Construction and agricultural equipment manufacturers face mounting pressure to train operators and technicians faster, safer, and more consistently—while dealing with rising equipment costs, shrinking labor pools, increasing safety requirements, and limited access to machines for training. Traditional training methods struggle to scale, expose expensive equipment to damage, use costly consumables, and often place novice operators into high-risk situations far too early.

In this session, Greg Meyers, CEO of ForgeFX Simulations, will explore how VR-based simulation training is being used by leading equipment manufacturers to directly address these challenges. Drawing on real-world projects developed for brands such as John Deere, JLG, Vermeer, Komatsu, and others, the talk will examine common business problems across construction and agricultural sectors, the VR solutions designed to solve them, and the measurable outcomes achieved—from reduced damage and faster operator ramp-up to improved safety and training consistency.

Attendees will gain a clear understanding of where VR simulation delivers real return on investment, how it integrates with existing training ecosystems and how production-ready simulators deliver impressive results.
