Through this partnership, Verra Mobility will offer its fleet customers the ability to improve claims processing speed and accuracy by automatically aggregating connected vehicle data and analyzing trips in near-real time to better detect and manage collision events.

“Incident management is a time-consuming, manual and painstaking process for fleet owners and fleet management companies,” said Steve Lalla, Executive Vice President of Verra Mobility’s Commercial Services division. “Xtract’s innovative approach to simplify and automate incident management is a perfect complementary fit in our suite of fleet solutions. Verra Mobility believes data generated from connected vehicles will increasingly enable more efficient solutions to benefit fleet operators, and incident reconstruction is a crucial use case for how data can be used to save fleets time and money.”

Through the Xtract platform, fleet managers will receive an instant notification when a collision occurs involving one of their vehicles so they can proactively manage the incident and reduce risk.

“A fleet of any size needs immediate incident notification, incident reconstruction, and a rapid response plan,” said Tim McCarthy, EVP of Business Development at Xtract. “We developed Xtract’s AI-powered platform to detect and interpret telematics data to take the stress out of the entire process from reporting all the way through to insurance claim resolution. We are excited to partner with Verra Mobility to reduce operational expenses and mitigate risk for fleet customers, working together to make the lives of fleet managers easier and more profitable.”

By

Simformotion™ LLC, a leader in heavy equipment simulator training solutions, announces the release of the new Cat® Simulators Hydraulic Mining Shovel System.

PEORIA, Ill., Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Simformotion™ LLC – a leader in heavy equipment simulator training solutions – announces the release of the new Cat® Simulators Hydraulic Mining Shovel System. Operator trainees can utilize the system inside a classroom or at satellite mine locations.

“The new Hydraulic Mining Shovel simulator system is the cornerstone of our Cat Simulators mining models. The system trains students and operators using authentic Cat controls and teaches applications found on real-world job sites,” says CEO Lara Aaron.

The hands-on training system is set in a mining environment and teaches learners how to operate the Hydraulic Mining Shovel, including inspecting the machine, spotting and properly loading trucks, and more. Correct, efficient operation increases safety, production and cost savings. Simulation is a safe alternative to using actual machines for heavy equipment operator training. Students and operators can train anytime and anywhere using simulators — no need to take a costly machine out of production, worry about the weather or, most importantly, worry about the operator’s safety.

“The new Hydraulic Mining Shovel simulator system is the cornerstone of our Cat Simulators mining models. The system trains students and operators using authentic Cat controls and teaches applications found on real-world job sites. We often hear of the struggles to find skilled operators. Cat Simulators systems help companies build their own workforce,” says CEO Lara Aaron.

The Cat Simulators Hydraulic Mining Shovel system is available in multiple languages and includes SimU Campus™, a built-in reporting software that records and generates reports of learners’ simulation sessions and compares their performance to Caterpillar benchmarks. The system features authentic Cat controls, a motion system, exclusive walkaround machine inspection training, and a companion SimScholars™ curriculum, making the training package a unique offering.

The companion SimScholars online curriculum is a one-to-one match with the simulator model and can be used in the classroom or for remote learning. It is an interactive, turn-key solution complete with instructor guides, videos, quizzes and more. Integrate the Cat Simulators Hydraulic Mining Shovel system and its curriculum together for a unique, blended learning experience.

For even more training value and for a more immersive experience, add VR Edition. With the VR headset and patented VR Now technology, users experience a larger view of the virtual environment with greater depth perception. The simulator is portable and easy to move from a training room to a trailer to satellite locations.
