Overview
GET ESSENTIAL INFORMATION — IN REAL TIME
Cat® MineStar™ Fleet for underground provides real-time visibility to cycle time, payload and other key operational parameters. It automatically records and tracks data up and down the value chain, providing insights that help you identify what’s working and fix what’s not. Thanks to our proprietary high-precision underground positioning technology, mines can accurately track personnel and assets to sub-meter accuracy. This also gives you access to critical cycle information, so you can better understand machine usage and overall efficiency of operations. Real-time two-way task management provides essential data that positively impacts productivity and helps you optimize the entire mining operation.

Features At A Glance
- Gives site leaders and controllers total control over tasks with dynamic in-shift rescheduling that can be communicated directly to operators via in-cab display.
- Provides the ability to reschedule and reassign equipment quickly as operational requirements change.
- Follows all machine and material movement across the site, monitoring machine speeds, operator performance, fault code alerts and more.
- Analyzes “what if?” scenarios to choose the best course of action when equipment availability changes.
- Allows mines to view the entire operation at a glance.
- Tracks every machine so mines can instantly see what jobs they are doing and who is operating them.
- Collects data on material grade, location, delays, and proficiency of operators, helping miners enhance data management and streamline operations.
- Agnostic to reporting platforms such as Power BI, Business Objects, etc.
- Helps miners better understand machine usage and overall efficiency of operations; enables users to actively prevent bottlenecks and experience gains in productivity.
- Provides flexibility to change assignments and shift KPIs in real time.
- Allows site managers to review operations and manage areas of critical importance and eliminate paper management of shift plans and tasks.
- Boosts utilization of all assets through delay management.
- Optimizes the site for efficiency gains and performance benchmarking by providing continual data capture.
