Simulator Cab

This one-of-a-kind simulator is a perfect replica of the Cleereman cab, accurately recreated in virtual reality. Every control, every interface, and every detail matches the real machine, giving operators an authentic experience from the comfort of a safe, controlled environment.

Built with Real Components: This is not a video game or a software demonstration. The simulator uses the exact hardware installed in working mills, including the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), RMC Motion Controller, HMI touchscreen displays, and operator consoles. When you sit down at the simulator, your hands are on the same controls that would be shipped to your mill. This isn’t an approximation, it’s the real thing. Cleereman Controls President, Stefan Dracobly was the mastermind behind this exciting project.

The cab features the same joysticks and control panels operators use every day, and three 70″ TV screens provide a fully immersive simulation of a working sawmill. Powered by advanced technology, it copies the sights, sounds, and challenges of real operations, allowing users to practice complex maneuvers, navigate operational scenarios, and familiarize themselves with every control. It also runs the same control programs we’ve developed and refined for sawmills across North America, so the response to every action is exactly how it would behave on a real machine. This gives operators an authentic hands-on experience while eliminating the risks or wear associated with live equipment.

This simulator isn’t just a showcase of technology; it’s a practical tool that demonstrates Cleereman’s commitment to safety, precision, and operator success. By offering hands-on training that feels as real as it gets, without the stakes, it helps operators build confidence, sharpen skills, and prepare for real-world challenges. As operators improve their abilities
through repeated practice in the simulator, they can reach their full potential more quickly, making better decisions and performing tasks more efficiently.
