The MasterCab features ten high-definition displays, providing full field-of-view perspective, driven by simulation of operating conditions, machine response and the port environment.

With high-fidelity audio and a motion system expandable to six degrees of freedom (DOF), the MasterCab reproduces the sensory cues experienced by operators on the real equipment, “which enables a far more fluid transition from training to real operations”, the company said.

“We are delivering on the promise to release a fully immersive simulation training experience with the MasterCab,” said Devon Van de Kletersteeg, CM Labs’ product manager, ports. “With the MasterCab, port terminal managers and operators can experience more effective training and skills development, and ultimately realise a faster return on their investment.”

The MasterCab provides training that is available 24/7 and runs a complete catalogue of quay-side and yard-side equipment training packs (ship-to-shore, rubber-tyred gantry, reach stacker, and straddle carrier, for example), as well as custom simulations.

Thanks to the real-time training data captured by the MasterCab, instructors can monitor, assess and report on all sessions from the Instructor Station provided with the solution.
