- Mining automation has long been a dream for those in the industry. Caterpillar is making it happen in a big way - and continuing it's journey to developing a fully autonomous mine site. Take a peek inside the people, technology and innovation that are making this dream a reality.

thx for getting me off the truck so i can work somewhere else! brings new meaning to "well someones gotta do it". this over the next 30 years will revolutionize our world.
I could understand the autonomous in dangerous areas like constant toxic environments but this is just going to put people of work
Love this stuff....I repair the rims n wheels for a few fmg sites and other mining companies haul trucks/loaders/underground equipment over here in Western Australia...crazy to see these big trucks rolling around with no drivers.
yeah who needs jobs
The working environment in a quarry or mine is exactly suitable for autonomous hauling equipment. It’s dirty, dangerous and drudgery work, day in and day out. It’s always highly regimented without other equipment moving around going elsewhere like what can be found on open highways. No doubt about it, such autonomous vehicles are a huge blessing for mining.
this is a good video about autonomous haul trucks thanks caterpillar engineer for good products.
i see the semi automation (remote control) coming to smaller machines for civil engineering. This means a safer better working enviroment for machine operators. well done guys.
Being a heavy equipment operator my whole life this is absolutely crazy I knew the day would come I would love to have caterpillar invite me to see some of their new technology that's one thing caterpillar does the best they put so much technology and testing into their equipment when you buy a cat it's the last thing you have to buy
.....needless to say these machines are massive. What if the system gets hacked? How do you stop a fleet of these behemoths?
No sickies, no smoko breaks, no tiolet stops, no fatigue, no operators to blame for fuckups. What could go wrong.
Thank Yuo Very Much!Very good! excellent! Hungary.
Ferenc Tárnoki hey bro whats up
@@undergroundmoto8287 SUPER!!!! Thank Yuo! Hungary 27 04 2020
Great now half the mining industry will be out of work
EV would be the reasonable selection. Appreciated.
One day those trucks will want to do something else besides mining and when that happens they will break free from the chains of its human controls.
Okay, but when can I call one with my Uber app? ;)
Do the trucks have a routine for backing up to a loader to get a residual buildup scraped out of the truck bed (where the payloads go)? This situation reportedly can get precarious during the dumping procedure due to sticky heavy material that refuses to slide down off the truck. It stays stuck 'cemented' to the front of the bed until heavy enough to tip the truck sideways during a future dumping of more material.
dosent happen in the Pilbara.
looks like a liebherr excavator at 19:57 ;D Cat aint good enough for loading i guess ;P
A great development in opencast mining.
Lies with improved safety and production. They love that they don't have to pay someone to do the job, thats the only reason they want it!
How many people is going to be fired!....
I wont be impressed until I see a fully automated excavator, working with an automated dump truck. Scrapers, dozers, loaders, and graders could be next.
This is my lifetime goal to create. Now that I've gotten my BS in ME and EE hopefully sometime in the near future I can inpliment this tech.
When will the switch to battery electric drivetrains occur?
There are electric drive haul trucks - but theyre diesel over electric (795 Cats, 830 / 930 E Komatsu) - Pure electric is just not powerful enough yet, without a VERY large cable running behind it. Electric drive has alot more torque, and are usually better for long haul ramps - theyre one of the most reliable haul trucks available.
never. They suck - too weak for mining
Batteries are not the ultimate solution, Actually are worse. There's a lot of by-products and dangerouse waste associated with them. But the Tesla/Musk cult will cry when you tell them
electric vehicles are available so why is the demand for gasoline internal combustion engine vehicles still high?

Ok to be politically against something, but to think humans won’t progress, won’t find a solution? Wouldn’t bet on it.
who needs a union when you can automize
and i was hoping to save a big amount for my trucking school , looks like not anymore
After watching that movie Razorback as a kid I'll stay clear of Australia
Very impressive technology. My humble request is to get an assistance to make mining site my next home. Working on the yellow iron especially Caterpillar is my passion. Thanks.
The first step to joining #TeamCaterpillar is by submitting your application at careers.caterpillar.com?. Good luck in your job search! - Daniel
I think they got the location wrong that's not Australia that's South Texas like Cotulla
Definite the Pilbara - lovely spot in summer or winter
I love when people say, there is no way machines will replace people. Still think AI is still several decades away. The future sucks.
Machines will surely keep replacing jobs as they have done for centuries already, but is it the same thing as replacing people? No, it isn't, there will always remain an infinite amount of work that still needs to be done, ergo infinite amount of people will still be needed. As long as we want more things, we'll have a need for people to do work and provide them. And it will never matter how much machines are already doing because machines don't get payed, only humans do, so only humans contribute to price of things.
I'm appealing to the FMG Family that whoever have capabiliy and ability to assist me land my big dream job working in the mine, I will highly appreciate. Thanks in advance. God bless you.
Yes, unemployment is always a good thing. Societies become unstable when income distribution becomes unbalanced.
Of course China could become tired of paying for this ore and just come take it by force.
The future? Interesting indeed. And not in a good way.
All fine until it breaks down, which with all the pollution stuff on them, it won’t be long. Other than the haul trucks, most of the jobs will still require humans. Someone has to tell them where to go. They aren’t going to figure it out themselves.
No, it just takes GPS and AI. In 10 years all of these machines will be fully autonomous, and only the HD mechanics will be needed. These machines were meant to replace men with picks and small rail carts. If you can’t adapt, you won’t survive. I’m sure that these operators wouldn’t have any problem getting an apprenticeship as an HD mechanic. It takes a group of like 30 people to commission a new machine.
Shame on CAT. putting equipment operator out of work. No longer a cat fan, um going to sell all of the models I gave colected over the years after watching this video. Shame on cat..
+JenkY 13 lol
It's not CAT's fault it's the mining companies fault. They're the ones that want to automate
lmao, mines usually have a shortage of truck drivers so...
@@drod0886 its no ones fault automation is inevitable
Shame on electricity companies: They are putting lamplighters out of work. No longer an electricity fan.
Shame on airlines: They are putting wagoners out of job. No longer an air travel fan.
Shame on IBM: They are putting typists out of job. No longer a computers fan.
Shame on Netflix: They are putting videoclub employees out of job. No longer an streaming fan.
Shame on Aircraft companies: They are putting Navigators and Flight Engineeers out of work. No longer an airplane fan.
Shame on AMF: They are putting Bowling Alley Pinsetters out of job. No longer fan of bowling.
Shame on AT&T: The ayre putting switchboard operators out of job. No longer fan of phone calling.
Shame on Kodak: They are putting Daguerrotypists out of work. No longer a fan of photography (Kodak went south because didn't adapt to digital BTW, I think that was karma for all the unemployeed daguerrotypists.)
Economy evolves, needings evolve. And workforce also evolves.
Probably most of all blue collard jobs will be replaced by automation. And new technical employees will be required in other areas.
