making for quick deployment and low maintenance. D-BOX systems are compatible with industry simulation software and serious games alike to create fully immersive simulated training experiences. Immersive training for cranes and heavy machinery Quickly Reach Compliance True-to-life motion simulation on heavy equipment trains operators efficiently, allowing them to develop the skills they need to pass certification exams quickly and confidently. By integrating with your preferred simulation training software, D-BOX motion technology gives operators a visceral experience of operating heavy machinery under ideal - and more importantly, not-so-ideal - circumstances, making sure they re ready for the real thing. Accurately Deliver Effective Psychomotor Training Preparing your trainees to operate heavy machinery in the real world requires a simulator that uses precise kinesthetic cues to develop accurate psychomotor reflexes. When integrated with best-of-breed simulation software, D-BOX motion technology creates pure movement cues, providing an immersive experience that develops trainees critical reflexes and muscle memory. Minimize Risks and Damage to Equipment Trainees must stay safe while they re learning to operate heavy equipment; and expensive machinery needs to remain safe from unskilled handling. D-BOX and its partners solve both these problems with a single solution. By incorporating D-BOX motion technology into your simulation system, you give their students a truly accurate experience of handling large machinery, while eliminating the risks of training on machinery. Hardware D-BOX motion systems are evolutive and scalable, with motion hardware that can be integrated into a seat, platform, or other surface to simulate a wide range of textures and scalable axes of movement. A D-BOX specialist can help you select the optimal arrangement of actuators for your application, ensuring you deliver on budget and on time. Software For simulation, D-BOX interactive software uses motion algorithms to respond to user commands. Motion signals are sent to the Motion Controller, which decrypts the signal and sends the queue to the motion actuators. D-BOX motion specialists will support your integrations to replicate all vehicle movements from your simulation, including vehicle position, accelerations, suspension, hydraulic system activation cues, engine vibrations, and movement of articulated parts. Affordable Traditional motion simulators aren t necessarily the most cost effective. Just because you re paying a high price tag doesn t mean you re getting the best motion-based training. D-BOX motion systems deliver state-of-the-art simulation at a fraction of the price of many commercially available motion systems. What s more, D-BOX s interoperability and ease of deployment further reduce the overall cost of deploying and managing a simulation training program. Interoperable D-BOX technology integrates easily with your existing simulator s architecture. It relies on open APIs and communication standards to ensure that its motion systems easily interoperate with partner and client software. Easy to Deploy Operational requirements and situations can change quickly, calling for simulation systems that can be rapidly deployed anywhere, anytime. D-BOX technology is a game changer, thanks to its ease of installation, low electrical power requirements, low shipment weight, and minimal deployment time. Engaging A simulator without motion is an incomplete experience. To be truly effective, simulation training has to be so engaging that it removes psychological barriers to learning, creating psychomotor reflexes that will respond to real life situations. D-BOX immerses trainees by expertly replicating the platform s movement while using rich motion cueing to accurately replicate true life vibration and motion cues portraying exactly the sensations felt in real work environment. Commercial Off-the-Shelf As a COTS certified solution, D-BOX offers a remarkably affordable and reliable solution. D-BOX technology is supported and documented, and easy to integrate and manage. Users can access all of D-BOX s expertise, including motion code, behavioral subtlety, and vibrations.
