Operator OTS - header

Training personnel quickly and safely to meet startup schedules

The Metris Operator Training Simulator (OTS) works in the same way as a flight simulator, providing operators with realistic, hands-on training modules — reducing the risk to both themselves and customer equipment. ANDRITZ is the world's leading high-fidelity process modeling and simulation software for the Pulp industry.

OTS KEY PROJECT AREAS

OTS instructor module

It can help train operators months before the actual plant is up and running. It helps produce better-trained operators - who will start up new processes faster, react more wisely to plant upsets, and be more productive.

The OTS instructor contains preconfigured scenarios that teach, train, and challenge trainees on process upsets, including two of the most intensive and 

In most cases, such a scenario would have significant safety, environmental, or production consequences, but a new operator, who has practiced start-up and shutdown on the OTS, immediately makes the correct decisions and the operation continues without incidents.

CASE STUDY

In a case study, a standardized test with 300 questions was developed to test competency when comparing simulation-based versus instructor-led training. Questions were given in three intervals: once before any training, once after the classroom, then once again after the Operator Training Simulation, these were the results:

  • Competency before any training: 20.3%
  • Competency after classroom: 26.7%
  • Competency with OTS: 85.0%
