How multiple operators increased haulage consistency through Komatsu autonomous haulage
AHS integrates GNSS, radar and dispatch for 24/7 cycles. Fleets accumulate 100k+ autonomous hours with fewer interactions.
Context
Human-operated haulage was limited by safety constraints, shift changes, and inconsistent operating patterns. These factors reduced truck utilization and created variability in haul cycle times. More consistent performance was needed to meet production targets.
Solution
An autonomous haulage system was integrated with fleet management and central control. The system coordinated truck movement, optimized routing, and removed the need for constant operator input.
Results
Autonomous trucks achieved milestones exceeding 100,000 autonomous hours each, demonstrating reliable long-duration operation. The transition improved consistency, reduced variability, and delivered strong safety benefits.
Data Inputs
GNSS, radar/LiDAR, dispatch data
