  The primary goal of mine management is to achieve consistently safe and efficient mining operations in a continually changing and complex environment. The CYBERMINE range of articulated loader simulators are high fidelity simulation systems for the training, re-training and evaluation of operators of various load-haul-dumper vehicles deployed in surface and underground mining operations. These state-of-the-art systems combine the latest technologies to provide safe and effective training in mucking, hauling and dumping skills, from basic techniques to coping with underground emergency situations.
The CYBERMINE loader operator is immersed in a highly realistic, 3D operating mine world, projected on the three wide screen displays located about the operator’s cab. The entire loader cab is replicated to provide all instruments and controls correctly located about the operator.
The simulated mine world comes complete with tunnels, loading points, chutes and dumping areas. Artificially intelligent ADT's, other loaders, miners and other such entities exist in the world in support of the loader training and evaluation process.
All simulated equipment behavioural dynamics are based on detailed mathematical models that use equipment manufacturer specifications to provide accurate behavioural realism. ThoroughTec’s advanced soil interaction models require the operator to exercise correct mucking techniques for the terrain type and slope in order to obtain efficient bucket fill factors.
Simulator exercises may be configured to address various training requirements, including operations in areas of differing slopes, dealing with other vehicles and personnel in the tunnels, sub-system failures and advanced emergency situations.
The operator’s performance is continually monitored and recorded, in terms of cycle times, processed tonnage, adherence to safety procedures, correct equipment handling techniques and response to emergency situations and failures. These performance reports together with the instructor’s after-action review capability provide a complete training and evaluation system.
Highly efficient and effective training is therefore realised with no loss of production and no danger of accidents, even in the most complex of emergency situations to which the operator might be expected to respond.
