MINEXPO PREVIEW II
Why the S8 TIGER?
CYBERMINE Workforce Optimisation and Management
Workforce Excellence( WX) platform, or‘ WEX’, reports Richard Bellengere, Head of Operations at ThoroughTec.“ This first-of-class system will revolutionise the way mines approach workforce performance management, finally providing decision makers and managers with an end-toend tool for the continuous, scientific measurement and improvement of heavy equipment operator performance.”
Also on display will be the latest version of ThoroughTec’ s hugely popular CYBERMINE Full Mission Simulator( FMS) System.“ These advanced, fourth generation operator training simulators remain the cornerstone of our integrated training system, allowing us to directly influence workforce performance by shaping operator behaviour in a highly-realistic yet safe, cost-effective and controlled environment,” notes Bellengere.
ThoroughTec has also confirmed that there will be a second CYBERMINE FMS exhibit at the show, this one on the OJSC BELAZ stand, where the world’ s first and only BELAZ 75135 haul truck driver training simulator will be available for demonstration.“ This simulator is the latest in a string of new developments and features some very sexy new features, including the CYBERMINE Motion Tracking System and Mission Planner,” says Bellengere.
Back on ThoroughTec’ s stand and the enhanced CYBERMINE Operator Familiarisation Trainer( OFT) will be available for demonstration, along with some of their latest E-Learning courses. Both of these product lines are supplementary to the core FMS system and ensure that students properly acquire the foundational knowledge and psycho-motor skills necessary to excel in their chosen roles.“ E-learning systems have evolved considerably over the years and our in-house, Training Systems team pride themselves in staying ahead of the market as new
technologies and methods emerge,” says Bellengere.
“ We believe in the power of technology and the potential of people,” says CEO, Justin Collins.“ It’ s this philosophy that drives us to develop fantastic new products like CYBERMINE WX, tools that harness that power and unlock that potential.”
