Enquiring about: Construction Simulation – Fully Custom Computers
The Challenges:
Meet strict height and depth requirements to allow for integration underneath the seat of the construction simulator operative, without impacting on performance
Achieve a high level of robustness to deal with the rigours associated with onsite training, training schools and transit
environments, including continual human usage
On-screen simulator images must be high quality to reflect real-life scenarios with components fixed securely in place to counteract damage in transit
Maximise consistency throughout build revisions and ensure platforms arrive ready for application use
The Solution
Innovative custom form factor designed to support high end GPUs, while minimising the footprint allows the unit to fit under the seat of
the operator and not impede functionality
An anodised cold-rolled steel chassis delivers the increased robustness required to endure
mishandling in transit
Specification of high-end GPU and CPUs generate lifelike simulation images
A custom-designed clamp holds the GPU securely in place, allowing for reliable operation and providing suitable protection
against transit-related issues
A riser card allows for horizontal integration of the GPU to meet the customer’s dimension requirements
Conduction of software imaging, configuration and testing ensures the platforms arrive application-ready, achieving consistency
throughout build revisions
The Outcome
Component selection, obsolescence management and change control optimises the longevity of the application for 5-7 years
The customer remarked on how impressed they were that the platform survived continuous global transportation and rough handling
Full ISO documentation and component traceability ensures consistency and quality of supply, providing the customer with peace of mind that there will be no issues relative to installation, service or support
The customer benefits from a reliable computing platform to run their simulators at a cost-effective pricepoint
