Empowering the workforce in mining - through immersive virtual reality training

Mining is the backbone of modern infrastructure, supplying essential minerals for everything from construction to clean energy. As the industry evolves, companies face increasing challenges in safety, efficiency, and workforce development.

High-risk environments, strict regulations, and the demand for skilled operators make effective training more critical than ever.

Our Purpose in Mining

Yoy Simulators empowers mining professionals with immersive VR training that enhances operational safety, compliance, and technical expertise. From haul truck operations to underground safety protocols, our solutions prepare workers for the industry's toughest challenges. We provide hands-on training in confined spaces, blasting procedures, equipment operation, and emergency response, ensuring workers develop the skills needed to operate safely and efficiently.

By partnering with industry leaders, we help bridge skill gaps and accelerate workforce readiness. As automation, AI, and sustainability reshape mining operations, we ensure workers stay ahead—ready for the next era of mining innovation.

Mining demands a skilled, safety-conscious workforce to navigate high-risk environments and evolving technologies.

Yoy Simulators equips workers with immersive VR training, bridging skill gaps and accelerating workforce readiness to ensure safer, more efficient, and future-ready mining operations.

What our clients say

See how Yoy’s VR solutions have helped energy companies train their teams more effectively, saving time and costs while improving safety and operational readiness.

  • Michel Urcelay, Machinery Manager at Gardilcic

    We embarked on a project with Yoy, our strategic partners, to develop a virtual reality simulator... We told them what we wanted and needed, and they brought it to life...
    It is a user-friendly yet powerful tool, designed to simulate the environment we work in—workshops, mines, and also the operation of machines in all their functions”

    Sector: Mining

    Product: Heavy-Duty Simulators

  • Rodrigo Farías, Head of Instructors at Gardilic

    "The simulators were initially developed to reduce damage rates, failures, and safety incidents… Clearly, this tool is useful across all areas. Operators like it because it’s a tool made for them."

  • Raimundo Díaz Olivares, VP of People & Sustainability at Enaex Chemicals Division

    “Virtual reality has made training more effective in three key ways: we can train employees faster, reaching more people in less time. [...] With a VR strategy, you can take the training directly to the mine, maximizing every available minute. [...] Plus, the data collected helps track performance, identify errors, and drive improvement."

  • Mack Ortiz Espinoza, Head of Mechanical Maintenance and Civil Works at Colbún S.A.

    "I think it’s a great tool. When doing these exercises in real life, someone has to ignite fuel—it’s a high-risk activity, and you can get burned.
    A very good experience, 100% recommended."

    Sector: Energy

    Product: Xtintor - Fire extinguisher Simulation

  • Juan Pablo Torres, Senior Occupational Health and Safety Specialist at Colbún S.A.

    "The experience they developed is incredibly realistic—the way the smoke descends, how you start feeling nervous, and how it tells you what you did right or wrong. [...] The sound of fire crackling is exactly like in a real fire, and they’ve realistically shown how smoke spreads, eventually blocking visibility."
