CM Labs Simulations<\/a>, developer of Vortex\u00a0Port Equipment Training Simulators,\u00a0will feature lifting equipment training packs at Breakbulk Americas, September 28-30, 2021 in Houston, Texas, Booth P14.<\/p>\n

The immersive Vortex Advantage simulator is ideal for port terminals who are seeking quick-readiness training measures in order to adapt to volatile post-COVID economic conditions. Whereas 10-12% of all entry candidates become acceptable crane operators using the traditional manual approach, 25-30% become acceptable crane operators using the simulator method, simply due to the ability to screen and select candidates more effectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Vortex Advantage simulator addresses a critical training challenge for port terminals in today\u2019s environment,\u201d says Julien Richer-Lanciault, CM Labs<\/a>\u2019 Senior Product Manager for CM Labs<\/a>. \u201cOur clients estimate that the\u00a0learning curve is 6-12 months faster, which has a large positive financial impact, easily representing hundreds of thousands of dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with Mobile Harbor Crane (MHC) and Ship Pedestal Crane (SPC) training solutions, the 5-display Vortex Advantage simulator can also run a mobile crane operator training pack. Each training pack is designed to help operators acquire critical skills, in a virtual environment that presents the realistic challenges as well as hazards.<\/p>\n

When the Vortex Advantage is paired with CM Labs<\/a>\u2019\u00a0Instructor operating station (IOS), trainers can help operators train for unexpected occurrences, including snag loads, and mechanical failures. They can also customize training exercises for both quayside and yardside operations.<\/p>\n

Operating metrics such as cycle time, spilled material, collisions, and safety violations are all tracked by the IOS during training exercises, and rolled up into a single score that updates in real time, to provide an objective indication of trainee aptitude. It is the only simulator training solution that gives trainers and managers the ability to customize this scoring system and establish their own benchmarks, if desired, according to the operator attributes they want to target.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Vortex Advantage simulator, CM Labs<\/a> provides a desktop training simulator for terminals looking for a more portable solution. This simulator also pairs with the Instructor Operating Station, and can run CM Labs<\/a>\u2019 entire fleet of simulations.<\/p>\n
