Autonomous Retrofitted HD1500 Fleet Autonomous Operations

under construction

EACON Mining Technology has commenced day-shift autonomous operations with a fleet of six retrofitted Komatsu HD1500 trucks operating without safety drivers in the active production environment of the Havana Pit at a gold mine in Western Australia. The project is a pioneering retrofit deployment of autonomous haulage technology on Komatsu HD1500 haul trucks and the first autonomous haulage deployment in an active mining production environment in the Kalgoorlie Goldfields region of Australia. The fleet comprises trucks converted for autonomous operation through EACON's OEM-agnostic autonomy solution, including drive-by-wire retrofit, leveraging in-service assets and existing haul road infrastructure to minimize capital expenditure and disruption to ongoing production.
