Advanced operator training simulators are essential for honing the skills of workers operating heavy mining equipment. Liebherr says it offers a combination of simulation and instructor-led training to elevate operators to the target level of production, performance, and machine care.

Most recently, Liebherr Mining has signed a non-exclusive cooperation agreement with ThoroughTec Simulation to complement the existing partnership with Immersive Technologies. Liebherr adds that it supports the development of new simulators by providing technical information, and by testing new simulators through their subject matter experts.

“This new cooperation agreement provides Liebherr’s customers with flexibility to choose the solution best suited to their needs and preferences. Available simulators already cover several Liebherr Mining excavator and truck models, and further models will be developed based on customer demands.”

ThoroughTec Simulation has been designing advanced, hi-fidelity training simulators for almost 25 years, during which time the company has grown into one of the world’s leading training technology organisations. The company has deployed hundreds of simulators around the globe and says it is the only ISO9001 accredited simulator supplier in the mining industry. Its latest, fifth generation, range of CYBERMINE simulators are extremely realistic and cater to both surface and underground operations.
