RE:RE:How’s everyone feelingThe future of simulators in colleges, organizations looks bright.
Any news, updates, follow-ups would be appreciated.
Joe Najjar is territory manager for Canada and the U.S. for CM Labs, the simulator’s manufacturer. They are based in Montreal. He said, “Our headquarters, and everything you see here, is made in Canada.”
“This is our
go-to solution for community colleges, training organizations, that need to maximize the amount of machines that they can run on the same simulator.
“This can run up to 14 machines,” he said. That includes excavator, wheel loader, bulldozer, articulated dump truck, motor grader, backhoe, and numerous models of cranes. Additional equipment like skid-steer loader, telehandler and forklift are being added.
Estevan MLA and Minister of Government Relations Lori Carr tried it out. “I didn't know what to think when I got on it, but it is pretty real. I felt like I was in a machine, actually running the controls. And when I would hit the ground, my seat would bounce, it startled me. So, I think it's going to be a really great tool, moving forward.”
