ARI offers a broad range of crane simulators for operational training in all essential aspects of container and bulk handling operations across various crane types including: QC (Quay Cranes), RTG (Rubber Tire Gantry), RMG (Rail Mounted Gantry), SG(Ship Gantry), PC(Pedestal Cranes), SC(Straddle Carriers), mobile telescopic boom cranes, tower type construction cranes, floating barge cranes, offshore cranes etc and other client specific cranes and equipment types.
ARI has crane simulation solutions to suit all requirements and budgets, from low cost desktop installations through to kit based portable multipurpose trainers and up to multiple PC, instructor controlled, full mission solutions.
ARI crane simulators provide a realistic reproduction of the visual, behavioral and operational characteristics while making the operation of the simulator extremely simple and intuitive for trainees and instructors.
The simulator provides a virtual non-destructive training environment for accelerated, hands on training to both novice and experienced operators.
Trainees can repetitively practice routine and specific tasks to imbibe safe and efficient work practices.
ARI simulators - with their enhanced visual, motion and sound systems - represent the state of the art in crane simulation for operations training for enhanced safety and improved productivity.
A typical crane simulator includes: a replica operator cabin; seat; swappable plug & play control consoles; high fidelity visual system; sound system; option of motion platforms; an instructor station with CCTV, stealth view & debriefing sections in a classroom or container configuration.

| Operator Station |
|
| The replica operator station simulates a real crane cabin with controls accessible on either side of the operator's chair, out of cabin view and a microphone for communication. |
|

|
| |
|
| |
| Instructor Station |
|
Multi Channel Instructor Station with control and monitoring features:
Multi channel visual repeaters
Instructor interface for editing & runtime view
Stealth view for de-briefing
CCTV camera view of the operator cabin.

|
| |
| Visual System |
|
| The multi-channel visual system for the operator cabin view provides the trainee with a realistic out of cabin view.
The visual system is completely integrated with the simulation exercise, motion, sound system and crane controls and thus provides the necessary depth in the visual perspective. |

|
| |
|
| |
| Motion System |
|
| The operator cabin can be installed on a motion platform and is designed for ease of access and maintainability. |
|
 |
|
| |
|
| |
| Operations |
|
The trainee can be exposed to a broad range of virtual crane operations:
Start-up & Shut-down procedures
Pre & Post-operation checks and lamp test
Gantry (long), trolley (cross) travel, hoist-lower operations
Boom operations in QC, cabin rotation movement in RMG
Swing control of spreader
Flipper operation: individual, in group
Spreader extension & retraction
Over, under deck operations, with, without cell guides
Misaligned prime movers
Twin, tandem lift operations
Realistic rope dynamics
Twist-lock operations
Safety & limit switches

| Instructor Mode |
|
The instructor can operate the simulator in:
Edit Mode: create & save different configurations.
Run Mode: real-time events, faults, emergencies and failures can be injected in run time.
The instructor can view the trainee's reactions to emergency situations; zoom in using Stealth view for debriefing; freeze the exercise; pause; replay; communicate with the trainee; view the trainee's actions; assess the trainee on a range of Productivity & Safety metrics.

|
| |
| Control Parameters |
|
Weather conditions: rain, snow, fog, storms.
Time of day varying sun & shadow conditions, night operation.
Assessment & feedback:
Productivity Metrics: Number of Moves, Number of Containers handled, Average number of Containers handled per hour.
Safety Metrics: Total number of Collisions, Number of major mistakes, Number of minor mistakes. Mistakes can be custom defined.
All operator and instructor events are logged and these events can be replayed during debriefing. |
