Somero is passionate about the success of their customers, which is why they have created the Somero Concrete Institute, a comprehensive training facility dedicated to providing education on Somero’s products and offering unparalleled education and support. The S-22 EZ Laser Screed Training Simulator, developed by ForgeFX Simulations, will be the latest training experience to be offered by Somero, as they strive to deliver unparalleled learning opportunities through a mix of theoretical knowledge and practical, hands-on training.

S-22EZ Advanced Laser Screed® Machine Simulator

ForgeFX Simulations works closely with Somero subject matter experts to develop their S-22EZ Advanced Laser Screed® Machine Simulator training program. This highly realistic, interactive, and engaging training simulation application significantly enhances the learning of operators by immersing them in a fully virtual environment that contains a detailed and accurate digital 3D replica of the S-22 Laser Screed® Machine. Taking advantage of Meta’s Quest mixed reality hardware, the simulator delivers users simulated physical controls, buttons, and feedback mechanisms that afford the ability to rapidly become familiar with the machine, learn and master the controls and maintenance techniques, and comprehend the fundamentals of using the equipment properly and effectively. Utilizing Meta Quest’s superior hand-tracking capabilities provides for a more fully immersive experience, where users have a greater sense of presence and agency.

ForgeFX Simulations at World of Concrete 2018

ForgeFX Simulations is excited to be exhibiting at World of Concrete this year, January 22-26, 2018, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. World of Concrete is the largest annual international event dedicated to concrete and masonry professionals. Boasting more than 50,000 attendees and 1,500 exhibiting companies, World of Concrete showcases products, technology, resources, and information related to concrete construction.

ForgeFX is proud to be exhibiting at World of Concrete this year, demonstrating our industrial equipment training simulators and how they can be leveraged by the concrete and masonry industry. This year, one of the simulators we'll be demonstrating is the VR Equipment Training Simulator that ForgeFX Simulations developed for JLG Industries.


Be sure to stop by booth #C7629 to meet the ForgeFX team, and try your hand at operating one of our virtual training simulators. Simulators are ideal tools for training heavy equipment operators to operate sophisticated concrete machinery. They are cost-effective, safe, and efficient methods for training all concepts and skills from controls familiarization to procedure compliance.

If you'll be attending World of Concrete this year, please contact ForgeFX Simulations to schedule an appointment to operate one of our virtual reality training simulators, or just stop by booth #C7629. We'll see you at the show!
