HOUSTON, TX, June 11, 2014 – Plant Design Solutions announced a new partnership with Fitiri Energy to market its Full Immersion Training Simulator (FITS) platform. While focused to support EPC’s and owners with CADWorx and CAESAR II, Plant Design Solutions keeps an eye on latest applications and looks to partner with firms that are harnessing emerging technology such as DotProduct with the DPI-7 Imager.
Fitiri’s 3D simulator platform combines decades of experience from the oil and gas sector into an intelligent industrial gaming environment. The development team at Fitiri builds the client’s offshore platforms and existing refineries within the gaming platform at nearly half the budget of traditional solutions and weeks (if not months) ahead of schedule.
The facilities are easily navigated via an avatar with Oculus headset, a tablet, and/or PC & laptop. As simulators are used in military and flight training, the 3D Full Immersion platform on a mobile device makes the entry point very accessible whether you are in a large refinery or small lubricants plant.
Along with the oil and gas facilities, Fitiri Energy has created a state of the art platform for interacting with heavy equipment in three dimensions, on computer and mobile devices, allowing the end user to deepen their understanding of the inner workings of complex equipment such as compressors, pumps and turbines. SOP’s are integrated and individual parts can be ordered on demand, from a mobile device.
There is great concern for the oil and gas industry to find the best people and getting them well trained them in a short period of time. As an industry committed to safety, significant hours are dedicated each year training new and existing facility staff. Owner/Operators and EPC’s will see faster on boarding of new staff where piping designers and engineers are working on CADWorx for fabrication drawings with Isogen and leveraging the which ultimately help maintain in Fitiri Energy’s 3D Full Immersion Safety and Technical Training solution.
“We were amazed the first time navigating Fitiri’s virtual refinery with the Oculus headset. Could envision hiring a new operator in the gulf coast and train them in facilities from the North Sea to Western Australia. There is so much potential with Fitiri’s learning platform, we look forward to getting more clients introduced to their technology.” states Kevin Murphy, director of sales with Plant Design Solutions.
