Valmet Training Simulator
High-fidelity simulators for training, testing and verification
Boost performance with highly realistic simulations of your operations.
Smoother and faster start-up
Safe procedure and scenario training
Testing of DCS before start-up
Safe and realistic procedure and scenario training
Valmet Training Simulators are effective training tools for operators and other mill staff. As part of Valmet’s integrated training package, these highly realistic simulators play a vital role in ensuring successful start-up and efficient long-term operation of key process and machine modules.
DCS verification and loop tuning before start-up
Detect process control errors before they affect operation by testing the DCS using our fully dynamic process simulators. Make sure your control strategies are up to date to avoid unplanned shutdowns. Make sure all shift teams follow the same operational strategies by practicing procedures and scenarios in the simulator. By introducing disturbances to the simulations your team can train troubleshooting and get ready to handle operational upsets before they cause severe effects.
Valmet Training Simulator has been the differentiating factor – not only does it support operator training, it also enables testing of new control loops even before the plant is in operation”
Reduce start-up and onboarding times
Taking personnel through highly realistic simulations is a proven way to shorten onboarding and start-up times. Valmet Training Simulator contributes to the overall success of the project as the facility reaches planned capacity faster.
Once in place, the simulators play a vital role in ensuring efficient long-term operations as well. Teams learn how to operate new machines and processes faster, giving operators much needed knowledge and confidence even before they reach the control room.
Integrate simulators to any control system
Valmet Training Simulator runs on an independent software platform that uses real design data to create high-fidelity process models. Training supervisors have a full range of tools for scenario building, operator tests and certification, as well as reporting.
Using a standard interface, the simulator can integrate with any distributed control system (DCS). The digital copy of your DCS combined with real design data creates an unparalleled experience for learners and trainers alike.
Valmet Training Simulator is part of Valmet’s learning services offering and helps you maintain a high-performance level for operators over a facility’s lifespan.
Our customers' experiences
The time between discovering a problem and solving it is much shorter compared with if the training had been done with traditional classroom training only. The reliability of the plant is higher when using the simulators from Valmet.
The training in general, and specifically the use of the Valmet simulator, gave a very fast start-up with significantly increased production during the first month. No production losses at all on the board machine."
Process simulation and interactive multi-media training provided by Valmet were invaluable ingredients needed to bring the operators up to a high level of proficiency before startup."
The whole training program, including the DCS-based simulator, is a good investment over time. A couple of avoided unplanned production stops give a fast payoff."
