Overview

The Signalperson Training Station by CM Labs is a unique, cooperative simulation-based training solution that enables trainees to learn realistic teamwork and communication in crane operations. While one trainee operates a crane via the Vortex simulator, another uses the Signalperson Station to provide guiding signals within a virtual jobsite. This collaborative approach enhances motivation, engagement, and readiness for real-world operations—embedding both technical and soft skills in a safe, controlled environment.

Features and Capabilities

• Integration and Collaboration: Works seamlessly with CM Labs' Vortex simulator and Advantage trainer; enables one trainee to operate the crane and another to act as the signalperson, facilitating team-based training.
• Realistic Virtual Environment: Signalperson can navigate the simulated site, perform inspections, identify hazards, maintain optimal sightlines, and deliver hand signals via webcam and picture-in-picture interface.
• Enhanced Learning Outcomes: Promotes correct signalperson positioning, accurate load trajectory, proper hand-signal delivery, and safe lift direction.
• Instructor Support & Scenario Control: Trainers can monitor performance through the Intellia Instructor interface, score operations, generate reports, and introduce scenario challenges such as malfunctions or weather events.
• Cost-effective & Safe: Reduces instructor demands by training multiple trainees simultaneously and enables practice of high-risk scenarios safely that would be expensive or unsafe to replicate in real life.
• Wide Compatibility: Designed for use with various CM Labs crane training packs, including flat-top tower crane, luffing tower crane, rough terrain mobile crane, crawler crane, boom truck, and similar equipment.
