Command for Underground

Command for Underground

Based in a remotely located control station, the operator loads and dumps the material via remote control. A combination of on-board computers, cameras, lasers, and operator station software enables the system to autonomously steer the machine during hauling, preventing it from hitting drivewalls and reducing machine damage.

Ergonomic controls allow operation of the machine using familiar components, reducing training time to get accustomed to new equipment, while also providing a safe, comfortable environment for the operator. It also improves accuracy of tunnel navigation, enhancing productivity and reducing machine damage from contact with drive walls.

In the work zone, machines are prohibited from leaving and personnel from entering secured areas during remote operation of the Command for underground system. Additional safety features can be configured for avoidance of hazardous areas and full system shut down in the event that one part of the system is not properly functioning.

Command for underground is built for Cat® LHD machines. The system is fully integrated and can be installed at the factory or as retrofit in the field to maximize machine performance.
