TENSTAR DIGGER - Excavator Simulation
Educational Concept
Excavator operator is a creative profession that optimally combines solid craftsmanship with modern technology. As in all skilled trades, it requires extensive training to become a skilled professional. With TENSTAR DIGGER you can obtain just that.
TENSTAR DIGGER offers a full-scale training tool for the education of excavator operators. Containing a full simulator with realistic audio and visual display, it provides self-instructive exercises that portray real-life construction environments. A complete guide with database logging allows for monitored feedback by the instructor.
TENSTAR DIGGER is developed in collaboration with schools that train machine operators, mechanical contractors and commissioners of construction projects.
Educational Workflow
The educational workflow is divided into five separate sections, each one optimized for a category of focused training exercises.
Section 1 - Introduction 
A series of exercises that focuses on pre-maintenance of the excavator and the functions of the levers.Section 2 - Driving 
A series of driving exercises where the operator gets the opportunity to train mobility with forward and backward driving.Section 3 - Training 
A series of excavating exercises where the operator gets the opportunity to train advanced pallet, dipper and bucket combinations.Section 4 - Safety 
A series of safety exercises where the operator needs to deal with complex real-life situations, incl. surrounding and unexpected objects like co-workers, vehicles and spectators.Section 5 - Practicing machine control 
A series of training exercises where the operator can simulate working with with machine control. Machine control offers a series advantages such as reduced engineering time and less re-work.
