The mining industry is a major provider of jobs and security in South Africa. However, the problems associated with noise in the workplace have a negative impact on the hearing of mine workers.

The South African government installed hearing conservation programs to improve the safety of miners. They are achieving this by involving sound engineering techniques, such as sound source localization, and consulting with researchers and experts in the field.

New times bring innovation, but also new demands. There is a need to achieve realistic and predictive results more efficiently than ever before.

Test teams are now working closely together with simulation teams, as the ever-declining number of prototypes available calls for the use of digital twins in the early stages of development. At the same time, there is a strong call to obtain the most information possible from massive amounts of data, collected by testing and generated by simulation.

Discover the innovative technologies in Simcenter Testlab 2021.1, the new software release for multi-disciplinary test-based performance engineering, carefully designed to help tackle new engineering demands.
