Cat® MineStar™ Command for Underground

Command for underground enables remote operation of load-haul-dump machines to deliver immediate productivity and efficiency gains to your operation. The system improves safety by removing operators from hazardous environments. It also delivers machine utilization increases over line-of-sight mucking operations by reducing the downtime required for shift changes, blast times, and any other conditions that can remove operators from the face.

Options range from simple line-of-sight to full autonomy. This building block approach allows miners to capture value at their most economic entry point while allowing scalability as technology maturity grows.

• Allows mines to relocate operators to a safe, comfortable location underground or on the surface
• Improves accuracy of tunnel navigation, boosting productivity and reducing machine damage caused by contact with drive walls
• Makes it possible to access deeper ore bodies that were previously not extractable
• Optimizes shift changes by enabling hot-seat operator exchanges
• Enables control of multiple machines from a single Remote Operator Station
