Operator Coaching

Understand when and how to use the many smart functions of your Volvo Wheel Loader to achieve optimum results on site with Load Assist’s Operator Coaching add-on. You can also set targets in order to continually improve your technique, helping to get the most out of yourself and the machine you are working with.

Maximise productivity

Volvo Load Assist is designed to boost the profitability of your operations. The related training helps operators to be as productive as possible.

Reduced wear, reduced costs

Training can help prevent unnecessary strain being put on the machine, minimizing wear and tear – hence reducing costs.

Safer operation

Training enables operators to continually refine their skills and operating practices, helping to lower the risk of incidents or accidents.

Unlock the potential

Make better decisions behind the controls thanks to instant feedback on operating behavior, combined with real-time on-screen guidance. With information available at the blink-of-an-eye, operators can ensure they are working in a way which delivers optimum productivity and fuel efficiency, as well as reduced machine wear.

You might think after 30 years doing this job that there was nothing I could be taught, but even I have changed the way I work. I now think about how I can get more out of the machine and be more profitable in the long run.

Operator coaching advanced: Coach your performance

Features

Operator Coaching comes in two different versions, Operator Coaching Start and Operator Coaching Advanced.

Featuring a host of new functions, Operator Coaching Advanced builds on the proven Operator Coaching Start app.

Key information relating to machine utilization (operating time, fuel consumption, distance traveled) is clearly displayed on the Volvo Co-Pilot, and can be reset separately from the machine display.

Keep track of key indicators including idling time, brake and throttle use, and lock-up engagement.

Monitor tonnes moved per liter, tonnes moved per hour and fuel consumed per hour. Information is displayed as a total for the entire work shift and for the active work, and can be broken down according to short cycles or load and carry cycles.

Displays an overview of the time spent, productivity achieved, and fuel consumed during different tasks. For example, the amount of fuel consumed by travel and the percentage of time spent idling.

Real-time score and graphical visualization of operator performance across previous shifts.

Operators receive real-time guidance on how to best operate the machine, such as ‘Activate Boom Suspension System’ and ‘Activate lock-up’.

Operators receive interactive feedback based on ‘What to improve’ and what to keep. Feedback is viewed by tapping on a feedback point, which brings up information on improvement areas and a QR code link to the relevant instructional video. At the start of each shift operators are greeted with a performance summary from the previous shift.

Create individual profiles and easily recall personalized saved data and objectives before each shift.

Interactive guidance

Navigate the different in-cab switches, controls and functions – such as Lock-up and Boom Suspension System – and access guidance on how to use them.

“I think it’s a great tool. A new operator might not know where all the controls are for example, but just push a button and all the information you need on machine functions appears on screen.”

I think it’s fantastic, I probably check my score on the app 10 times a day! I want to see how I can improve and it has almost become a daily competition to get the best out of the machine and get the best score possible!
