Drill Fitters / Comms Technicians / Maint / Supervisors

Autonomous Drilling Systems - Mining Maintenance & Technology


This training introduces Autonomous Drilling Systems, safety devices in line with OEM specifications, and the Safe to Board (STB) process to ensure safe interaction during autonomous operations.

Enrollment in this course is by invitation only
Role Pathway - Autonomous Drilling Systems - P60 - Mining Maintenance & Technology; has been specifically structured to provide training for the mining site roles including Drill Fitters, Comms Technicians, Maint. Supervisors.
This course is based on the Epiroc RCS5 Pit Viper Series. This training introduces Autonomous Drilling Systems (ADS) and builds awareness of the critical safety systems required for safe operations. 
It provides an understanding of the function and use of safety devices in automated drilling, in accordance with OEM specifications. The course also covers the Safe to Board (STB) process, ensuring safe interaction between personnel and equipment during autonomous operations. 
Through this training, participants gain the knowledge needed to operate within ADS environments safely and effectively. The program emphasizes safety, compliance, and practical application in real-world conditions.
