Komatsu Autonomous Haulage System (AHS)

Komatsu’s Frontrunner Autonomous Haulage System (AHS) uses a high-precision global positioning system (GPS) navigation to allow large electric mining trucks to operate to a complex plan rather than an operator. Komatsu’s AHS can significantly increase productivity, improve safety and offer long-term reliability.
AHS is a comprehensive fleet management system for mines. The dump trucks, equipped with vehicle controllers, GPS, an obstacle detection system and a wireless network system jointly developed by Komatsu Ltd., Komatsu America Corp. and Modular Mining Systems Inc., are operated and controlled via a supervisory computer, enabling them to be unmanned.
When the obstacle detection system detects another vehicle or person inside the hauling course under AHS operation, the vehicles will reduce speed or stop immediately, making the system extremely safe and reliable.

They bang on how it’s safer but really it puts a person out of a job and makes big mining companies richer.

Electric Autonomous Cars is for the Elite when they kill off 95% of the world population, so they can live having all their luxuries produced by robots.

[@op2352]

there are opportunities for training of the current workforce (upskill). New jobs will be generated. Efficiency on mine operations will allow other projects (which were not feasible in the past) to come in play as well.

@@lucasljs1545 people need to keep learning and advancing and not stick to being a grunt in a produce store or something equivalent when robots can handle things like that. We need to keep advancing too and not be content with bogus jobs nobody really likes anyway.

No robot is running a machine the way I do . My speed an knowledge is cutting edge compared to the those rock n stick robots . that’s why they pay me the big bucks . Evolve these nuts

Correct 😂

Thx for this video! Working on the issue currently !

I'm not a vindictive person, but on behalf of all mining truck drivers, I hope Komatsu outsources all of its engineering to India. It will be a very controlled process with very few variables and Komatsu will see an increase in productivity. I wonder what the Chrome Dome Team say about that.

[@ES-iv6wb]

It will happen, if it hasn’t already.

[@Null4eva]

I'm not a miner but on behalf of the drivers I hope a hacker or a software glitch causes those trucks to dive off a cliff.

Hello sir, I am Fathi from Algeria. I used to drive a truck like this in a phosphate mine. I like your video and I hope to be part of this great team. How do you help me sir? By the way, I live in Algeria. Can you help me get a work visa?

[@tulockthewerewolf9744]

Thanks komatsu for selling out the operator's and soon to leave them without jobs.

[@oleonardo1]

Do you use letters or email? Things could change, people must need to increase knowledge to follow that changes. Thing about it.

[@matthewbouton5121]

Such backwards thinking. Lets bring back lift operators for the sake of jobs.... smh.

Let’s be real, there isn’t any safety increase…it’s all about doing the job as cheaply as possible and cutting jobs is nothing more than an afterthought.

[@properaussie331]

This should be in every nine in Australia. Leave the mining to skilled tradies and go back go K-Mart

[@szczurrat2402]

Honestly... honestly... I know of a few sites that could use something like this. Low wages, dangerous and grueling conditions all make for some rough staff. Instead of wasting money, paying folks to wreck your equipment and not get any work done, there's now this!

[@thefatmoop]

If its a 3rd world contry with low wages, then a person in the cab is cheaper.

[@PeaceMakerSAAEX]

A horrible opinion honestly. I hope you cry to sleep when your works gets automated too.

[@PeaceMakerSAAEX]

These systems can be hacked. One day you will fall Komatsu and pay fines for service disruption.

Is no increase in production.only thing is no one pays tax.rio,fmg don't pay much tax.greed
