As reported on PACE, the market for Operator Training Simulator (OTS) is expected to grow significantly over the next years. Due to the lack of experience of new workers and a high rate of rotation in the workforce the use of Operator Training Simulators will increase in the process industries like the metals and mining industry.
Decisions being made at the management and corporate level, notably in the nuclear, oil and gas, metals and mining, and other sectors, are to invest in operator training to reduce risks and increase safety and performance.
The expected turnover of personnel and the loss of decades of knowledge and experience are forcing companies to build more robust training programs.
Process simulation training is vital for preventing incidents and accidents and understanding how to respond to worst-case scenarios in real life.
