For ArcelorMittal, Virtual Rangers has developed a virtual reality training application for learning how to operate an overhead crane.
This realistic simulation immerses the learner in an ArcelorMittal industrial site, with different scenarios for lifting molten steel ladles.
The learner becomes a crane operator in this simulation, using an overhead crane remote control to maneuver the 220-ton hooks and lift steel ladles. The user must follow a precise procedure that complies with the safety rules specific to ArcelorMittal's industrial sites. In the event of errors, everything is recorded in the application and sent to a platform where all the trainees' results are collated.
This application is designed to be driven by a trainer who assesses the trainees' bridge-handling skills. The trainer sees a different display from the trainee, and can see in real time the mistakes made by the user.
This application is designed to be driven by a trainer who assesses the trainees' bridge-handling skills. The trainer sees a different display from the trainee, and can see in real time the mistakes made by the user.
The trainer can choose different evaluation scenarios:
- How to make a bridge checklist
- Know the language of the bridge operator's safety gestures
- Classic ladle lifting path from oven A to oven B
- Course with bag removal (place the bag in a specific area and know the procedure)
- Course with bag degassing (place the bag in a specific area and know the procedure)
- Accident course: the ladle is pierced and the molten metal spills out
- Course with error, the ladle nozzles are open and molten metal flows out
- Route with points of vigilance, pedestrians are present on the route
This complete training application enables the trainer to train trainees and check their reactions to accident scenarios before having them drive a real overhead crane. This saves time and improves training efficiency.
