As today\u2019s warehousing operations face demanding delivery expectations for speed and accuracy, maximizing workforce productivity is critical. At ProMat Booth S1003, Yale Materials Handling<\/a> Corporation offers an interactive demonstration of its reach truck simulator, designed to help screen applicants based on driving skill and improve operator training.<\/p>\n

The virtual reality technology can help ease the learning curve and boosts confidence by enabling new operators to conduct exercises on a stationary truck in a low-pressure environment. Compared to starting new operators on fully operational, mobile equipment, this approach can help reduce the risk of damage to lift trucks, other equipment and facility infrastructure as a result of error during the training process.<\/p>\n

The technology also allows operations to screen applicants prior to hiring, gain a clearer view of capability, and help operations place new hires in roles best suited to their skill sets.<\/p>\n
