Simulation-Based Training Solutions For Terminals
Operator training serves a critical purpose in the terminal workflow, ensuring effective, safe operations. However, the method used to train these operators can have a significant effect on port productivity. CM Labs’ feature-rich Vortex® Simulators provide an ultra-realistic, simulated port environment that allows you to train for increased safety and operational efficiency, in risk-free learning conditions. From ship loading/unloading to horizontal transport to yard management, CM Labs’ solutions can be used to train employees through the entire terminal workflow.
Why train with Vortex port simulators?
Increase training effectiveness
Trainees can experiment in the controlled simulation environment, learning how to safely operate machines and follow procedures without placing equipment and personnel at risk.
Remove Workflow Bottlenecks
Ports require precision control of their workflows to ensure the constant turnover of vessels. Moving training to Vortex simulators avoids having inexperienced operators in the middle of a high demand situation.
Raise KPI Performance
After learning through simulation, trainees start live-operations at a higher competency level. Likewise, seasoned operators improve their capabilities with on-going simulation-based upgrading.
Decrease Training Costs
Benchmark Employees
Every action taken on the simulator is recorded in real time, allowing ports to build a benchmark for “good” operations, ensuring that all operators are equally skilled, efficient, and safe.
Quayside crane equipment training packs
Vortex quayside crane simulators help train novices faster and further than other solutions, reducing the impact that training on these cranes can have on live activities while delivering more productive and safer operators.
All training is conducted through a series of progressive scenarios, enhanced by advanced simulation of rigging and hoisting systems, terminal traffic and trainer-controlled virtual environments, replicating real-world conditions.
Yard-Side equipment training packs
Vortex simulators let you simulate your entire port operation, extending to the container yard and the unique skills required for working there.
Training proper horizontal transport and container handling, including stacking rules, stacking skills, and delivery procedures, as well as avoiding tipping or other dangerous situations, builds operators who can move into live operations with the confidence and competencies required.
Best-in-class training for work site efficiencies
Vortex simulators are easily to transport and set up, and have been proven to lead directly to transferable skills and measurable work site efficiency increases. From affordable entry-level solutions to the most immersive simulator training available today, we’ll have a simulator that fits your training needs.
Remote Training Tools
Instructor Station
The IOS enables instructors to initiate Vortex Port Equipment Simulator exercise sessions and engage trainees by exposing them to the types of variable conditions they will experience in the real world.
Remote Operating Station
Train operators to proficiency ahead of remote crane delivery, with the market's only Remote Operating Station (ROS) desk simulator that integrates with OEM control systems.
Mobile Training Center
Training and assessment anywhere with CM Labs' Mobile Training Center.
SimGuide Service
Simplify integration of your simulator, with guidane for set up, start-up, and beyond.
Efficiency
“Having the simulator really does ensure that after three weeks, people are getting through the training system. It eliminates the opportunity cost of having a non-skilled operator on site.”
