Neste Jacobs launches its first digital operator training game
Technology, engineering and project management company Neste Jacobs releases the first new generation digital game called NAPCON Games Distiller. It is developed for operator training and operator testing purposes for the process industry and training institutes, and is available now for licensing.
NAPCON Games Distiller can be combined with the traditional operator training methods to maximize benefits and improve operator training. With the game, operators are able to learn new or enhance their existing skills in industrial distillation process. The learning is interactive, engaging and fun. The game comes with a vast variety of different game elements that enable learning to take place immediately and effectively.

NAPCON Games product portfolio is the answer for changing training needs. It offers a new, exciting and efficient way of training to complement traditional training methods in addition to full-scale training simulators. The first customers who have started using game licenses for their operator training include for example Neste Corporation and operator training organizations Edupoli and Sentria.
