Follow on Google News | Advanced Training Simulation at Expomin 2014Simulators allow trainee operators to learn all the vehicle’s functions and operating procedures in a safe and controlled environment. Trainee operators can be taught how to deal with advanced emergency situations such as engine fires, tyre bursts and runaway vehicles without harming themselves or the equipment. “Trainees are taught to get the most efficiency out of their vehicles and are continuously monitored during the training process,” says Greg Lew, ThoroughTec’ The CYBERMINE Simulator System is now in its fourth generation and whether it’s a surface or underground equipment simulator, you get a highly realistic replica of the cab with fully functional instruments and controls. The replicated cab is mounted on a motion platform capable of imparting three or six degrees of freedom and is surrounded by a 360° panoramic, high-resolution projection display system with surround sound audio. Because mine vehicles are being used for fewer training tasks, the associated running costs of training are greatly reduced. Damage and wear-and-tear on mine vehicles decreases as green operators are able to familiarise themselves with the controls of the machines and iron out their mistakes on the mining simulator instead of the real machine. This means less unscheduled maintenance and lower maintenance and training costs. Mining simulators are able to bridge the gap from classroom learning to hot seat training faster by combining visual cues, motion, sound and motor memory with an advanced reporting system to fast track students to the required competency level. During training, operator errors are identified and recorded so trainees are able to focus on areas where they need to for accelerated improvement and elimination of bad habits. Simulators can be used for ab-initio training, refresher training, operator screening and evaluation. Simulator based evaluation has many advantages over traditional methods. Operators or potential employees can be assessed in a virtual environment, under typical conditions and can even be exposed to emergency and advanced situations such as brake or steering failure or a tyre blow-out. “The simulator also provides an unbiased evaluation score, thereby removing human error from the assessment process. This same unbiased evaluation score is also presented at the end of normal training or refresher training sessions. In this way the simulator is used to iron out bad habits and to improve efficiencies,” To arrange a personal demonstration email cybermine@thoroughtec.com or visit us at Pavilion 1, stand 190. About ThoroughTec Simulation: The team at ThoroughTec Simulation has been designing simulator based training systems for over twenty years. During this time the company has grown into one of the world’s leading training simulation organisations, supplying the mining, construction and military sectors. Providing Operator Training Systems and Tactical Training Systems for a range of vehicles and applications, ThoroughTec is the de facto supplier of simulator systems to the South African Military as well as supplying a number of European militaries. This military engineering has been utilised in the development of CYBERMINE mining equipment simulator systems, elevating them above competitors through military grade quality, reliability and low cost of ownership.
