hiCRANE Port
Unique customized training possibilities
hiCRANE Port simulators provide high quality 3D visualization of a synthesized virtual container or bulk terminal. In the full-scale simulators, the crane operator is seated in a cabin fully surrounded by an interactive world, which can be easily populated and configured by the instructor. He has full flexibility to generate exercises resembling real conditions. The combination of visual information, physical movements and audio, results in a very realistic simulation of the actual working environment. Moreover, the ability to log, replay, report and analyse simulation runs, helps the instructor to execute the training in the most efficient manner. After-action review reinforces and measures operator performance. By simulating a wide variety of operating conditions, equipment failures and complex operational situations, the simulator provides a hands-on experience operating a crane in difficult and demanding conditions. hiCRANE Port can be suited to every customer’s needs thanks to our wide range of flexible components.
Our hiCRANE simulators offer a uniquely high level of realism, standard or customized solutions, a wide variety of hardware options, a modular system, fixed and mobile versions, high scenario flexibility and user-friendly interface.

User friendly instructor station
We recognize that the instructor is key to providing effective training solutions. That is why our simulators use an advanced, but easy-to-use interface, which gives the instructor the best tools for creating realistic exercises that enhance the students’ ability to operate the equipment as effectively as possible. In our user-friendly simulators, with just a few clicks of a mouse, the instructor can change the parameters of any training exercise to alter weather conditions, equipment faults/failures and much more. Functionality is the key.

With hiCRANE Port drag-and-drop capability, language translation and several other tools, instructors have access to almost all parameters and can easily monitor and control exercises as they progress. The station includes a control monitor, keyboard and mouse; a colour monitor that provides the instructor with one of several views of the session; a colour printer for generating performance reports; a modem for receiving software maintenance and upgrades; and an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) to provide power to system computers in case of power failure.

Training realism in a safe environment
By simulating a wide variety of operating conditions, equipment failures and complex operational situations, the hiCRANE Port simulator is providing a hands-on experience operating a crane in difficult and demanding conditions. Saving port and terminal operators time and money, our simulators are the ideal cost-effective way to instil confidence and increase the productivity of your crane operators. By implementing Simulation Aided Training (SAT), your port or terminal will enter a more productive, proficient and safe working environment for your personnel and cargo.

Simulation benefits
•Screen applicants for basic skills and hand-eye coordination
•Improve both apprentice and experienced operator performance through repetition
•Significantly reduce On-the-Job Training time and reach production targets more quickly
•Increase overall productivity and safety in your port operations
•Reinforce and measure operator performance through after-action review and quantitative measurement of student performance, including unsafe actions and their responses to incidents

Our simulator gives you the opportunity to implement one training practice and a certification framework. By reducing errors, damage and accidents, you decreases the number of On-the-Job Training days needed and operators reach their production targets more quickly. By lowering the risk, you have less production stops and you can cut down your operation insurance costs. Saving port and terminal operator time and money, our simulators are the ideal cost-effective way to get port or terminal in a more productive, proficient and safe working environment for your personnel and cargo. Our hiCRANE Port simulators are in use, safely reducing costs for port and terminal operators all over the world.
