Proven interoperable automation
Bring your mine into the future, today!

As the world’s trusted technology partner, RCT is disrupting the mining industry by modernising operations with its industry-leading ControlMaster® Automation & Control technologies.

Machine performance improves significantly when processes are automated, as it removes inconsistencies. Implementing ControlMaster® increases the operation's productivity and safety, resulting in better business profitability.

With most mine sites operating mixed brand fleets, ControlMaster® solutions can be installed onto any mobile machine, regardless of make or model.

RCT offer a full underground mining automation solution. The only proven interoperable and scalable automation platform that can integrate to any site’s mobile equipment and existing or future technologies.

Automating one machine or your entire fleet, these solutions can be expanded upon over time as the readiness of the mine increases. Start your journey now!

ControlMaster advantages
Machine-based system

Edge-based processing, low dependency on network

Modular system design

Rapid machine setup

Interoperable platform

Scalable design

Production level

Maintenance-friendly

Communication system agnostic

Power and Ethernet over coaxial cable

Inexpensive to install

Minimal infrastructure

Traffic management
The traffic management system ensures collisions don’t occur by issuing commands based on machines that could intersect whilst tramming. These commands then determine the action the machine will take. Once this task is given, the system decides which machine has right of way when other machines are approaching a particular segment.
Support

ControlMaster® Automation is designed, manufactured, installed and supported by RCT. All solutions are backed by RCT’s leading support model and expansive global service network; aimed at providing local support, using local people, who are readily available – anytime, anywhere.
