Immersive Technologies has confirmed a sale of its PRO3 advanced equipment simulator to ResCo Services, a subsidiary of Australian global recruitment agency Humanis Group.

The simulator will extend ResCo's ability to provide high quality RTO (Registered Training Organization) certified recruits to the market.

Immersive’s CEO Peter Salfinger said "The simulator provides ResCo the ability to safely train new and existing mining personnel in a broad range of operational and safety scenarios, measuring operator's skill and experience levels prior to being placed on site."

The simulator will initially be used for Rio Tinto’s (Coal & Allied) Mt Thorley Warkworth site, in NSW Australia. The simulator will supplement the sites own simulator-based training programme which is focused on operator up-skilling and efficiency training.

The sale also includes Caterpillar and Komatsu OEM Alliance modular equipment units to support both haul trucks and Immersive’s Training Systems Integration (TSI) package. The TSI package provides Immersive’s customers with a benchmark standardised training program for implementing simulation training.
