Virtual Proving Ground (VPG) helps you to test and evaluate the comfort, safety & performance of machines and their subsystems using virtual prototyping 

Mining Machine

Build, test, iterate, build, test, iterate, ...

Deliver an optimal product configuration that is
         
safe, comfortable, durable & sustainable

Testing virtual models with different configurations in virtual terrains with all possible test scenarios

Safety shouldn't end with regulations

Minimize the chances of mishaps, setbacks & accidents dramatically

Running several tests covering extreme conditions can reveal a configuration / variant / operating strategy that operates safely in hazardous situations

Virtual Proving Ground mimics a variety of real-world scenarios, such as different road surfaces, weather conditions, and driving behaviors. It can be customized to replicate real-world test tracks or specific driving conditions 

See a demonstration of a tipping safety model in this video of a crawler crane operating on uneven ground.

Reduce operation & driving stress and physical exhaustion during long use

Identify vibration sources & its path from the ground >> tires >> suspensions >> body >> cabin >> seat.

Optimize with
parametrization & configurations

The life of the product defines it's quality!

Increase the product life, ease of maintenance & operational continuity

Evaluate the loads and stresses on various machine parts while running them in the proving ground conditions

Construction Site

Meet customer requirements with hybrid & electric products

Optimize the machine through battery management, electric drives & electro-mechanical parts under various driving and operational conditions
