ARC Advisory Group market size and forecast research on Operator Training Simulators is a great way to keep up to date on what new technologies are available from the suppliers of operator training simulators. Generative AI technology has created incredibly realistic virtual reality simulations that can be viewed on the latest generation of VR headsets, on computer screens. AI is being used to generate training scenarios and optimize the learning experience. Companies are building unified learning platforms that combine the simulator with other training tools. Operator training simulators can help organizations reduce training costs by allowing operators to learn and practice new skills without the need for expensive equipment or materials. They can also help organizations reduce downtime by allowing operators to train on new equipment or processes before they are implemented in the field. Companies are building unified learning platforms that combine the simulator with other training tools, like video-based training, VR, and in-person instruction, to create a comprehensive and cohesive training program.
"New greenfield projects often will include an OTS as a part of the project deliverables and in some cases, the OTS may include a VR training simulator developed from CAD drawings. Many control systems are nearing the end of life, and rip and replace projects that deliver a new control system will often include a new or updated OTS system. Control system upgrade projects often review the existing control strategies and provide new and improved strategies to ensure controls operate in automatic mode,” according to Rick Rys, Senior Consultant and key author of ARC's Operator Training Simulators Market Research.
