Performance Associates (PAI) delivered a jaw crusher introductory maintenance manual and animation to Northern Star Resources, Ltd.—Kanowna Belle Project in Western Australia on June 7, 2019. The animation provides a narrative description of the jaw crusher’s location in the process, its function, components, and maintenance requirements.

With this delivery, PAI successfully met Northern Star Resources’ need for an animation that could introduce new maintenance personnel to the Kanowna Belle jaw crusher in a dynamic visual context.

The narrated animation replaced the standard text and graphics in the description section of the equipment maintenance computer-based training (CBT) module. The descriptive text was adapted to a narrative form. Multimedia specialists used engineering drawings and photographs to create models of the equipment and animate the modeled images to illustrate the key concepts and components in concert with the narration.
