Questionnaire Answers
Content Questions
Landfill environments?
ForgeFX can develop custom landfill environments and scenarios around WM’s equipment, sites, hazards, and procedures. We would define the first representative environments with WM during discovery.
Heavy equipment content?
ForgeFX has developed heavy-equipment and industrial simulators including excavator, mining shovel, horizontal directional drill, aircraft deicing, and construction/agriculture equipment training examples. WM’s priority equipment list should drive the first release.
Operations, controls, implements?
Yes. ForgeFX can train controls, implements, operating steps, guided practice, scenario tasks, feedback, and scoring. Final depth depends on the equipment, hardware, and fidelity WM wants.
Daily Equipment Inspection detail?
DEI can be built as interactive inspection training: check defined points, identify issues, make go/no-go decisions, and receive feedback.
Safety depth?
ForgeFX can build scored safety scenarios for backing, spacing, loading/staging, stop-work decisions, slopes, blind spots, fire prevention, and response behaviors.
Time to tailor content?
Timing depends on equipment count, environment fidelity, scenario count, integrations, and review cycles. A focused pilot is the best way to validate scope before scaling.
ROI metrics?
Reporting can track completion, attempts, time on task, missed inspection items, collisions/near misses, backing/spacing violations, unsafe decisions, remediation needs, and improvement over time.
Simulator-Specific Questions
Landfill scenarios?
Yes, as custom WM scenarios. We recommend starting with representative landfill work zones and expanding after pilot validation.
DEI problem finding?
Yes. The simulator can include visible, randomized, or instructor-selected defects so learners practice inspection judgment.
Rollover/fire/backing/spacing?
Yes. These are strong simulation use cases because learners can practice high-risk decisions safely before live equipment operation.
Weather / poor conditions?
Yes, if scoped. Rain, snow, ice, mud, slopes, visibility, traction, and handling changes can be represented at the fidelity needed for training.
Custom scenarios and WM authoring?
Custom scenario effort depends on reuse versus new development. WM authoring can be explored as a scoped platform feature for editing selected variables, hazards, objectives, and scoring.
