High-fidelity simulation training

for mining processing plants.

Prepare operators to understand complex machinery, make better decisions under pressure, and minimise downtime through simulation-based operational behaviour training.

Get in Touch

Where traditional training falls short.

Mining processing plants depend on complex machinery running under pressure. Yet most operators only experience real equipment behaviour once they are already on the plant floor. Training is often theoretical, access to equipment is limited, and consistency varies from one shift to the next. The result is slow proficiency, avoidable mistakes, and costly downtime.

Operators take too long to reach competence
Misjudgment leads to stoppages and production loss
Classroom-based training doesn’t translate to real conditions
Limited access to machinery for hands-on learning
Training quality differs across trainers, shifts, and sites

Reduce operator errors. Improve readiness. Protect up time.

Built for processing plant leaders and training teams who need operators competent faster, safer, and more consistently.

Understand complex machinery

High-fidelity simulations show how equipment behaves under load, during faults, and in real operating conditions.

Train safely and consistently

Operators can practice procedures, responses, and scenarios without risking equipment or production.

Reduce downtime and stabilise performance

Better-trained teams make better decisions, leading to fewer unplanned stoppages and stronger operational outcomes.

Built for real mining challenges.

We combine strategic insight with creative execution to help organisations turn emerging technologies into measurable advantage. Our work is guided by collaboration, clarity, and a commitment to meaningful results.

Operational behaviour training

Help operators understand how machinery and systems behave under normal, abnormal, and high-pressure conditions, before they encounter them on the plant floor.

Start-up and shutdown procedures

Guide operators through step-by-step sequences with precise interactions and realistic consequences.

Fault and upset condition simulation

Expose teams to surges, blockages, overloads, and trips in a safe, repeatable environment.

Circuit-level visualisation

Show how equipment interacts across the plant, facilitating a deeper understanding of the process.

Maintenance scenario training

Prepare technicians for shutdown tasks, inspections, and equipment interventions without taking assets offline.

Control room familiarisation

Introduce new operators to instrumentation, process control logic, and decision-making under pressure.

Engineered for high-risk, high-complexity environments.

Our simulation pipeline is designed around the realities of mining processing operations, including accurate equipment behaviour, reliable deployment, and seamless integration with existing training workflows.

Behaviour is modelled from your plant data, SOPs, and fault histories, so scenarios match how your equipment actually runs.

Designed to slot into your current training and development workflow, not replace it.

Map your plant

Convert CAD models, scans, or existing visualisations into spatially accurate 3D environments.

Model equipment behaviour

Simulate real operating conditions, from normal loads to abnormal states and fault responses.

Build operator training scenarios

Create procedural, operational, and situational modules tailored to your plant’s requirements.

Deploy anywhere

VR, desktop, or immersive screens. Online, onsite, or fully offline for low-connectivity environments.

Trusted in challenging mining environments.

We work with mining operators, engineering partners, and processing specialists to deliver simulation training that improves operator competence and supports safer, more reliable operations.

Case Study

Mine Safe Collision Avoidance VR Simulation

We built a high-fidelity VR driving simulation for Mine Safe to showcase their Collision Avoidance System in a realistic open-pit mining environment at MINExpo. It let operators and decision-makers see the system in action through real scenarios and interactive demonstrations, including proximity alerts, no-go zones, speed limits, and recovery events.

Mine Safe is a South African mining-tech company focused on safety innovation, developing collision avoidance systems for use in demanding mining environments.

Designed for mining. Adaptable to any industrial training environment.

While mining is our core focus, our simulation approach is flexible enough to support manufacturing, energy, logistics, and education - wherever clarity, capability, and confidence matter.

Retail

Experiences that build clarity and engagement in fast-moving customer and team environments.

Financial Services

Tools that strengthen confidence and support better decision-making in complex, high-stakes situations.

Education

Approaches that make learning more engaging, intuitive, and easier to apply beyond the classroom.

Healthcare

Solutions that strengthen understanding, preparedness, and performance in sensitive, real-world contexts.

A more capable, confident, and consistent workforce.

Simulation training gives operators the clarity to understand complex equipment before they ever touch it. The result is safer work, fewer errors, and more stable operations. NEXR helps mining teams build the confidence and capability to perform with precision from day one.
