Immersive Technologies - Mimosa Coal Mine Partners with Immersive Technologies for Operator Safety and Productivity
Summary
The site anticipated decreased production levels with the new system but has worked with operator training company, Immersive Technologies, to develop simulation based training so miners can operate the equipment safely without production losses. As part of this integration we wanted operators to be skilled and keep damage to the machines at a minimum. With its 360 degree high definition screen and RealMove™ technology, operators can freely walk around the mine and equipment, allowing for realistic training for Red Zone avoidance, proximity sensor training, prestart and walk around. For Mimosa we had to take it one step further and provide a simulated tele remote station to effectively train operators before the new system went into operation,” said Richard Beesley, Underground Coal Business Unit Manager from Immersive Technologies. Mimosa is located in Coahuila, Mexico and extracts about 4 million metric tons of coal annually.
