Minestar
Cat® MineStar™ is the mining industry’s most comprehensive and thoroughly integrated suite of technology offerings. MineStar has been delivering results for many years and is proven on mine sites around the world – the majority of them surface operations. As more miners pivot from open pit to underground mines, Caterpillar has expanded our technology portfolio to ensure we’re able to support them just as we’ve done on the surface for decades. It’s no secret that underground mining presents special challenges when it comes to safe, efficient operation. That’s why we tailor our MineStar Solutions to the unique needs of your environment. No matter the size, type or complexity of your underground operation, Cat MineStar can help you deal with the challenges you face every day: Controlling costs. Extending equipment life. Working more productively. And keeping people safe.

Detect
On the surface, operators in the cabs of large mining equipment often cannot see if another machine or vehicle is too close for safe operation. Detect helps alleviate this potential safety hazard and can also be configured to provide valuable information about site conditions and other assets working in the area. Underground, continuous equipment movement on a longwall face can pose risks to those in the working area.
