Operator Training Simulator

Cape Software Inc can deliver highly customized, process specific operator training solution leveraging the VP Link simulation environment.

 The trainees work with a copy of the plant graphics, in front of an off-line operator console while the instructor monitors and initiate malfunction scenarios. 

A fully functional process model for training can be delivered prior to start-up, to maximize its usage and boost operator confidence level for any upcoming start-up.

 (See a dynamic schematic of a typical VP Link implementation on a off-line system)

You may also want to use the VP Link® Trainin node for an ongoing refresher training with a spare off-line test bed executing all or part of the plant control software.

The Client / Server architecture allows for two distinct training set-up:

- concurrent training : trainees work on their respective units, dynamically interacting with other trainees' process units in real time

- parallel training: all the trainees run the same unit in parallel, with no interactions.

Key Benefits

• Increased operator efficiency, specifically emergency response training.

• Start-up training and shut-down scenarios.

• Automated scoring scheme allows for unattended, fully documented training sessions

• Granular security scheme allowing for remote training administration

• Compatible with OSHA 1910.119 recommendation.

Capabilities

Simulation can rigorously simulate the process, based on the operator training board scope. Cape Software can provide the modeling capabilities thanks to a team of highly competent chemical engineers with various fields of expertise. 

Special operations (start-up and shut-down) can be studied and practiced off-line, at different upset conditions requested by the trainer. 

Various levels of difficulty are easily managed from the Course Management System.

Operator Responses to process upsets can be logged and a grade can be assigned based on post-run log analysis.

The scoring scheme is customized to the dynamics of your process and real world operations procedures.
