Raymond Virtual Reality Simulator Wins a Plant Engineering Product of the Year Award

July 9, 2019
No Comments

Plant Engineering magazine has named The Raymond Virtual Reality Simulator a Product of the Year winner in the Productivity and Training category by Plant Engineering magazine. The award recognizes new products that are advancing innovation in the manufacturing industry, and the magazine chose winners across numerous categories.

The Raymond Virtual Reality Simulator is an advanced tool for lift truck operators that provides hands-on education to improve skills in a virtual environment without disrupting a warehouse's day-to-day operations. Multiple awards have recognized the impact the Simulator has on supporting continued operator learning.

"With nearly 2.4 million manufacturing jobs unfilled by 2028, the skills gap is a challenge we take very seriously, and the Raymond Virtual Reality Simulator is one tool that our customers have found to be extremely useful in remedying it," said Stacey Patch, business manager for the Raymond Virtual Reality Simulator, The Raymond Corporation. "The ability to learn and reinforce skills in a nontraditional way in this virtual environment has proven to be popular with operators."

The Raymond Virtual Reality Simulator plugs into a Raymond® forklift's patent-pending sPort, or Simulation Port, enabling participation in a simulated warehousing environment. The forklift can then be returned to operation when education is complete, eliminating the need to purchase separate equipment.
