Komatsu Autonomous Haulage for Smart Mining

Whether you're digging foundations or building communities, our reliable equipment delivers precision for construction work. Select from top brands like Komatsu, BOMAG, and Takeuchi, plus custom attachments to ensure you have the right tools for the job.

Balancing economic harvesting with sustainable forest management is key to preservation. With rugged, purpose-built forestry equipment from TimberPro and Komatsu, you can manage just that. Our team is ready to assist you no matter how remote your site is.

Dense urban areas can limit your ability to work efficiently, but our compact solutions from trusted brands like Takeuchi can help you navigate tightly confined spaces with the horsepower you require.

Transform your mine's productivity through autonomous fleets

The technology equips machines with vehicle controllers, a high-precision global positioning system (GPS), an obstacle detection system, and a wireless network system. The autonomous fleet is then able to operate predictably through prescribed route mapping and utilize enhanced safety features such as collision avoidance systems.

AHS Technology Operates Globally

More than 400 KOMATSU AHS trucks operate throughout Australia, North and South America moving more than 3 billion tonnes of material cumulatively across the world.

Recently published performance figures by Rio Tinto confirm that autonomous trucks have operated about 700 hours more than conventional haul trucks during 2017, delivering 15 per cent lower load and haul unit costs. Most importantly, there have been zero safety incidents attributed to the deployment of AHS since its implementation.

The Critical Support Role

Komatsu owns the autonomous truck technology and the software solution to safely manage a complex fleet of vehicles. SMS Equipment provides the critical service, support and implementation pieces. This synergistic model is critical, ensuring that the best AHS technology can be properly deployed and sustained in a remote environment. AHS is much more than deploying the latest technologies.

As a mining technology leader and AHS program deployment specialist, SMS Equipment supports your mine from feasibility analysis to program implementation and support.

Revolutionary Training Maximizes Mine Success

Training highly skilled technicians and engineering resources is just one part of the training model. We provide industry experts to assist its developing team competencies with all aspects of AHS implementation such as policy, procedure, and safe work practice development.
