Commemorating World Standards Day 2026

Standards are fundamental to effective training.

From the standards used to design and build our simulators, to the development of structured training curricula and assessment methods, standards help ensure training is consistent, measurable and repeatable.

By applying recognised standards and global best practices, simulation helps organisations deliver training that is aligned across mine sites, airports, equipment and operators.

This World Standards Day, we celebrate the standards that drive world-class simulation, consistent training and workforce excellence.

Not every performance gap needs a lengthy training programme.

Sometimes, you just need to target the right behaviour.

ThoroughTec’s Targeted Training Initiative takes a focused approach to operator improvement by identifying a specific performance gap and delivering concise, purpose-built training to address it.

Whether the focus is safety, productivity or machine operation, targeted interventions help operators correct specific behaviours without unnecessary training or disruption to production.

Identify the gap. Deliver targeted training. Get back to performance.

That’s Workforce Excellence in action.

COMING SOON: CYBERMINE Hitachi EX3600-7 Excavator Simulator

Our Hitachi simulator range is expanding with the addition of the Hitachi EX3600-7 Excavator Simulator!

ThoroughTec Simulation is developing the simulator in collaboration with Hitachi Construction Machinery, incorporating confidential equipment technical information and specialist operational and engineering expertise to accurately replicate the EX3600-7 and its operating environment.

The simulator will provide operators with a realistic environment to develop machine familiarity, refine operating skills and support safer, more productive mining operations.

In addition, the simulator will enable operators of Epiroc’s LinkOA AHS system to practice interactions with autonomous haul trucks, providing a controlled environment to develop familiarity with autonomous haulage operations.

More details coming soon.

Throwing it back to the launch of the CYBERMINE Sandvik DD422i Drill Rig Simulator. https://youtu.be/S9cbhGzMEek

The DD422i introduced advanced capabilities designed to support efficient and precise underground drilling. Our simulator was developed to give operators the opportunity to master those capabilities before putting them to work underground.

By combining realistic machine replication with structured training and performance assessment, simulation helps operators develop the skills needed to work safely, efficiently and productively.

Because better operator preparation can translate into better equipment utilisation and improved performance at the face.

🚨 COMING SOON: CYBERDRIVE Snow Removal Simulator for Vammas PSB 5500 Operators 🚨

The simulator will allow snow clearing operators to practice coordinated snow clearing operations 365 days a year in the safety of the simulator before venturing onto the tarmac.

CYBERDRIVE Simulators are the ideal solution for airports looking to boost operational readiness while reducing training costs. Featuring a common simulator base with customised simulator cabs, airports can train snow removal crews, ARFF operators, tug operators, de-icing teams, truck drivers, and more.

This simulator is just one of several units currently being built for one of the largest and busiest airports in the world.

This next-generation simulator features:
- Realistic Vammas PSB 5500 dashboard and controls
- Panoramic high-resolution visuals
- Military-grade 6-DOF motion platform
- Advanced scenario editing and instructor tools
- Multiplayer for co-ordinated team training

Designed to enhance safety, operational readiness, and productivity while reducing costs and carbon emissions, this high-fidelity training solution represents the future of airside driver training.
