AI-guided instruction to extend instructor capacity
The Tracked Excavator curriculum also includes AI Assistant support, providing both written and spoken guidance during select training scenarios. In certain exercises, the AI Assistant can briefly demonstrate correct maneuvers before returning control to the operator, helping reduce routine instructor intervention and allowing trainers to focus on higher-value coaching and assessment.
Showcased at CONEXPO-CON/ AGG 2026
CM Labs will showcase the enhanced Tracked Excavator simulation curriculum alongside new features in the Intellia Training System at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, taking place March 3-7 in Las Vegas, Nevada, in booth #N11839. Attendees can experience live demonstrations and participate in a skills-based excavator challenge using the Intellia Workforce Training System to compare performance in real time.
In addition to the live demonstrations in the CM Labs booth, Gary James, construction subject matter expert at CM Labs, will present on trench box safety, sharing practical insights into how simulation-based training can help organizations strengthen excavation practices and support compliance on real-world job sites, on Tuesday, March 3, from 2:30-3:15 OM (PT).
“Demolition is exactly the kind of work organizations struggle using traditional training methods,” said Lisa Barbieri, vice president of Marketing and Strategic Partnerships at CM Labs. “By moving those first critical experiences into simulation, we help customers build confidence and competence before anyone is exposed to job site risk or costly mistakes.”
“Every strike and cut matters in demolition, and material response is never identical,” said Alan Limoges, manager of Product Growth and Partnerships at CM Labs. “Our demolition training models concrete fracture and steel cutting based on applied force and contact angle, not scripted outcomes. That realism allows operators to practice the true nuances of demolition work and develop muscle memory that transfers to the job site.”
