speed, RPM, articulation angle, wall
distance, waypoints, gear, direction,
signal strength, and pitch and roll to
give operators complete situational
awareness.

Insite

The touch display automatically switches between active machines, giving operators instant visibility of vital parameters such as engine temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and operating hours.

Multi-machine
select
An operator can switch between machines (up to 5) of the same type, across different work areas or levels. Only one machine is actively controlled at a time.

Multi-machine
control
An operator can simultaneously control multiple machines (up to 3) of the same type, improving productivity and optimising machine utilisation per operator.

Autonomous tramming
plus
Uses advanced algorithms to continuously map the machine’s position in the drive, extending autonomous tramming runtime and boosting productivity.

AutoNav data
Continuously gathers diagnostics and production-related data, delivering actionable insights to improve machine performance and productivity.

AutoDump
Trains the machine to dump into a stockpile, fixed point, ore pass, or even a truck.

AutoDig
Will ensure the operator is in the optimal position for the ideal dig, ensuring their bucket is filled on the first time, every time.
