Why GlobalSim? The Student Database

All crane simulators, from low-cost games to high-end training systems allow a student to practice crane operation. A distinguishing feature of a professional crane simulator is the Student Database or Training Management System. There are several components that make a good crane simulator student database. First off, each student that operates the simulator should be able to be logged in the system. In addition to simple information such as name or employee number, the log should include a photograph, experience level, hire date, rank or job title, etc. Secondly, the log of each exercise should cover the name of the exercise and the start and stop time. A student performance is covered by recording the number of pieces of cargo moved, the number of moves per hour including the fastest and slowest move. Of course, the performance record is not complete without including errors. A good student database should also include the number and severity of collisions and how long the student took to deal with machinery malfunctions. The performance record should be detailed for specific equipment or specific tasks. Lastly, having computer generated reports allows the instructor to objectively grade the students. Each student does the same exercise. Whether it is machinery malfunctions or poor weather, they have the same objectives and can deal with the same obstacles. The instructor can grade each student fairly and the final reports can be printed or emailed for the student’s benefit. The instructor can discuss the performance on each exercise. The instructor has an objective record and can determine if the student has passed the training class or if more practice is necessary. GlobalSim Student Database includes all of these features for each of their simulators.
