TOC EUROPE 2025
Its Light-Structure System uses five modular
pieces from foundation to pole top and has a small structural footprint. It features a unique reflector system and optic design to provide optimal energy efficiency and light control. This includes patented glare control to minimise light spill impact on neighbouring facilities while still providing the light levels needed for worker safety. Musco offers TCL for LED as a stand-alone solution or retrofit. Antwerp Euroterminal (AET) recently opted for this product to light an extension to its facilities. LED was critical to ensuring minimal light spill onto the neighbouring nature reserve. Furthermore, because the LED system reduced cable and transformer dimensions by 50%, overall investment cost was lower than it would have been for HPS.
Musco has since retrofitted its LED lighting
throughout the terminal, reducing energy consumption by 69%. Visitors can see a demo unit of TLC for LED on booth C60, where Musco will also be showcasing projects where customers have upgraded to its lighting solutions.
Next generation CM Labs Simulations will showcase its next-generation simulation training, which it says is redefining how ports train operators. At booth F26, attendees can experience the future of remote operations training first hand. It will feature a leading edge remote operating station designed by control equipment manufacturer Spohn + Burkhardt, running CM Labs’ new remotely operated rubber-tired gantry (RTG) training pack. Visitors will also be able to try out the updated ship-to-shore (STS) crane training pack, as well as other solutions engineered to accelerate operator readiness and operational efficiency.
The new remote operating station and RTG training pack reflect the growing industry shift towards remote operations. “We know the transition towards remotely
operated equipment is a difficult one,” explained Devon Van de Kletersteeg, ports product growth manager at CM Labs. “With this new training solution, we’re helping ports complete this transition smoothly, in a way that minimises the impact on productivity. “TOC will be the first opportunity for people
to see the new remote operator station for RTGs,” adds Van de Kletersteeg. Typically, a multiscreen simulator replicates what an operator would usually see and feel when they are sat in a crane cabin, including motion cues. You have all those motion cues. The challenge with remote operation, however, is that you have no motion platform.
“You can’t feel what’s going on in the equipment and oftentimes you can’t even really hear what’s going on,” says Van de Kletersteeg. “Your perspective is entirely shifted. You’re now looking through a bunch of cameras, and you’re checking sensors to try and not impact anything. We saw that as a training challenge for a lot of organisations. And so, we developed a training solution for that.” CM Labs realised that remote operation can be challenging for both experienced and inexperienced operators. While an experienced operator will be more familiar with the systems telling them where to go and what to do, they are also now removed from the sensations of the machine. For a new or inexperienced operator, they have a very steep learning curve. “You have to understand, first of all, how the machine is reacting in the real world based on your inputs,” he says. “You have to understand where you are physically located in the environment relative to other objects to avoid hazards, to make sure you’re not bumping into things. And on top of that, you now have to understand how to use the automation systems and all of the task information. So, we definitely saw an opportunity for a training solution there.” Additionally, CM Labs will showcase the
updated Intellia STS crane training pack, which aims to make high-stakes port environments safer and more productive. New features include instant record and replay, and enhanced lane configurations for straddle carriers and ITVs.
