FEATURES Interactive Mimic Diagram

3D Virtual Reality
• Familiarisation support
• Standard and advanced operation, including troubleshooting
• Familiarisation with engine room sounds
• Access to local posts from 3D visualisation
Imitation of Local Operation Posts in Machinery
Systems can be controlled from the unified diagram. Appearance
replicates standard control mimics found on real vessels.
Imitation of Local Manual Control from Machinery
Compartments
Control ability is available directly from individual system pages or from
3D visual model.

Compartments Zoom function enables using large and extensive diagrams.

• Trainee selects a starting point and a point of destination
• A video from a real vessel is displayed showing a walk-through to the
destination from MCR
• On arrival trainee can operate the selected local operation post
• Once in the machinery space, 3D visuals allow the student to move to an
individual piece of equipment and operate it. This eliminates the need
for “gaming” experience to navigate to a given location. It also adds real
time constraints into full mission resource management exercises

Management Level Training

Advanced level training abilities have been increased through a more
flexible and greater range of malfunction capabilities with ERS 5000
models.
• Parameterisation is meant for adjustment of ME Governor,
temperature controllers and simulation of different pumps, coolers,
heaters, filters and conditions of units by instructor or trainee
Integration with navigational simulator for crew • Conditions could be changed both in initial state before exercise
resource management training start and in online mode during an exercise
The joint training of engineering personnel and deck officers in a single
environment solves the following tasks: Graphic presentation
• Combustion process with adjustments
• Training of efficient and well-coordinated cooperation between the
engine room and bridge crews at it is onboard the real ship • Trend curves of all physical parameters
• Understanding of the complexity of all onboard equipment and
interactions
• Training for emergency situations
• Advanced equipment familiarisation necessary due to the increased
level of automation on board ships, where modern engine monitoring
and control devices are installed on the bridge (in accordance with
the IMO ‘Watch 1’standard)

Hardware Virtual Dedicated Hardware panel (VDHW) – control

To simulate the vessel interior with greater realism and thus further by touch screen display:
improve the efficiency of training, ERS 5000 can be supplied with full- • Relatively low cost
size control consoles comprising built-in monitoring and control panels.
• Realistic presentation of equipment
To better match training goals and budget, several hardware options are
available: • Possibility to reconfigure on the run for different ships with different
controls

Transas standard and customised dedicated control panels

Combination of real dedicated panels with virtual

dedicated panels
To allow several ship models to be simulated using the same full mission
simulator infrastructure ERS 5000 provides a virtual hardware option.
Large flat touch screen displays replicate the main switchboards and
switchboard generator controls.
