Mineweb.com reported that Assmang Khumani Iron Ore surface mining operation will be significantly improving their capability to enhance operator competency with the acquisition of two CYBERMINE4 mining simulators from South African mining simulator specialist, ThoroughTec Simulation. The Khumani mine has also purchased interchangeable cabs simulating Komatsu's 860E AC Haul Truck and PC5500 Hydraulic Face Shovel. The two Thoroughtec simulators will join the company's existing single unit purchased a few years back from Australia's Immersive Technologies.
The new units will not only enable Khumani's HR, Engineering and Mining management to train on loading, hauling and digging, but also on more advanced equipment like drill rigs in the near future. ThoroughTec's attentiveness in supporting customers, along with their flexible approach to their development schedule and low cost of ownership model and value for money service plans were accredited as key differentiators with their competitors.
Mr Mark Walker ThoroughTec Simulation's executive director of mining & construction said that "Assmang Khumani's Iron Ore operation selection of ThoroughTec Simulation is a significant validation of our new 4th generation CYBERMINE4 mining simulators leadership in the market, with the recognition that military level simulators in the mining industry is the future and it further emphasizes our dominance in the Northern Cape area in South Africa."
ThoroughTec Simulation's CYBERMINE4 is the industry's new fourth generation mining and only dual role (interchangeable between surface and underground) simulator. It is upgraded with many new features including a full 360 panoramic display, enhanced reporting software, and two HD instructor screens in an enlarged classroom environment.
