Simlog Simulation Manager

  • Simlog Simulation Manager Software

Alone, Simlog’s Personal Simulators save simulation results as files on your PC, with filenames that incorporate the date and time. But adding Simulation Manager will let you save all simulation results in a Simlog database, provide security, and simplify keeping track of who’s done what. Just one software license is needed, since the same Simulation Manager can be used with all of our Personal Simulators.

Software Description

Using the Simulation Manager, you can:

  • Create a unique “account” for each simulator user, with a unique login name and password
  • Restrict access to simulation results by assigning users to different categories (Students, Instructors, Administrators)
  • Group users into “classes”. In this way, if you are using the same PC to host several Simulators, you can authorize different classes to use different Simulators
  • Work with multiple databases at the same time
  • Save all simulation results in the Simlog database, indexed by user.

Note that the database is archived locally (remember that with Simlog, there is no Internet connection). In particular, nothing is stored “in the cloud” where your data could be subject to cyber-theft or tampering. In this way, everything stays private and confidential, at your premises.

Simlog also offers a free Viewer so that people off-site can also review the same simulation results, using a local copy of the Simlog database.

Why Simulation Manager

The following table summarizes the advantages of using Simulation Manager.

With Simulation Manager,
Personal Simulators in Multi-User Mode
No Simulation Manager,
Personal Simulators in Single-User Mode

The Personal Simulator “knows” who you are, thanks to your user account login name and password.
The Personal Simulator does not know who you are.

Results for each simulation “session” are saved as entries in the same Simlog database, indexed by user (login name).
Results for each simulation “session” are saved in the form of individual files identified by the date and time.

Reporting includes total training time and total number of trials (exercises) for each simulation module (all simulation sessions), and total training time and total number of trials for each Personal Simulator (all simulation modules).
There is no such reporting.

Off-site monitoring of simulation results is easy: have someone onsite pass along the database file, and then have people off-site use Simlog’s free Viewer to browse that database.
Off-site monitoring of simulation results is difficult. The onsite people must pass along all the results files, and each one must be viewed individually using a Web browser.

Simulation results are confidential. For example, a Student user can only review his/her simulation results, but an Instructor can review the simulation results of all the Students.
Anyone can review anyone’s simulation results by browsing the Results files.

Simulator use is secure. Only people with valid login names and passwords can use the simulator.
Anyone can use the simulator.

Finally, note that in the case of a simulator lab, the simulation results at each station will be saved in the same database (so long as all of the simulator PCs are all networked together), as shown here for the example of five simulator “stations” (for five people training at the same time).

  • Simlog Personal Simulators
    Item Number:
    FLT
    Simlog's Forklift Personal Simulator puts trainees at the controls of a typical factory forklift with rear-wheel steering. Challenging training scenarios reproduce the productivity demands of modern factory, warehouse, and distribution center environments. Our intelligent Instructional Design will guide your trainees through a series of 7 skill-building Simulation Modules that emphasize safety in every exercise.
  • Heavy Equipment Operator Training Simulators
    Item Number:
    BHL
    Simlog’s new Backhoe Loader Personal Simulator puts you at the controls of a backhoe loader (BHL), also called “Loader Backhoe” and “Tractor Loader Backhoe (TLB), at work in a typical construction site. Special configuration parameters allow instructors to modify the 3D modeling to select one of five possible color combinations and set the number of lift arm cylinders to one or two. This flexibility makes the simulated Backhoe Loader look like the equipment sold by all the leading OEMs.
  • Simlog Bulldozer Personal Simulator - Operator Chair
    Item Number:
    DZR
    Simlog's Bulldozer simulation software can also be configured, in order to simulate the behavior of a wide variety of bulldozers. For example, you can use separate pedals for Decelerator and Brake, or just a single pedal that combines both functions, to reproduce the different pedal arrangements found in real bulldozers.
  • Simlog Personal Simulators for Industrial Training
    The simulation software puts you at the controls of a modern twin boom Drill Jumbo in an underground mining tunnel (drift). You can even change the viewpoint during the simulation at the touch of a button!
  • Simlog Forwarder Personal Simulator
    Item Number:
    FWD
    Simply set up the simulator controls , install the simulation software (in English or French) on your desktop or laptop PC, and begin! The simulation software puts you at the controls of a typical forwarder equipped with an articulated boom, telescoping extension, and free-swinging grapple attachment. You can even change the viewpoint during the simulation at the touch of a button.
  • Simlog Harvester Personal Simulator
    Item Number:
    HRV
    The simulation software puts you at the controls of a typical tracked carrier (swing machine) equipped with an articulated boom and free-swinging "dangle-type" harvester head. You can even change the viewpoint during the simulation at the touch of a button. Simply set up the simulator controls, install the simulation software on your desktop or laptop PC, and begin!
  • Cost Effective Simulation for Training Heavy Equipment Operators
    Item Number:
    HEX
    Simlog's Hydraulic Excavator Personal Simulator puts trainees at the controls of a modern Hydraulic Excavator in interaction with an articulated dump truck. Using life-like dynamic terrain combined with our intelligent instructional design, your trainees are guided through a series of 12 skill-building Simulation Modules.
  • Mining Truck Operator Simulator Trainer
    Item Number:
    MT
    Modern mining equipment is increasingly complex, costly, and difficult to operate productively. As a result, proper operator training has become everyone's business. The fact is, it takes training to spot a truck and position it for loading under a full bucket. It also takes training to back up a truck just using mirrors under that bucket. Otherwise, your mining operations will suffer from lower productivity, higher fuel costs, increased tire wear, and more equipment maintenance and repair.
  • Mobile Crane Personal Simulator
    Item Number:
    MCRA
    Simlog’s Advanced Edition puts you at the controls of a modern rough-terrain mobile crane equipped with telescoping boom and jib, and a variety of hook-blocks with best-in-class simulation graphics and physics, slings that go “slack”, and a boom that deflects. And now there’s wind, with parameters to define the direction, strength, and gusting.
  • Simlog Personal Simulators for OperatorTraining
    Item Number:
    OHT
    The simulation software puts you at the controls of a modern "rock truck" at work in a typical quarry, in interaction with a simulated Wheel Loader. You can even use the keyboard function keys and mouse controls during the simulation to change the point of view!
