In addition to industrial-relevant training, the Skill Boss Logistics is the required assessment device for three of MSSC’s Certified Technician – Supply Chain Automation (CT-SCA) certifications: Equipment Maintenance (CTSCA-EM), Equipment Repair (CTSCA-ER), and Network Repair (CTSCA-NR). Individuals who earn all three certifications receive a full “Automation Master” recognition award.

Built upon the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC) well-established Certified Production Technician (CPT) Certification, the CPT+ Skill Boss program is designed to prepare certificants with the next generation skills to work in a computer-driven, data-intensive advanced manufacturing workplace.

The centerpiece of this new program is a transformational training device, invented by Amatrol, that enables MSSC to offer hands-on training and assessment as an enhancement to its signature CPT training and certification system. The “Skill Boss” is described as a computer-controlled machine that performs a wide variety of functions aligned with 55+ skills drawn from the MSSC’s National Production Standards.

Amatrol’s Tabletop Mechatronics is a portable, durable, affordable learning system that forms a fully automated line to teach real-world mechatronics skills.

Simlog’s construction-focused Personal Simulators offer a safe, cost-effective way to train operators on essential heavy equipment, including excavators, bulldozers, wheel loaders, skid steer loaders, backhoe loaders, and forklifts. These simulators are ideal for CTE programs, union apprenticeships, industrial pre-apprenticeship programs, and onsite training within construction companies or manufacturing environments.

With industry-standard controls, real-time performance feedback, and alignment to national training standards such as NCCER in the U.S., Simlog simulators help learners develop the core skills needed to pass practical exams and operate safely and productively on modern job sites. Whether used by regional contractors, global EPCM firms, or internal corporate training teams, Simlog tools build operator confidence across a wide range of earth-moving and material handling tasks—supporting safety, efficiency, and workforce development.
