MineStar Command for Dozing

Cat® MineStar Command for dozing improves safety and efficiency by taking operators off their machines and letting them work from either nearby or remote locations.

Command delivers value across the entire operation through consistent dozing, increased safety, greater operational efficiency, reduced operational waste and lower costs.

Deep integration with Cat machine systems enables smooth, precise control for maximum efficiency and productivity.

The system is scalable and flexible, with three modes of operation.

An over-the shoulder, portable console works well for short duration activities.

A remote operator station enables the operator to work in a comfortable, seated position with familiar controls. And semi-autonomous operation allows a single operator to manage multiple machines for maximum efficiency.

Australian Success Story

Cat MineStar Command for Dozing has proven results at a number of sites and production studies have shown significant opportunities. WesTrac partners with customers to get real-world feedback about how the system is performing and we use that feedback to continually improve the product and processes.

Recently, an Australian mining site fully implemented semi-autonomy, equipping seven dozers and netting $2 million per year in increased profit thanks to an increased production gain of 3 million bank cubic meters annually.
