Excavator Inspection

An excavator is a crawler hydraulic machine used widely in construction, demolition, and excavation projects. Before every shift, a thorough inspection is essential to ensure the operator's and coworkers’ safety.

Beyond safety, a proper inspection improves equipment reliability, longevity, and performance.

Our AR simulator allows operators to inspect life-size excavators in their real-world environment—right from a smartphone or tablet. Zero risk, full realism.

An Immersive Simulator

The training scenarios are presented using photorealistic 3D visuals in augmented reality, offering a highly realistic, zero-risk learning environment. The user can walk around a full-size excavator projected into their physical space—office, home, or training room—and inspect it from every angle.

Unlike traditional video or checklist-based training, this interactive format encourages active learning, precise visual scanning, and intuitive decision-making. The virtual excavator is fully interactive and responds just like a real one—including moving parts, operational controls, realistic sounds, and lighting systems.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the main components of an excavator
• Perform a full pre-operation visual inspection
• Identify critical issues: cracks, leaks, missing parts, wear
• Reinforce safety habits and inspection best practices

Target Audience

• Excavator operators
• Maintenance personnel
• Safety trainers and heavy equipment instructors

Training Scenario

Users inspect two full-scale excavators projected into their real environment using their device camera. The 3D models are photo-realistic and include randomized defects in each session.

Trainees must examine the machine from all sides to find:

• Cracks or damaged teeth on the bucket
• Track wear, damaged sprockets, or pads
• Hydraulic fluid leaks, worn hoses
• Defective cylinders or cracked boom
• Missing bolts or steps

Why choose this AR simulator?

• Mobile and risk-free training
• Life-size visuals in real-world context
• Interactive faults for unlimited practice
• Designed with input from field professionals
