Komatsu will deploy 62 930E haul trucks with its FrontRunner Autonomous Haulage System (AHS) at Los Bronces, a Chilean open pit copper mine operated by Anglo American. The trucks will be operating by 2024.
“We are excited to participate in this initiative to implement autonomous technology and look forward to the opportunity to leverage FrontRunner AHS to help us optimize our mine operations at Los Bronces, convinced that technology is an enabler to improve the way we work and move toward a safer and more sustainable operation, where people are the protagonists of innovation and are at the center of everything we do,” said Cristobal Mimica, mine modernization manager Los Bronces, in a prepared statement.
“FrontRunner AHS is designed to help mines increase production while promoting zero harm,” said Anthony Cook, VP for autonomous systems at Komatsu. “We’re pleased that Anglo American, a long-time partner, has chosen FrontRunner to help achieve their goals and we look forward to continuing to collaborate on future optimization opportunities.”
Komatus has more than 525 trucks operating FrontRunner AHS.
