Exhibit Hall C
Don’t just hear about the future of the oil sands—come experience it. Step inside the Innovation Lounge, sponsored by Alberta Innovates, where some of the technologies transforming how we work, train, monitor and operate will be live and hands-on. Operate heavy equipment more than 2,500 km away. Take the controls of advanced equipment simulators. Explore how drones are being deployed in the field. This is your chance to see, touch and operate real-world innovation—and discover how technology is changing what’s possible in the oil sands.
Finning will be demonstrating the Cat Command Remote Control Technology by operating equipment over 2,500km away. From the operator station, our operator will complete earthmoving activities with those units and have the ability to switch between multiple machine types to complete their task. Finning will also be demonstrating the SimLite for a D8 dozer which is a compact, portable simulator for training operators on the use of machines before they enter a cab. Expo attendees will have the opportunity to try the SimLite by completing tasks on our this simulator.
