Mining Contractor PT Pamapersada Nusantara (PAMA) has implemented RCT’s automation technology at its Kalimantan open pit coal mine in Indonesia.
RCT’s dozer fleet, consisting of two Komatsu Dozers (D155 and D375) are being used on site. The dozers have been equipped with Line-OfSight and portable vision to give operators a clearer view and improve safety for operators.
The project was carried out by RCT’s bespoke department, RCT Custom, which added the portable vision to the off-the-shelf solution.
The site’s decision to move from manual operation to automation was safety driven.
RCT Account Manager Shane Smith says this is exactly what RCT’s agnostic technology is designed to do.
“The solution was ideal to dramatically improve safety, removing the operators from the dozer and allowing them to carry out their role from a safe position on site,” Smith says.
“The dozers are commonly used in the tailing ponds and dams, which are notoriously dangerous areas to work in due to the potential of slips and the dozers becoming stuck.”
