Overview
The DataMesh Simulator Platform offers flexible training solutions with 6DOF, 3DOF, and simplified non-movement versions. Using digital twins and immersive simulations, it enhances learning efficiency, reduces equipment wear, and minimizes risks for tower crane, forklift, rotary drilling rig, deep well casing drilling rig, excavator, and other equipment operator training.

Platform Options
Full Experience (6DOF)
Built on top of a 6-DOF motion platform, full physics, audio, and vibration simulation. Can leverage the machine's original cab and real operating system interface with no experience trade-off.
Breaking Training Barrier (3DOF)
Traditional heavy equipment training requires in-person trainers. Travel costs, trainer costs, and language barriers hurt efficiency. With self-instructed courses and multi-language support, costs can be driven down significantly.
Simplified Version
Non-movement desktop version for basic familiarization and cognitive training without motion hardware.
Equipment Coverage
DataMesh Simulator supports construction and heavy equipment training scenarios including tower cranes, forklifts, rotary drilling rigs, deep well casing drilling rigs, excavators, and customer-specific equipment programs. The training experience is configured around the target machine, controls, task sequence, assessment criteria, and required hardware form factor.
Public Steam Reference Version
DataMesh also publishes Operator Training: Heavy Equipment on Steam as a simplified public reference version of the Simulator experience. It is useful for seeing the training concept, interaction flow, and digital twin-based equipment practice in a lightweight form, but it should not be confused with the professional Simulator systems we deliver for enterprise and education customers with custom hardware, motion platforms, cabins, controls, content, and assessment requirements.
Customer Deployments
SANY — 6-DOF Drill Rig Simulator
SANY is one of the heavy machinery industry leaders. Overseas heavy machinery training and support poses a challenge to further business growth due to the lack of professional operator training. Based on the DataMesh Simulator Platform, 6-DOF Drill Rig Simulator training was delivered for multiple models.
Sunward — Rotation Drill Training
Sunward adopted DataMesh Simulator to train operators on rotation drills and other complex machinery using immersive digital twin technology. The platform reduced training time while minimizing risks and costs by enabling virtual, step-by-step practice.
Deployment Locations
- Beijing, China
- Changsha, Hunan, China
Typical Outcomes
Teams use this workflow to validate operational value through a focused pilot: better visibility, more consistent execution, cleaner records, faster handoffs, and clearer decision evidence. Exact impact depends on site scope, data readiness, workflow maturity, and rollout depth.
