Cat Minestar is a comprehensive suite of mining technology consisting of a number of capability sets that allow you to scale the needs of your operations in Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands. These sets include fleet, terrain, detect, health and command programmes. The system helps manage everything from material tracking to sophisticated real-time fleet management, machine health systems, autonomous equipment systems and more.
Fleet
provides real-time machine tracking, assignment and productivity management, giving you a comprehensive overview of all asset operations from anywhere in the world. Enhance management of grading, loading, hauling and auxiliary equipment operations across one mite site or multiple sites.
Terrain
Enables high-precision management of drilling, dragline, grading and loading operations through the use of guidance technology. It increases machine productivity and provides you real-time feedback for improved efficiency. Terrain allows mines to make management information available across their mining operations, aiding in everything from drill planning and blasting to ore control and site planning.
Detect
helps increase operator awareness, enhancing safety at your operation. It includes a range of capabilities designed to assist with areas of limited visibility around fixed and mobile equipment. Detect works on most types of equipment, including off-highway trucks, longwall mining and room and pillar equipment, wheel loaders, motor graders, wheel dozers, shovels, light duty vehicles and equipment from other manufacturers.
Health
Delivers critical event-based machine condition and operating data for your entire fleet. It includes comprehensive equipment health and asset monitoring capabilities, with a wide range of diagnostic, analytic and reporting tools. Health works with virtually any mine site equipment assets, including equipment from other manufacturers.
Command
By integrating the capabilities of Fleet, Terrain, Detect and Health, Command delivers dramatic improvements in safety, productivity and availability at your PNG and SI operation. It provides remote control, semi-autonomous and autonomous systems for both surface and underground mining equipment. Command is currently available on select Cat underground load haul dump machines, off highway trucks and track-type tractors. It is also under development for longwall systems and blast hole drills.
