Summary
5 years ago and for a trade show, we develop a game that was to operate a backhoe and dig the largest amount of land as possible in a given time. It was the boom in the construction sector, which could not cope and whose workers came from all over the world, often without the necessary training for certain types of equipment.
We were surprised, based on play and play we had learned to operate the machine and soon customers have demanded the product as a tool to train their workers before uploading them to the actual machines. The simulation area was and is clearly emerging. No one knows a priori what a simulator can offer, and their investments by clients are very limited. Only for an exhaustive search for suppliers and a strategy of partnership with them we have managed to develop products with the quality and performance required at a cost that enables the foray into this world even to organizations that handle meager budgets. "Lowcost simulators, virtual training tools available to everyone, that is our motto.
Today, we have implemented more than 20 simulators of different characteristics in different centers spread throughout the country and we can say we know what kind of solutions required in the sector. We have developed several product ranges for different types of machinery and we have even begun to develop tools for other features as well as for other sectors. We are constantly seeking, adapting and developing new solutions that improve our products and examples of this are, for example, our motion platforms electromechanical maintenance and low cost without the emerging virtual reality project in context, a project being developed in collaboration with the Department of Telematics Engineering of the University Carlos III of Madrid and aims to create a new type of product and concept in highly immersive simulation.
David Moran (Simumak, http://www.simumak.com ) is a Telecommunications Engineer (Telematics) by UC3M and embarked five years ago with David Closet in creating a company dedicated to the development of simulators and tools virtual training for those sectors that require skilled workers in different disciplines. His research interests currently focus on the development of immersive virtual reality systems which can be applied mixed with commercial simulators.
David Closet (Simumak, http://www.simumak.com )'s degree in business from the Universidad Complutense. SIMUMAK founded five years ago with David Moran. After 10 years in the machinery sector, a sector well known for which is now working on designing and developing virtual training tools.
