  • UTTO’s innovative Virtual Locate Simulator and Certification Platform is designed for field-tech training. It improves the quality of training while dramatically decreasing training time.
  • The virtual reality (VR) training studio uses advanced technology to simulate real-world locate scenarios under true electromagnetic signal conditions. 
  • The 3D portable studio can be set up anywhere in as little as 5 minutes and allows students to be trained, and if required certified, in the craft of locating underground assets. 
  • Trainers can create scenarios, adjusts metrics to be taught or certified and then walk student through their resulting performance reports. 
  • As your technicians advance through the simulator, they are given personal performance metrics. 
  • Identify your field technicians strengths and weaknesses and make the necessary improvements, in a controlled environment, long before costly asset damage occurs in the field. 
  • Then as your technicians transition into the field, leverage UTTO’s Locate Assurance® technology to get an accurate and a crystal-clear measurement of your Team’s on-site performance 

NOTE: Complex digital conversions of electromagnetic field vectors are converted and coupled into the Locator device’s antenna channels - the device behaves exactly as it would in a real-world environment, giving the operator the confidence and challenges of a true locate experience.
