12 SEPTEMBER 2023 WorldWide Drilling Resource® Celebrating 30 Years of Simulation Training Adapted from Information by Immersive Technologies The world’s largest supplier of mining equipment simulators started from humble beginnings in 1993. Immersive Technologies began with seven employees who were on a quest to develop the world’s first Advanced Equipment Simulator (AES) for the mining industry. The first commercial simulator was exhibited at the Diggers and Dealers Conference in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, in 1998, when the company introduced the mining world to the first mining haul truck simulator. Soon after, the first mining excavator range and then the first mining wheel loader simulators were delivered. In 2005, the first dragline simulator was produced, winning recognition at the Australian Mining Prospect Awards. By the end of 2006, the company had sold 85 simulators in 17 countries, which increased to 155 simulators in 23 countries, by 2008. The underground range of simulators was introduced in 2010, with customers in 29 countries. By 2016, the company’s simulators were used in mines in 40 countries. Today, the company’s products and services are trusted by hundreds of mine sites across 50 countries as the company is still driven by a passion to provide innovative and valuable workforce solutions. With more than 560 simulator platforms and 1400 conversion kits, simulating 22 different mining OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), Immersive has been pro viding solutions to industry challenges. As advancements in mine technology create new training needs, the company continues to develop new learning technologies to support operators and supervisors. Simulation-based operator training has been successfully applied to many different industries where high risk and high costs are everyday issues requiring smart solutions. Whether piloting a plane or launching a space shuttle, simulation training has proven to dramatically reduce risk, cost, and unscheduled maintenance, plus it increases trainer effectiveness and efficiency while maximizing productivity. Immersive Technologies’ simulators allow operators to practice for a range of possible emergency situations. Many are too dangerous, too difficult, or too expensive to test in an actual mine. Operators can also be shown and assessed for the proper operating technique much more quickly and accurately than the traditional in-machine approach. Simulator training allows operators to be shown and assessed without the need to borrow machines from production. This allows new operators to practice their skills before being placed into a production circuit. Since operators are consistently shown and assessed on the proper operator techniques, they have a better understanding and knowledge of the real machine. The AES Series 1 was the first simulator designed specifically for the mining industry in 1998. MIN The company’s latest simulator is the PRO5 equipped with 3D stereoscopic display and a professional-grade visual system.
