CM Labs to Debut Additional Walkaround Inspection Training Packs at World of Asphalt

Anticipating the World of Asphalt show, CM Labs has revealed that the walkaround inspection training pack will be added to two of its simulators, debuting during the show. This addition will expand the company’s training and education opportunities. 

CM Labs Simulations, a vendor for simulation-based training solutions in the construction, ports, and utilities industries, announced the addition of walkaround inspection training to its Motor Grader and Articulated Dump Truck Simulator Training Packs.

This latest expansion continues CM Labs’ effort to provide a complete simulation training solution that combines a deep catalog of equipment, advanced instructor tools with detailed reporting features, and a curriculum designed for beginner and advanced operators alike.  

“Adding walkaround inspection training to the Motor Grader and Articulated Dump Truck Training Packs allows our clients to train operators on this crucial task without having to pull equipment from the field. But more than that, it allows trainees to gain concentrated practice quickly, making operations safer and more efficient. With one simulation training system, our customers gain a complete training solution,” said Lisa Barbieri, VP of marketing and strategic partnerships.

CM Labs’ walkaround inspection exercises are designed to help trainees quickly and effectively learn how to perform inspections. By offering tips and educational information at inspection points, exercises help trainees complete lessons independently and at their own pace, in addition to under the supervision of an instructor. As a result, training is faster and more effective.

In addition, CM Labs’ walkaround inspection training includes equipment malfunctions and breaks, generated at random. This exposes trainees to a wide variety of issues, preparing them for the real issues they will encounter when completing walkaround inspections on real jobsites. 

“Malfunctions and breaks don’t happen often, but when they do, you want your operators to be able to spot them,” said Alan Limoges, manager of product growth and partnerships. “Our exercises introduce malfunctions into the inspection at random, which teaches operators to remain vigilant. Also, by simply completing the walkaround inspection, they learn the various components of the machine, what each component looks like, and what they do.” 

Walkaround Inspection is now available as part of the following Intellia Training Packs: Motor Grader, Articulated Dump Truck, Mini Excavator, Backhoe, Dozer, Tracked Excavator, Wheeled Excavator, and Wheel Loader. All existing customers with AM&S agreements will also receive walkaround inspection in their Motor Grader and Articulated Dump Truck Training Packs.  

World of Asphalt attendees can experience the walkaround inspection for motor grader and articulated dump truck first-hand by visiting booth 7050, March 25-27.
