Immersive Technologies & Cascadia Scientific – Precision Haul truck Operator Coaching
At a leading open-pit mine, Cascadia Scientific partnered with Immersive Technologies to launch a cutting-edge fuel efficiency program for haul truck operators. By combining Cascadia’s advanced data analytics and machine learning insights with Immersive’s industry-leading simulator training, the program delivers targeted, actionable coaching that drove measurable improvements in operator performance and fuel consumption. This integrated approach empowers operators to optimize driving techniques in a safe, controlled environment while ensuring continuous improvement out in the field.
Fuel Efficiency Program
Machine learning models were built to evaluate each operator’s performance. Operators whose performance falls 1 standard deviation below the mean are flagged for progressive coaching.
Flagged operators (~16% of the roster) first received a letter; if performance did not improve, they met one-on-one with their manager, and if still below target, they were sent to Immersive Technologies for simulator-based training.
Targeted fuel efficiency training, delivered through Immersive Technologies simulator programs, were deployed to correct specific operator behaviours.
Post-training data was compared to pre-training performance to quantify real-world gains.
Results
Consistent Results: All 21 trained operators improved their fuel efficiency.
Operator Specific Benefit: 11.85% Fuel Efficiency boost for trained operator.
Haulage Fleet Impact: Training led to a 1% improvement In Fuel Consumption Fleet wide.
