Immersive Technologies have been awarded first prize in the international category of machines and products display at the 2010 International Mining Exhibition held in Kolkata, India.
Following a further major Advanced Equipment Simulator sale into India in late 2009 to one of the world's leading producers of zinc and lead, Immersive Technologies demonstrated its industry leading simulator technology to the heads of the Indian mining industry during the four day trade show.
High levels of interest were generated as trade show visitors looked for leading companies with proven technology to increase their operators' safety and site profitability.
Immersive Technologies' long-term exclusive alliances with the leading Original Equipment Manufacturers and extensive mining industry customer base in 28 countries were noted by visitors as key indicators of Immersive Technologies' global leadership in the area of mining simulation.
With previous simulator units acquired by Tata Steel, the recent 2009 sale saw an AES 2 simulator deployed to the large zinc mine to support and enhance the training of operators on Komatsu 830E-AC haul trucks and Terex/O&K RH340 excavators.
"Immersive Technologies is commitment to ensuring mining companies in India have access to our leading global technology and are fully supported by Immersive," said Al Haroun, Immersive Technologies regional general manager for India, Middle East and Europe.
