Background
Flint Systems, a Polish producer of VR training simulators based in Gdańsk, delivered a tower crane simulator to the United Nations in September 2025. The unit was deployed to Uzbekistan, where it will be used to train construction machinery operators in a safe, controlled virtual environment.
The Hardware
The deployment uses the Perun Pocket, a compact and portable variant of Flint Systems' Perun simulation platform, designed for machines with a relatively fixed operator position such as tower cranes. Unlike the full Perun platform, the Pocket version omits the motion platform; instead it achieves realistic simulation through a PC-tethered VR headset (VIVE Pro 2 based on the Perun product line), industrial joysticks replicating real crane controls, and a dedicated high-performance computer.
Training Scope
The simulator reproduces the full range of tower crane operator tasks: initial startup procedures, load lifting and transportation, and responding to variable weather conditions. The Perun platform's scene editor allows instructors to build custom exercise scenarios. A self-study module with a comprehensive user manual additionally enables trainees to practise independently between supervised sessions.
Delivery and Status
The simulator passed acceptance tests in Uzbekistan and the UN instructor team was trained in its operation prior to handover. The deployment extends Flint Systems' international footprint, with Perun simulators now in service in Poland, Japan, Lithuania, and Uzbekistan.
