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 .
