Instructor Operating Station (IOS) for Port Equipment Training

Build operator skills with rich functionality for monitoring, scoring, and enriching operator training.

Control the training from your seat

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.

Options include the ability to set time of day, as well as weather conditions including fog, wind speed, and direction. At any time, instructors can help operators train for unexpected occurrences, including climate events, snag loads, and mechanical failures.

Training Tool features

CM Labs is the only simulator on the market that accurately replicates machine stability—providing real-world training opportunities to help reduce the risk of accidents and improve operator efficiency.

Challenge trainees for maximum learning effectiveness

With the IOS, you can expose operators to the variable kinds of situations they will experience in real life.

Set time of day, as well as weather conditions including rain, fog, snow, wind speed, and direction. At any time, the instructor can inject machine faults including engine stalls, hydraulic failures, and line breaks.

Train as a team in the classroom

The IOS is designed to serve as the central hub for collaborative learning. From your workstation, you can:

  • Enable tandem lift exercises
  • Put another trainee at the helm of the IOS so they can provide peer-to-peer evaluation
  • Launch a Signalperson Training Station (purchased separately) that allows another trainee to work cooperatively with the operators.

Evaluate trainees with smart assessment tools

The IOS offers a host of automated monitoring tools, including recording and reporting of machine and performance data, rolled up into a single score that updates in real time and is stored in the student database.

It’s the only simulator training solution that gives you the ability to customise this scoring system by allowing you to weight each metric, provide thresholds and deduct points for issues like collisions, human contact or exceeding time limits.

At any point during the training session, you can use the IOS to add bookmarks and notes to the training session for later.

Manage information with the student database

Manage multiple students by grouping them in classes and generating reports by class. This centralised database provides easy access at any time to individual student or classroom performance reports and makes data management simple and efficient.

Review completed exercises and performance metrics to establish your own benchmarks or, if desired, according to the attributes the operator wants to target.
