Immersive crane training

To modernise crane training and boost on-site safety, Waxeye partnered with New Zealand Steel to create a VR simulator using Meta Quest 3 and real crane controls. It replicates a crane cab, letting trainees safely build skills, practise manoeuvres, and prepare for emergencies without disrupting operations.

What began as a training tool has evolved into a multi-purpose platform. It now supports recruitment, annual refresher training, and even collaborative design planning for New Zealand Steel’s upcoming electric arc furnace facility. By combining digital precision with hands-on experience, the simulator marks a new benchmark in industrial training and innovation.
