This video provides an inside look at the Portable Smart Process Sensor Learning System (990-SD20) from Amatrol—a compact, hands-on trainer designed to teach key Industry 4.0 skills. As industries embrace the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and cloud-based automation, this system offers learners experience with the smart sensor technologies driving modern process control systems.

Learners engage with a range of smart sensors, including analog pressure sensors, electromagnetic flow sensors, ultrasonic level sensors, and point level sensors. The system also includes practical applications and real-world components such as an IO-Link Master, PC-based software, and simulations for level and flow sensing. With built-in curriculum, learners gain both technical know-how and a strong conceptual understanding of IIoT, edge and cloud computing, and data analytics in industrial environments.

Municipalities and public works departments are under growing pressure to train equipment operators efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively. As heavy machinery used for road maintenance, utility repair, and emergency response becomes more advanced and expensive, the need for high-quality, standardized training is more critical than ever.

Simlog’s Personal Simulators provide city, county, regional, and state agencies with a safe, scalable solution for building operator skills without risking equipment damage or injury. These simulators replicate real-world operating conditions for equipment such as skid steer loaders, backhoes, excavators, bulldozers, wheel loaders, and forklifts—making them ideal for in-house training centers and regional workforce programs.

Designed to align with industry training standards, each simulator features exercises that develop core competencies required to pass real-world practical exams. This reduces skill variability across operators and enhances service delivery to the communities they serve. Tech-Labs proudly supports public works agencies that rely on Simlog simulators to prepare their teams for real-world tasks with confidence, consistency, and a strong commitment to safety.

  • Simlog Forklift Customer Success Story

Novelis, a global leader in sustainable aluminum solutions, turned to Simlog to elevate safety and efficiency in lift truck operations across its North American plants. After a successful pilot of the Forklift Personal Simulator at the Oswego, NY facility, Logan Aluminum—North America’s largest aluminum rolling mill—became the lead adopter. With over 85 lift trucks and 600 certified operators, Logan introduced simulator-based onboarding to reinforce safety and reduce incidents.

Using Simlog’s Forklift Personal Simulator, Logan Aluminum implemented a structured training process beginning with simulator orientation for new hires, followed by hands-on training with performance tracking. The system not only enhances skill acquisition but is also used to investigate real-world incidents and guide operator recertification. As Safety Specialist J.T. Major noted, “Our Simlog system has been very beneficial to us as we provide a safe and controlled learning environment.”

Driver Training Solutions’ Sanitation Simulator provides immersive, scenario-based training designed specifically for waste collection and sanitation fleet operators. Trainees can safely develop critical skills such as route navigation, vehicle handling, stop-and-go operations, backing, tight turns, and hazard awareness—all within a controlled virtual environment.

By removing the risks, costs, and wear associated with on-road training, organizations can deliver consistent, repeatable instruction while protecting both equipment and personnel. The simulator allows drivers to build confidence and competence before ever operating a real vehicle.

Ideal for municipalities, private waste contractors, and fleet training academies, this solution supports safer operations, reduces accident rates, and improves overall efficiency across a wide range of waste management applications.
