Automation within the mining industry is transforming the nature of work performed by people both within the mine site and in the back office. Often, the importance of the role of the person working within autonomous operations is underestimated, particularly their ability to compensate for the unexpected. This underestimation can dilute or negate the benefits achievable from running an autonomous operation. Therefore, selecting the right people, effective training and upskilling strategies are key to ensuring a highly efficient autonomous operation.
Why is it important to select the right people to operate the right equipment?
Human errors and underperformance within an autonomous haulage environment will significantly impact operational efficiency and production. This is especially true for critical roles such as loading equipment operators who play a significant role in realizing the benefits of autonomous system implementation.
Why is it important to choose an effective training strategy upfront?
In-effective training approaches will lead to increased human errors due to poor understanding and low knowledge retention. This has significant impact on mine profitability risking safety, machine damage and productivity, along with limiting the speed of deployment significantly.
Immersive Technologies have deployed training solutions to the majority of autonomous haulage sites across the world. Below are some of the key objectives behind the deployment of these solutions.
Let us show you how our solutions can drive results at your site.
REF#PR2019
Iron Ore Mine, Australia
Excavator operators were faced with productivity challenges and more complexity in their roles while interacting with autonomous trucks.
A technical training solution was provided by Immersive Technologies, which delivered:
Codelco's Gabriela Mistral Copper Mine, Chile
Immersive Technologies have a history of partnering within the mining industry to overcome major challenges and is now working to overcome the workforce development obstacles affecting the adoption of autonomous mining.
Immersive Technologies developed and integrated a world first blended learning training centre for autonomous haulage at Codelco’s Gabriela Mistral “Gaby” copper mine in Chile. At this training centre, personnel undergo computer based training, virtual classroom and simulator training to prepare them specifically for autonomous haulage operations.
