Operator Training Simulator (OTS)

Optimized & industry-ready SolutionS

Ensuring trained operators

Cape Software can deliver highly customized, process specific operator training solution leveraging the VP Link simulation environment.  The trainees work with a copy of the plant graphics, in front of an off-line operator console while the instructor monitors and initiate malfunction scenarios.  A fully functional process model for training can be delivered prior to start-up, to maximize its usage and boost operator confidence level for any upcoming start-up.

Clients may also want to use the VP Link Training node for an ongoing refresher training with a spare off-line test bed executing all or part of the plant control software.  

Our Client/Server architecture allows for  distinct training set-up:

  • concurrent training
    trainees work on their respective units, dynamically interacting with other trainees’ process units in real time
  • parallel training
    all the trainees run the same unit in parallel, with no interactions

Cape also offers immersive Operator Training Simulator systems that leverages the power and realism of Virtual Reality (VR) technology.  The VR-enabled OTS provides trainees exposure to another dimension in learning and improved comprehension.

Proven Training Solutions!

Key BENEFITS

VP Link offers the following key benefits:

  • Increased operator efficiency, specifically emergency response training.
  • Start-up training and shut-down scenarios.
  • Automated scoring scheme allows for unattended, fully documented training sessions
  • Granular security scheme allowing for remote training administration
  • Compatible with OSHA recommendation.

CAPABILITIES

VP Link can rigorously simulate the process, based on the operator training board scope.  We can provide the modeling capabilities thanks to a team of highly competent engineers with various fields of expertise.

With VP Link, special operations (e.g., start-up and shut-down) can be studied and practiced off-line, at different upset conditions requested by the trainer.  Various levels of difficulty are easily managed from the Course Management System. 

Operator Responses to process upsets can be logged and a grade can be assigned based on post-run log analysis.  The scoring scheme is customized to the dynamics of your process and real world operations procedures.
