FULL MISSION SIMULATORS
CYBERMINE Full Mission Mining Simulators are the most effective way of training mine equipment operators to be safer and more efficient.
The containerised CYBERMINE mining simulation system is housed in a 6m ISO high-cube container which is insulated, air-conditioned, heated and protected against dust ingress. The interior is well appointed and has integrated power distribution and variable lighting to provide a comfortable and controlled learning environment. Maintaining structural integrity of the container during manufacture ensures that all containerised CYBERMINE mining simulators are easily transported by rail, sea or road.
The Simulated Mining Cab
CYBERMINE mining simulator cabs are highly realistic replicas of the actual mining equipment, where instruments and controls look, feel and operate as they do in the actual mining vehicle. Cabs are easily swapped out by the instructor and immediately recognised by the CYBERMINE simulation software which automatically initiates the correct mining equipment simulation.
Simulator Cab Interchangeability
Every mining simulator cab is designed to be easily removed from the motion platform and swapped for another cab. The new cab will immediately be recognised by the CYBERMINE simulation software which automatically initiates the correct mining equipment simulation. The swap can be performed within a few minutes and allows CYBERMINE clients to maximise their return on investment.
6 Degree of Freedom Motion Platform
3 Degree of Freedom Motion Platform
Electronic Feedback Systems
CYBERMINE mining simulators impart accurate self-motion perception cues. Both 3 and 6 Degree of Freedom (3DOF and 6DOF) motion platforms are available, based on clean electric actuator technologies, to provide realistic simulation of effects such as rotation, acceleration, braking, suspension characteristics and collisions. Where fitted, electronic steering feedback systems complement the realism of the driving experience, providing return-to-centre feedback and the sensation of tyre rotation and interaction with the terrain.
Advanced Instructor Station
CYBERMINE mining simulators offer a feature rich Instructor Operator Station which provides the Instructor with the ability to:
- Set up and modify a set of standard exercises.
- Select exercise start position and initial equipment parameters.
- Choose artificially intelligent objects such as other simulated mining equipment and people to operate within the simulated mine world.
- Vary world specific parameters and interactive events such as rock spillages, rock hardness and crusher states.
- Inject faults such as tyre failure, fissures in the rock face, brake systems failure or engine faults, either randomly or on command, and then monitor student responses.
- View a display showing the current state of all instruments and
controls during execution. - Watch historical and real-time graphs of important sub system quantities.
- View an event log of students’ operating procedure violations as they occur.
- Replay exercises for After-Action Review and student de-briefing.
- View, print and export current and historical student reports.
Accurate Reality Models
The CYBERMINE mining simulation software accurately models the behavioural characteristics of the systems and subsystems of the mining equipment being simulated, such as engines, braking systems, suspensions and hydraulics sub-systems. External interactions with the simulated environment, such as bucket with material interactions and drill steel with rock face interactions are all mathematically modelled to provide accurate feedback to the operator. CYBERMINE simulation software also simulates various faults and failures and their effects on relevant sub-systems to permit realistic operator training under these fault conditions and in emergency situations.
Computing Segment
At the heart of the CYBERMINE mining simulator is a state of the art computer segment which utilises high-end, off-the-shelf PCs to deliver substantial computing power to each of the mining simulation sub-systems. The entire mining simulator, including the computer rack, is powered by an intelligent Power Distribution Unit. The computer rack also houses an Uninterruptable Power Supply to safeguard the computer segment. The complete 19” rack with all of its components is shock mounted to protect against vibration and impact forces during transport.
Surface and Underground on One Base
The unique CYBERMINE cross-platform adaptor kit allows surface and underground mining simulator cabs to be used on a common three degree of freedom (3DOF) simulator base unit thus significantly lowering the total cost of ownership.
Quality and Maintainability
Designed and manufactured under a rigorous ISO 9001:2015 Quality System, all CYBERMINE mining simulators are constructed with quality and maintainability in mind to maximise equipment availability and minimise through life support costs.
Audience View
The audience viewing area facilitates optimal use of the CYBERMINE mining simulator, allowing additional trainee equipment operators to observe and interact with the instructor while the primary student operator undergoes training and evaluation.
Commercial Components
CYBERMINE mining simulators make extensive use of commercial off-the-shelf components, facilitating maintainability, reducing life-cycle costs and extending the equipment life-span.

ENHANCE WITH A COMPLETE WORKFORCE OPTIMISATION SOLUTION
The FMS forms an integral and key part of the CYBERMINE heavy equipment workforce optimisation solution, which also includes e-learning computer-based training and the Operator Familiarisation Trainer (OFT).
Integrating these CYBERMINE mine training technologies into a truly blended learning and continuous improvement system is the CYBERMINE Learning Management System or LMS. The LMS serves to intelligently link all CYBERMINE workforce development products together and provide a universal, network-based system interface for mine users. The LMS gives mine instructors the ability to intuitively design, control and monitor the workforce development process for each individual mine operator passing through the CYBERMINE workforce optimisation system. At the same time it provides mine managers and other senior workforce performance stakeholders with an insight into the human-performance trends affecting mine productivity targets and safety issues.
