🏭 How do you train without interrupting production?
🚨 How do you prepare operators for emergencies and unexpected equipment faults?
🎯How do you optimise dig angle, digging sequence, location and load placement?

The answer? Train in the safety of a simulator of course.

The CYBERMINE Cat 6060 Excavator Simulator was developed using Cat Licensed Technology and features a highly realistic cab with OEM controls, panoramic ultra-high-resolution displays and a highly responsive 6-DOF motion platform.

Packed with evaluation metrics and instructor training aids, it provides a safe, controlled environment where operators can develop, practice and refine their skills without the risks, downtime or wear and tear associated with training on the machine.

Train for productivity. Train for safety. Train for the unexpected.

We're pleased to announce the development of the CYBERMINE Caterpillar Remote Operator Station (ROS) Training Simulator for the training of Cat R1700K operators.

Built using Cat Licensed Technology, the simulator provides operators with a realistic, high-fidelity training environment where they can develop the skills and confidence needed to operate remotely with precision. By practising in a safe, controlled setting, operators can refine efficient operating techniques, reduce equipment damage and contribute to lowering cost per ton before transitioning to live production.

The first Cat R1700K ROS simulators have been delivered to Freeport-McMoRan's subsidiary PT Freeport Indonesia. We thank them for their continued partnership and look forward to supporting them in developing highly skilled remote equipment operators.

Develop safer, more productive dozer operators with the CYBERMINE Dozer Simulator for Komatsu D375-5 operators.

Operators can build and refine essential dozing, carrying, spreading and ripping techniques in a realistic virtual environment without impacting production or exposing personnel and equipment to unnecessary risk.

Comprehensive performance reporting and after-action review provide instructors with the insights needed to evaluate competency, track progress and deliver targeted feedback.

Every mine is unique. Your simulator training should be too.

CYBERMINE simulators feature highly detailed 3D virtual mine environments designed to support operator training, assessment, and skill development. Our custom mine worlds accurately replicate your site's roads, infrastructure, operating conditions, and procedures, enabling operators to become familiar with the mine layout and site-specific requirements before entering the field.
By training in a realistic virtual environment, operators can build confidence, improve productivity, and enhance safety from day one.

Contact us to discuss how we can create a simulator solution tailored to your operation.
