CM Labs Simulations has shared an update to its tracked excavator training add-on module that will now feature Trimble Earthworks. 

Trimble Autos enhancements 

By combining CM Labs’ industry-leading soil simulation with Trimble’s advanced machine control, Trimble Autos automatically adjusts the stick and bucket to maintain precise alignment with the design surface. This intuitive feedback increases accuracy and builds efficient habits, allowing trainees to master the exact depth and alignment needed for high-quality excavation while reducing errors before operating real equipment. Building on the existing add-on module, this update makes it the only simulator solution on the market with in-depth Trimble Autos integration.

Operators can choose from multiple pre-installed design files and apply them to the scenario’s earthworks zone. This variety keeps training engaging and adds replay value, enabling trainees to practice a wide range of excavation challenges and develop skills that translate directly to the field.

Autos is currently available as part of the feature-rich Trimble Earthworks add-on module, and will be expanded to other earthmoving products next. It joins CM Labs’ growing catalog of existing machine control add-on modules for the construction industry. With this update, CM Labs continues to deliver the most authentic and comprehensive excavator training solution available, helping construction organizations build operator proficiency and confidence before stepping onto the field.

“CM Labs has the only training simulator solution with such an in-depth integration,”  said Alan Limoges, manager of product growth and partnerships. “It gives operators a safe and cost-effective way to master machine control before ever touching real equipment, helping construction teams reduce errors, rework, and material waste while building confidence on the jobsite. The skills built on Trimble Earthworks also translate seamlessly to other Machine Control Systems (MCS), preparing operators to perform across multiple platforms.”
