en.Wedoany.com Reported - At a large gold mine in northern Canada, two Caterpillar D10 dozers were retrofitted for remote operation on an accelerated timeline to meet the mine's operational needs. RCT—a company powered by Epiroc—completed the rapid deployment of its AutoNav Lite semi-autonomous system on both machines. The system was manufactured and assembled at facilities in Brisbane and Perth, Australia, before the equipment was shipped to Canada for on-site installation and commissioning.

Rick Radcliffe, RCT's Global Operations Manager, stated: "This project highlights how the team can collaborate within a short timeframe to meet urgent operational requirements." Currently, the two dozers are operated remotely via an on-site AutoNav center. According to RCT, this configuration removes operators from potential hazards while improving mine productivity.

This deployment comes as mining companies increasingly seek remote operation solutions to address hazardous and unstable mining conditions. RCT hopes this rapid implementation will build confidence among other companies looking to automate their machinery. Radcliffe emphasized: "This is significantly faster than the typical manufacturing and deployment cycle for comparable automation solutions."
