Why Simulation-Based Training Matters

Traditional methods – manuals, classroom sessions, or job shadowing – often fall short in preparing teams for complex, high-risk environments:

  • Live training carries safety risks and disrupts operations
  • Testing and retraining require instructor time and equipment access
  • Knowledge transfer is inconsistent across teams and shifts

 

Simulation platforms change the equation:

  • Recreate real system behavior, control logic, and equipment interaction
  • Provide safe, repeatable environments for SOPs and emergency practice
  • Enable role-specific learning, feedback tracking, and compliance analytics

 

We use Unity, Digital Twin frameworks, and your CAD models to build training systems that reflect how your operations truly work.

Our Expertise

Operator Training Simulators

Unity-based 3D environments using accurate plant geometry and control logic
Interactive elements: valves, gauges, alarms, HMI panels, control sequences
Guided training for standard operating procedures (SOPs), start-up/shutdown cycles, and shift protocols
Built-in failure modes and emergency scenarios (e.g. leak, pressure spike, equipment failure)
Compatible with touchscreens, VR headsets, or desktop-based control stations

Educational Simulation Systems

Scenario-based workflows with time constraints, role-switching, and escalating complexity
Real-time feedback engine: track learner decisions, errors, response time, and outcomes
Generate detailed training analytics for certification, compliance tracking, or retraining
Include adaptive paths: adjust difficulty and content based on user performance
Integrate with Learning Management Systems (LMS) and HSE compliance tools

Digital Twin Integration

Built using actual P&IDs, 3D CAD models, equipment tags, and real control logic
Can simulate system behaviors: fluid flow, pressure dynamics, energy consumption, etc.
Supports live data integration: IoT sensors, SCADA/PLC inputs, telemetry streams
Use for virtual commissioning, process validation, and operator readiness before site handover
Enable virtual walkthroughs, control-room simulation, or asset monitoring with embedded alerts

Faster, Safer Onboarding. Train personnel before construction is complete or without exposing them to live risk. Reduce Downtime & Errors. Practice SOPs, faults, and recoveries in virtual space, not real time. Strengthen Compliance. Track performance, record outcomes, and validate against safety protocols. Adaptable Across Teams. Train operators, maintenance, and supervisors using one system. Built from Your System. Simulations use your layout, logic, SOPs – not generic training tools.
