CAT® MINESTAR™ COMMAND


The biggest development in technology over the last decade has been in machine automation, and Caterpillar has been a leader on the journey toward automation for many years. Today, Cat® MineStar™ Command solutions make it possible for miners to automate a single mining process, remotely control a single machine, automate multiple types of equipment across a mixed fleet, or implement a completely autonomous fleet of haul trucks that operate around the clock with no human intervention.

The significant benefits of automation can be realized with even the simplest of applications. Individual technology offerings can be used alone or combined in multiple ways to take advantage of immediate productivity, efficiency and safety gains and serve as the building blocks leading to autonomous mining operations.

We’re committed to delivering technology solutions that can make a difference for mines of every size and with every type of equipment. Together, we’ll find the level of automation that’s right for your operation.
