Overview
The Intellia Reach Stacker Simulator Training Pack delivers a comprehensive and realistic training experience for operators in demanding container-handling environments. It replicates the full scope of reach-stacker operations, including stacking 20-, 40-, and 45-foot containers up to five levels high. Operators can practice handling over-height, liquid, and open-top containers, as well as intermodal trailers and internal transfer vehicles, within complex and confined workspaces. The simulator integrates variable weather and lighting conditions, traffic congestion, and unbalanced load scenarios to reflect real-world challenges. Trainers can design customized exercises and measure operator performance through objective metrics, ensuring safer, more efficient, and better-prepared operators for terminal operations.
Features and Capabilities
- **Container Handling & Scenario Variety: **Supports stacking of multiple container sizes and types, including specialized loads. Operators practice in realistic scenarios such as uneven loads, yard congestion, and variable weather or lighting conditions, enabling them to build competence in both standard and exceptional operations.
- **Realism & Control Dynamics: **Powered by Smart Training Technology, the simulator authentically reproduces reach-stacker behavior, including equipment tipping during hard braking or sharp turns. It incorporates precise inching pedal control and spreader reference lines, allowing operators to refine awareness of skew and rotation while improving accuracy and safety.
- **Exercise Builder & Customization: **Trainers can create unlimited custom exercises that replicate everyday tasks or simulate rare, high-risk scenarios. This flexibility allows training programs to adapt to the unique needs of each organization and operator skill level.
- **Performance Metrics & Reporting: **Operator actions are tracked across more than 20 key performance indicators, such as containers moved, collisions, unsafe maneuvers, operational errors, moves per hour, and aggressive landings. These detailed analytics provide clear, measurable insights into safety, efficiency, and skill progression.
- **Instructor Tools & Training Management: **Integrates with the Intellia Instructor Station, allowing trainers to inject system faults, alter weather conditions, and monitor progress in real time. Customizable learning paths and comprehensive reports can be generated locally or accessed remotely, even via tablet, enhancing training oversight and flexibility.
- **Hardware Compatibility: **The training pack is available on multiple CM Labs simulation platforms, including the compact Vortex Trainer for desktop setups, the motion-enabled Vortex Advantage, and the high-fidelity Vortex Master and MasterCab systems. This range of hardware ensures scalability to fit different training environments, budgets, and immersion requirements.
