(CNW Group\/CM Labs Simulations)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Montreal-based CM Labs Simulations, a provider of simulation-based training for construction, utilities and ports, recently announced the acquisition of AI Redefined (AIR), a Montreal-based tech company knowned for its work in real-time, human-AI collaboration. CM Labs says the acquisition reflects its long-standing mission of transforming workforce development and furthering its Vortex platform.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor more than 25 years, CM Labs has pioneered using engineering quality simulations to create training experiences that mirror real-world operations,\u201d said Robert Weldon, chief executive officer of CM Labs. \u201cThis acquisition reflects not just an investment in AI, but a continuation of our purpose: to redefine how training is delivered across critical industries. We see a future where intelligent training systems empower people\u2014not replace them\u2014and this acquisition brings us a step closer to that vision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founded in 2017, AIR has a technology platform that enables seamless incorporation of AI capabilities into training and learning. Originally designed for high-stakes sectors like aerospace and defense, the technology aligns with CM Labs\u2019 mission to create responsive, real-time learning environments that evolve with the learner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCM Labs has always been more than a technology company. We\u2019re a catalyst for industry transformation,\u201d said Danial Alizadeh, CM Labs\u2019 vice-president of engineering. \u201cThis acquisition reaffirms our leadership at the intersection of simulation and intelligent systems. As industries confront increasingly complex training needs, CM Labs remains committed to unlocking human potential through adaptive, immersive solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAt AIR, we\u2019ve always believed that AI is at its best when it collaborates with humans and have demonstrated it in the areas of learning and decision-making,\u201d added Dorian Kieken, founder of AIR. \u201cBy joining CM Labs, we can further our human-AI collaboration technology with a team that not only shares that belief but also has the reach to bring it to industries where training innovation can make the most impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CM Labs offers realistic simulation-based heavy equipment training solutions, with more than 1,000 installations of its training systems world-wide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cm-labs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.cm-labs.com<\/a><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"btn btn-default btn-xs pull-right\" href=\"https:\/\/www.on-sitemag.com\/construction\/virtual-construction-trainer-growing-through-acquisition\/1003985064\/javascript:window.print()\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"icon-print\"\/> Print this page<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<!-- end of .navigation -->\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n\t  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n\t  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n\t  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n\t  js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&appId=761779333850340&version=v2.0\";\n\t  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n\t}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on-sitemag.com\/construction\/virtual-construction-trainer-growing-through-acquisition\/1003985064\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">This article was originally posted at Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] CM Labs MasterCab Simulator.
