A new wheel loader simulation system from Simformotion LLC is set in a quarry environment, and features a three-monitor configuration, simulating visibility in all directions. The addition of a motion system enhances the experience, because the operator feels vibration and movement as the simulated loader interacts with the quarry terrain.

Plant simulation software aids in plant management, and bridges the gap between theoretical and actual production capability. When asked about their operating plant's capabilities, most aggregate producers either know exactly how much material the plant makes, but don't know what it is capable of making – or they know what the plant's …
