Immersive Technologies’ training and workforce development solutions reduce miner’s cost per ton by increasing production ton per hour and reducing equipment cost of ownership.
Cost per Ton is a key measure in determining overall profitability of a mining operation. Our solutions drive reduction in Cost per Ton by quantifying and reducing areas of equipment operator performance variance. Using targeted, data driven training interventions, this results in improvement in bucket fill factors, equipment availability, equipment utilization, cycle times, work efficiency, operator availability, tire costs, fuel costs and repair & Maintenance costs, etc. These factors all directly contribute to lowering Cost per Ton.
Let us show you how our solutions can drive results at your site.
REF#CS1824
Grupo México, Mexico
Buenavista del Cobre site’s existing training program for new starters was not delivering measurable performance data, and a trend of increasing fuel consumption was noted within the truck fleet.
After implementation of a new training curriculum, site recorded a 4.6% reduction in fuel consumption, equal to cost savings of $1.6M annually, and CO2 savings of over 5,000 tons/year.
REF#CS2124
KPP Mining, Mexico
KPP faced operator shortages and pricing pressures post-pandemic, and needed to deliver improved competency and reduced fuel consumption without taking machines out of production for training.
Site recorded zero safety incidents while delivering a 25% reduction in training costs, 10.6% reduction in fuel use and 13.6% operator competency score improvement.
REF#CS2224
Tata Steel, Mexico
Truck fuel consumption at site was recorded at 40% over target, and shovel operators were noted as impacting ROM times with high load times and low fill factors.
This site achieved a 3.63% reduction in fuel use, equivalent to savings of USD 248,550/year, and 39.3% reduction in mean loading times for shovels.
REF#CS0618
NEMISA, Mexico
NEMISA was looking for industry support to boost training efforts in the areas of maintenance cost while increasing productivity.
After the training was delivered in the simulator, trainers spent time in the field to confirm and reinforce the best practices learned on the simulator.
The training initiative decreased the site’s cost per tonne by 7.53%.
REF#PR0815
Kiewit, USA
Facing falling commodity prices while production costs were increasing, Kiewit needed to focus on controlling costs and boosting productivity.
Kiewit Mining Group has reported a 5% improvement in operating cost, as well as maintenance savings and improved payloads.
