Revolutionizing evaluation of new concepts, Product Development and Operator Training via simulation

Challenges and solutions : Creanex Oy has developed advanced snow groomer and excavator simulators , integrating cutting - edge THEIA - XR concepts such as laser projection , depth monitor displays , and intuitive LED bars . These innovations deliver real - time , actionable feedback to operators , transforming training into an immersive , data - rich experience . The simulators feature a unified terrain modification system , enabling realistic excavation and snow grooming scenarios that can be precisely repeated for consistent evaluation and benchmarking . With scenario - based testing , every training session becomes a controlled experiment — operators can revisit identical tasks , ensuring measurable progress and reliable results . These simulators are not just training tools ; they LinkedIn are powerful platforms for product development and integration testing . Automated , continuous testing in both Software - in - the - Loop ( SiL ) and Hardware - in - the - Loop ( HiL ) environments accelerates innovation and ensures robust system performance . Impact : The snow groomer simulator , developed in partnership with Prinoth AG , opens new markets for Creanex Oy and sets a new standard for operator training . By embedding THEIA - XR features , Creanex simulators now offer enhanced , on - line information , empowering operators to master complex machinery with confidence and efficiency . This leap forward positions Creanex as a leader in next - generation simulation technology , driving productivity , safety , and operational excellence . This work is part of the THEIA project that received funding from the European Union‘s Horizon Europe research and innovation program under grant agreement no. 101092861.
