Overview

BOOST DOZING EFFICIENCY & SAFETY THROUGH AUTOMATION

Cat® MineStar™ Command for dozing improves safety and efficiency by taking operators off their machines and letting them work from either nearby or remote locations. Whether you choose the over-the-shoulder remote control console or the remote operator station, your operators can have full control of the dozer without being exposed to dust, noise, vibration or other hazards. With semi-autonomous dozing, a single operator can manage up to four machines from a remote location — boosting productivity and safety Deep integration with Cat machine systems enables smooth, precise control for maximum efficiency and productivity.

Benefits

1 Operator. Multiple Dozers.

Allows single operator can manage up to 5 machines, maximizing efficiency and reducing operating costs.

90%+ Utilization

Operates more hours through elimination of idle time and ability to work in dangerous conditions.

20-30% More Material Moved per Shift

Delivers more consistent dozing, improves equipment utilization and increases shift-long operator efficiency.

Safety

Reduces operator safety risks in the event of a high wall collapse, machine roll-over or fall.
Decreases potential for injury from slips, trips and falls when climbing on and off machine.
Removes operator from exposure to full body vibration.
Activates machine shutdown when a loss of communication between the console and machine is detected, or if the operator console is tipped too far, which may indicate that the operator has fallen.
Stops machine movement when there has been breaching of an avoidance zone; stopping results in the application of the parking brake and the implementation of a lockout.

Scalability

Gives sites the opportunity to start with over-the-shoulder operator console, then advance to the remote station, which enables both line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight operation.
Allows sites to leverage their investment in the remote station to launch a full teleremote solution, with one operator controlling multiple dozers.
Features technology enablers that are designed as building blocks to grow and evolve with sites at their rate: ABA and Autocarry, MineStar Terrain guidance, Terrain Blade Control, teleremote and semi-autonomous system.

Productivity

Is able to operate more hours in a shift than a staffed dozer through elimination of idle time such as shift change, meal/bathroom breaks, etc.
Enables continued use of machine without putting operators at risk.
Allows production to continue immediately following blasting operations.
Reduces operator fatigue and drives consistent productivity through the shift.
Enables steeper work angles to drive increased volumes.
Makes it possible for one operator to control multiple dozers.

Efficiency

Enables quick system response through comprehensive machine integration of the electronic and hydraulic systems.
Provides operator complete control with access to advanced features such as Autocarry, Automatic Ripper Control and Auto Blade Assist.
Delivers more consistent dozing, improves equipment utilization and increases shift-long operator efficiency.

Integration

Integrates with Cat machine electronic control systems, saving installation time and speeding machine response time compared to aftermarket systems.
Is designed as part of Cat MineStar, a system that is used and supported around the world on thousands of machines.
Provides access to all operational features, and notifications of critical machine health parameters.
Utilizes machine’s existing hydraulic valves and electronic harnessing, increasing reliability over non-integrated systems.
Sends Commands from the operator console and station directly to the engine and implement electronics via a remote-control module and a dedicated radio, reducing delays.

Portable Remote Console

Allows for line-of-sight control from a distance of up to 400 meters (437 yards).
Uses spread spectrum technology to virtually eliminate interference from other wireless devices utilizing the 2.4 GHz frequency bands, and features proprietary algorithms that secure the communications between the on-board wireless receiver and the console.
Offers ergonomic design that enables an operator to comfortably work an entire shift; weighs just 3.8 kg (8.4 lbs) with battery and is suspended on the operator by adjustable nylon straps or “J-Hook” style over-the-shoulder support.
Offers full functionality of the dozer, with basic machine functions such as start-up/shutdown, blade control, gear selection, steering and ripper control easily accessible through the ergonomic layout of the console controls, all of which are protected from impact by the aluminum roll bar.
Provides access to advanced options such as Auto Blade Assist, AutoRip and Autocarry (if machine-equipped).

Remote Operator Station

Enables the operator to work outside of the cab from a comfortable, seated position in an environment modeled after the actual cab of the machine, with all ergonomic controls, alarms and features operating as they do in the dozer.
Can be equipped for line-of-sight operation or for teleremote operation with the addition of video and audio feeds from the site and dozer.
Can be set up within any type of enclosure, such as in a comfortable office environment, and can be configured for easy transport in a truck or trailer, which adds flexibility in its application.
Allows multiple Command-equipped machines to be assigned to one operator station, providing ability for the operator to quickly select the machine to control by performing a simple switch function on the station display.
Incorporates four high-resolution dozer-mounted cameras and a microphone for non-line-of-sight operations, giving the operator a complete picture of the machine’s working environment for safe, productive operation in a wide range of site conditions.

Semi-Autonomous Operation

Allows a single operator to manage up to five machines in push-to-an-edge applications, helping to maximize dozing efficiencies while reducing site operating costs.
Makes next-generation dozing a reality by allowing operation of dozers from a remote location either on the mine site or miles away, and reduces costs by tying multiple machines to a single operator and station.
Adds to the features of the Remote Operator Station, providing situational awareness with 2D computer-generated imagery.
Includes a tactical planner system that features real-time terrain mapping through a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), which reacts in real time to mapped environmental changes, and is designed to handle operator interventions quickly and smoothly.
Requires implementation of Auto Blade Assist, Autocarry and AutoRip Control; also requires Terrain with blade control to assist with productivity to a design plan.
