It's no secret that underground mining presents special challenges when it comes to safe, efficient operation. That's why we tailor our Cat® MineStar™ technology solutions to the unique needs of your environment. Camera systems, RFID tags and other safety tools monitor and track workers and equipment as they move around underground. And remote-control, semi-autonomous and autonomous machines allow operators to work from safe, ergonomic work stations out of harm's way—while also improving the productivity of your load-haul-dump cycle. If you're looking to protect your team while keeping production high, we're there to help you choose the technologies and services that deliver the ideal balance.
Caterpillar and Minetec will jointly develop and deliver technologies that specifically address challenges of the GPS-deprived underground mining environment, such as communications and tracking of both people and machines.
Go Deeper
The Russian Yalevskogo mine operated by the Siberian Coal Energy Company (SUEK) recently surpassed the national monthly coal production record. The feat was accomplished safely and efficiently with the help of a specially tailored Cat® Longwall System and Longwall Automation.
Learn How
What if you could improve your coal output by 90% or more without compromising safety or availability? These numbers are not fiction; these are production results from three mines running complete Cat® Longwall systems in Australia. One mine has set a production record by producing 330,000 tonnes (363,762 short tons) in a single week.
And the benefits go beyond increased production -- improved safety, increased machine availability and increased component wear life are also possible with a complete longwall system from Caterpillar.
