As the leading manufacturer of control and data visualization systems, Mauell Corporation is uniquely qualified to create custom, high-fidelity reproductions of real-life command and control centers for training simulation.
Calling upon more than 50 years of design, fabrication, and construction expertise, our team has built and installed a wide variety of training simulators that have helped successfully prepare thousands of personnel for critical roles in the following areas.
- Defense
- Nuclear power generation
- Utility operations
Realism is the core requirement of simulators. To efficiently and effectively teach the skills needed to perform critical roles within a dispatch center, control room, or military vessel, the training equipment must mimic the look, feel, and location of every display, button, switch, lever, indicator, and working environment.
Savvy organizations know that knowledge is power. Equipping newly trained candidates with the skill and information that enables them to be self-confident and competent, ultimately pays consistent dividends to shareholders and clients.
Expertly trained and well-informed personnel inherently increase their most important asset, safe and predictive decision-making. The question is what is the cost and impact of not supplying the best possible training program and simulation center?
Strategic, Confirmed, Accelerated Learning Utilizing High-Fidelity Simulations
High-fidelity training simulators have proven to reduce the training time of new employees by up to 66% while offering a vehicle for the certification testing of existing personnel.
Accurate training is also important for explicitly following the established operational policies and procedures. Additionally, oversight of generation, transmission, and distribution also demands a high level of awareness, skill, and competence.
Helping to Qualify and Prepare Your Personnel for High-Stress, High-Stakes Situational Awareness
Recognizing the essential role that true-to-life monitor and control room experiences play in preparing personnel to make high-pressure decisions that have critical consequences.
The Mauell team supports this vital training by collaborating with our clients and their engineering teams to reproduce authentic training experiences with an exceptional degree of accuracy.
Our high-fidelity training simulators and components offer our clients purposeful training options and benefits, including
- Supplying training that accurately mimics real-life monitoring and control room conditions and quickly readies trainees to assume roles and be productive on day one.
- Reducing training times from months to weeks by creating immersive simulated experiences that speed up skill and knowledge acquisition. Additionally, simulation scenarios can be modified for specific roles and operations.
- Training candidates through failures to teach the causes and effects of decision-making in ways that are not possible and potentially lethal in real-life settings.
- Generate real-time training scenarios to train, test, record, and certify personnel as well as simulate engineering modifications or process control changes. Replication of real-time failures, faults, or outages for event analysis.
- High reliability 24 x 7 x 365 rated systems and components to ensure simulator availability year after year. Adding additional systems increase training capacity and allow for upgrades to existing simulation centers without affecting training schedules.
- Solutions are budget conscious and designed to supply year after year of reliable service. As a leading source for replicating obsolete components, we spend significant effort to control the replacement cost of constructing or changing simulation technology.
- Systems using fabricated structures, authentic or engineered I&C components, soft visualization display panels, and integrated data or I/O control systems. All systems and components detail, all engineered to replicate the reference system’s original environment, operation, or individual components.
- I/O mapping and specialized power and data wiring connector and terminations, designed to meet local code and national standards.
- Complete project management with third-party vendors including construction companies and specialized software vendors to ensure the coordinated fabrication, part validation, system testing, and delivery schedules are realized.
- Supply a quality resource for obsolete components including reverse engineering of critical components and replicated graphical imagery.
Our Role in Your Training Success
At Mauell, our greatest strength is our engineering. With minimal information, our team can design, or reverse engineer your training simulator with impeccable fidelity.
From there we will take the design from approved engineering drawings to fabrication and commissioning all under one roof. When you choose Mauell to build your training simulator, you get a single-source partner that offers start-to-finish services that include:
- Complete in-house design, engineering, and metal fabrication services
- Reverse engineering from your photos and/or drawings or site discovery
- In-house security protocols to manage your confidential engineering details
- Targeted fidelity including attention to every detail, from matching paint colors to the component placement, switch and meter movement, component tactile feel and sound, indicator color and intensity, panel graphics and nomenclature, display resolution and mounting, and multi-touchpoint integration
- Sourcing parts no longer available and/or building parts from scratch
- Coordination with your other control room vendors as needed
- Recorded factory testing and acceptance
- Packing, protection, and shipping of system/components to the site
- Installation or supervisory support of the system through start-up and commissioning
- Factory supported warranty and optional maintenance services
The goal is to design and build a reliable and resilient training tool that helps you prepare your personnel to move seamlessly from simulation to the real world as quickly and efficiently as possible. From our +30,000 square foot factory in Pennsylvania, Mauell has conducted exactly that goal repeatedly.
The opportunity to discuss your simulator needs is exciting and the team at Mauell welcomes the potential of adding you to our esteemed list of clients.
