Contributing to the future of operator training 
We are constantly working on improving our training simulators even further. The close collaboration with Umeå University, our partners, our customers and Algoryx, secures that our systems continues to be the best on market. The training simulators are more and more integrated into the ordinary training programs, making a unbeatable team. We see a constantly growing interest in present market, and simultaneous a demand from other, new business areas. The journey has just begun, will you join us?

The fact that we develop new machines and systems every day generates synergies in all directions.
Together this will contribute in the creation of tomorrows training programs, with care for the operators and the environment.

Market and development
To create the best training simulators in the world, we are always collaborating with two parts in the development process: the machine manufacturer and a training organization. We are experts in real-time simulation, the machine manufacturer is expert in machines, hydraulics and other machine technical knowledge. Since our simulators are to be used for operators training, we need the best pedagogical value, which is why a third part is a training organization, who trains operators on that specific machine on a daily basis.

Our market can be divided into two different areas, all on a global market. The machine manufacturers use the simulators to boost their market exposure. Using a simulator for marketing of the real machine is very powerful, especially on large indoor exhibitions. Many of our partners also uses the simulators to train their customers operators, before the actual machine have been delivered.
The training organizations, for example public schools, use the simulator for training of tomorrows operators. It could also be a large fleet owner that has their own training organization. They are using the simulator for operator screening, training of new operators and to improve and sharpen the skills of the existing ones.
