Caterpillar 6060 Face Shovel loading Autonomous Trucks

The Caterpillar 6060FS is a 600 tonne class face shovel. It can be seen here loading autonomous 793 haul trucks using Cat's Minestar system. More details to follow on the revolution of automation in the mining industry.

That Cat 6060 looks amazing in 4K, great job!

[@cnote4461]

I can't get over the fact that there are NO drivers in those trucks!! That to me is amazing. They maneuver really well.

He could get 4 on there is he loaded correctly.

[@chil5150]

At approx. 8:28 you see Truck #56 pull out with a load. At 9:02 you see #56 heading up the haul road on the right, and at 9:31 #56 appears on the upper bench where at 10:10 it dumps its load onto the bench below. From where the dozer pushes dirt over the edge for the shovel to load onto trucks...again. Must be practicing 🤔

THIS IS SO COOL, THIS CATPILLAR EXCAVATOR IS VERY MONSTER FACE 

[@tutekohe1361]

Many of the commenters here are referring negatively to automation. Automation is inherently more efficient. To do something more efficiently makes the end result cheaper and helps improve our overall standard of living. This is how nature works, people. Adapt faster and be more efficient and survive. Failure means to die out, whether its in business or in nature. Automation is coming whether we like it or not, what we have to do as individuals is adapt and survive, not stick our heads in the sand and wish it all away. Lets control the game, not be victims of it.

[@engineclinic]

Automation is not inherently more efficient. It is however more consistent and that is it's typical value. It can also be used to keep humans out of harm's way. As to taking jobs, that's debatable. Robots don't make themselves.

[@earlgunman6325]

As aggravating as truck drivers can be to a dump dozer, I don't think I would want an automated truck anywhere near me. In a mine, you have constantly evolving and changing dump, road, and weather conditions. These trucks are relying on a lot of sensors. What happens when it rains and the sensors get covered in mud? What about a crack forming on the dump face or a soft spot developing? How would the truck react to being stuck? Would it spin itself down to the axle before it realizes it's stuck or stop when it first starts to sink? The problem with a lot of engineers is that they think the world works perfectly like on the computer screen, it never does. There are too many scenarios in which an automated haul truck would be a hindrance. No thank you, I'm good with our worst driver over that.

Muito bom o vídeo. Mostra três veículos, dois deles de tamanho gigantesco. A movimentação de duas máquinas e um caminhão é perfeita, parece que trabalham em perfeita sincronia. Eu também gosto muito porque durante a reprodução do filme não tem nenhum tipo de música, fazendo assim com que se escute perfeitamente o ruído dos motores das máquinas e do caminhão. Parabéns e obrigado pela postagem.

[@mundodasmaquinas8477]

a sincronia é assim porque são caminhões autonomos .Não possui operadores ! infelizmente

[@dieselmow773]

The trucks are dumping at the top of the pile. The dozer is pushing it down the pile to be reloaded. When the human supervisor gets back on duty who will be blamed for this futile activity. The best video I have seen to promote the need for dumper drivers.

[@AwesomeEarthmovers]

Myles Harding firstly only the trucks are autonomous and secondly this is a demonstration area and not real World. Automation is vastly more safe and productive as has been proven in mine sites around the World.

So.. Truck 1 gets a load and drives off, truck 2 backs in and loads, meanwhile truck 1 goes to top of hill and dumps load over the edge so the dozer can push it over the hill to fill truck 2... So.. is this job security for robots? or some fancy way of making gravel?

So the 6060 loads the dumptrucks which drive around up top and empty. The dozer pushes it over to the 6060. The 6060 puts it back on the dumptruck. Like that big loader toy from 1980.
