Hands-on industrial electrical troubleshooting skills development training
For over twenty years, Simutech has been helping people develop and maintain their electrical troubleshooting skills for use in a variety of industries including the food & beverage, automotive, and other manufacturing sectors.
Improve plant reliability
Ensure that your operation is running smoothly with properly maintained equipment. Reduce equipment downtime, dramatically lower the cost of repairs and boost your bottom line.
Prioritize safety
Instill a culture of safety in your organization with our simulation software. Keep your workers safe when learning how to troubleshoot hazardous electrical equipment.
Train employees faster
Overcome the skilled labor shortage by getting your maintenance employees quickly and properly trained in the complex skill of electrical troubleshooting.
Simutech’s Troubleshooting Skills Training System™
Our complete training system includes 6 interactive modules with software simulations ranging from basic electrical circuits to systems with PLC controls. With numerous realistic simulations and over 240 fault-finding challenges, it’s easy to learn and maintain a proven troubleshooting process you can use time and time again.
Practice troubleshooting a wide range of problems including opens, shorts, overloads, single-phasing and more! Our course manager makes it painless to track your staff’s progress along the way to identify areas in need of improvement.
“The software is working out great. It’s worth making sure that our new maintenance people go through the programs and now it’s going to be a mandatory part of their training. I’ve seen the difference in the few people I’ve run through. The more practice I can get these new troubleshooters the better.”
