Honeywell UniSim Competency Suite operator training system

Honeywell Process Solutions has announced its UniSim Competency Suite, designed to improve operator competency and help prepare process industry operators faster through realistic training experiences.

In the near future, many operators at industrial plants in developed countries will retire, while process industries in emerging economies will continue to face the challenge of critical skill shortages.

The UniSim Competency Suite features existing simulation models as well as new technologies, among which is UniSim Operations, an operator training simulator (OTS), providing a dynamic plant simulation that allows users to accelerate knowledge transfer by consolidating an entire lifetime of experience into a concise process training curriculum. It features realistic process, control and safety systems modelling.

UniSim Curriculum is a customisable competency model that aligns and assists in improving critical requisite skills and behaviours and tracks operator progress. It is built from Abnormal Situation Management Consortium’s research into operator competency to help businesses define, deploy and manage a structured competency program.

UniSim Tutor is a knowledge capture and propagation tool that provides a repository for domain knowledge and experience, making it possible to teach and evaluate ‘what if’ reflexes and diagnostic abilities.

UniSim Field View is an interactive, navigable, panoramic view for realistic field operator training - using actual facility photographs - and extends UniSim Operations simulator training to include field operators.

UniSim 3D Connect provides UniSim Operations simulator integration and connectivity to a 3D virtual environment to provide credible and realistic experiences for field operator.
