Deputy Minister of Industry, Mines and Trade: For this year, $ 500 million has been targeted for localization in the mining and mineral industries, and Imidro has turned its attention to maintaining human resources as the most valuable organizational resources, followed by maintaining machinery. The country's mineral is of interest.

According to the International Stone Exhibition of Iran, "Khodadad Gharibpour" today at the opening ceremony of the "Localization project and construction of dump truck driving simulator" added: "Today with the localization and construction of dump truck driving simulator, witness a scientific success in mining and industry We are mineral.

"We are looking to eliminate accidents caused by unsafe actions in mines and mining industries by developing training, skills and using new training methods," said Imidro CEO.

He added: "The arrival of the dump truck driving simulator in the mines will enter the mining community into a new phase, and this will be a success for the country's mining community, the country's private sector projects and Imidro partners."

The CEO of Imidro said that building a dump truck driving simulator seems like a small issue, but a significant portion of open pit mine accidents are related to traffic accidents.

He added: "The construction and use of this device in the mines will reduce the costs of human casualties in the relevant sector and the recurrence rate and severity of accidents will be minimized."

Gharibpour said: the implementation of this project is considered as the honors of Khajeh Nasir University and this university has implemented a similar action in other sections of cars and buses. Today, it was agreed with the President of Khajeh Nasir University to sign a memorandum of cooperation in the fields of materials engineering and mechanics.

He added: This year, in Ghaenat Steel (South Khorasan), very important equipment has been localized and will be informed.

Gharibpour, noting that paying attention to staff health and human resources is a priority of Imidro programs, said: "Despite a 30% increase in production of the mining sector and mining industry last year, mining accidents had a very low growth (less than five percent)."

He added: Imidro has focused its attention on preserving human resources as the most valuable organizational resources, after which it pays attention to preserving the country's mining machinery.

According to the chairman of Imidro's executive board, we now have surplus production and export in cement, copper, aluminum steel and most products in this field.

Implement a project to improve productivity

The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Imidro stated that this organization does not seek to increase production, but seeks to improve the quality of production and along with production, productivity improvement is in Imidro's program and now we are implementing a project with Amirkabir University in the field of productivity.

He emphasized: "We are looking for innovation in the fields of exploration, extraction and processing, and the supply of mining machinery is another priority of Imidro, and now we are negotiating with Hepco and an automobile company to build a 35-ton and one hundred and twenty-ton dump truck." It is done that if it succeeds, it will play a very important role in the supply of mining machinery.

According to the report, the dump truck driving simulator was performed with the tripartite participation of three public, academic and private sectors.

Two simulators by Khajeh Nasir al-Din Tusi University with the joint support of Imidro (in cooperation with Sangan Iron Ore Complex and its contractors including Opal Minerals and Toos Asphalt Consortium) and Gol Gohar Mining Industrial Company (and Arman Gohar Sirjan, its contractor), for the first time It was localized and built in the country.
