Immersive Technologies was awarded for its ‘Outstanding Contribution to Training’ at the Codelco 3rd Technical Standards Exhibition in Calama, Chile.

Business partners were invited to attend the five-day event which highlighted current technologies being used at Codelco mines and being integrated into the company’s safety guidelines and standard operating procedures.

Immersive Technologies exhibited an underground truck module on its Advanced Equipment Simulator. This technology, Immersive says, “has helped mining companies around the world lower their cost per tonne in the safest possible way and transformed the way the mining industry recruits, trains, improves and assesses the risk associated with their equipment operators.”

Manfredo Manfredi, Immersive Technologies Regional Vice President- Latin America, said “we are honoured to be recognised by Codelco for our efforts in operator training.  This award is particularly significant to Immersive Technologies, as Codelco is a long term user of our simulator products.

“We offer the mining industry’s only complete and scalable operator training solution and were delighted to showcase our latest offering to Codelco operators, supervisors and executives. We combine eLearning, instructor led training, medium and high fidelity simulators to provide the most cost effective training solution.

“As a company our goal is to make every mining and earth moving equipment operator in the world safer and their employer more profitable. This award from Codelco is testimony to our progress in achieving this objective.”
