TRAINING VR

Professional Training Project for Crane Operators and Heavy Equipment Operators with Simulation

Training course objective

Enable participants to acquire solid skills in crane operation by using an advanced virtual reality simulator for the practical part. This technology allows users to become familiar with the machine’s dimensions, movements, and instrumentation in a safe and controlled environment before operating in real-world conditions.

Our project partners

  • Fondazione CIF Formazione – Theoretical training
  • Sant’Anna University Institute – Research and technical support for VR simulator development
  • OCA Global – International accredited certification body

These partners ensure a complete, accredited training program supported by top-level theoretical, practical, and technological expertise.

Training program structure

Basic Module

  • Theoretical and practical training using the VR simulator
  • Introduction to main handling operations and safety procedures

Specialized Module

  • Customized based on the participant’s chosen operational scenario
  • In-depth training on specific maneuvers and complex scenarios

Total duration: up to 110 hours of theoretical and practical training, combining classroom lessons, simulator sessions, and practical tests.

VR simulator

The simulator consists of three main components:

Control PC

Central computer: the “heart of the simulator”

Monitor: allows instructors and students to observe in real time what the operator is doing, facilitating shared learning

Instrumented Seat

Equipped with ergonomic seating, controls, sensors, and joysticks

Faithfully reproduces the configuration and controls found inside a crane cabin

High-Definition VR Visualization System

VR headset that isolates the user from the surrounding environment

Full immersion in operational scenarios

Operational scenarios

Fully customizable according to client needs, enabling the creation of tailored solutions for any operational context.

Examples of scenarios: Offshore, Naval, Portu, Land
