Dragline Simulator launches onto world stage with strong support

A major breakthrough in the development of Advanced Equipment (AE) Simulator technology could help coal miners overcome a significant barrier to rapid expansion of Australia’s export coal mines.

New generation ground/tool simulation technology incorporated in the state-of-the-art Dragline Simulator Conversion Kit® allows complex operating processes and digging tool/ground interactions to be realistically simulated for the first time.

Developed by the world’s leading supplier of mining AE Simulator technology, Immersive Technologies, the dragline simulator is expected to help alleviate the “skills constraint” on production growth and productivity improvement sought by coal producers during a period of booming demand for exports.
