The “CAT 2025 ” program from Caterpillar Inc. is a long-term initiative to develop and implement new technologies to improve the efficiency and productivity of its mining operations.
New technologies being developed and tested as part of the CAT 2025 program include autonomous haulage systems, remote-controlled dozers, and advanced data analytics. Caterpillar is also working with other companies to develop new technologies that can be used in mining operations, such as drones and wearable sensors.
The benefits from the CAT 2025 program are numerous. Autonomous haulage systems can operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without the need for a human driver. This can lead to significant cost savings and increased productivity. Remote-controlled dozers can be used in hazardous environments, such as areas with high levels of dust or radiation. Advanced data analytics can be used to improve the efficiency of mining operations by identifying areas where improvements can be made.
