Straddle Carrier
Straddle Carrier Training Package
The Mevea Solution is tailored for container terminals conducting stacking and transport operations with a single machine. It supports both new and experienced operators by providing real-life scenarios, measurable performance metrics, and hands-on practice, ensuring faster learning and higher operational safety.
Mevea Straddle Carrier is a Digital Twin of the real machine, which is modelled using state of the art physics-based methods that enable accurate real-time simulation. The simulator operates in a dedicated port terminal environment and supports handling of 20-, 40-, and 45-foot containers using single or twin-lift spreaders. Training exercises cover container movement between stacks, STS cranes, and parked trucks, providing a comprehensive, realistic, and risk-free learning experience.
Key Benefits
- Train your operators your way with highly customizable training solutions.
- Faster transition to live equipment operation than with any other port equipment training simulator on the market, ensuring higher productivity and safety from the very first day.
- Uniquely authentic operator console replication using Mevea’s physics-based Digital Twin technology for highly realistic, true-to-life training, with instant reconfiguration to match any control layout.
- Reduced training energy consumption through efficient simulator-based port equipment operator training.
- Higher terminal throughput and profitability by keeping container handling equipment available for revenue-generating work instead of training.
- Alignment with modern port standards to support your long-term operational goals and compliance requirements.
