Operator Assist

Operator assist

Our operator assist technology helps improve operator performance, comfort, and safety through automated processes or controls.

Shovel productivity is enhanced through our Adaptive Controls 2 and Track Shield technologies, while longwall shearers benefit from our advanced shearer automation.

Operator assist highlights

  • Our Adaptive Controls 2 technology increases shovel digging power without sacrificing equipment life
  • Our advanced shearer automation creates fully automated cutting sequences
  • Our Track Shield technology detects and helps prevent a dipper/shovel from striking the crawler shoe

Drill tele-remote

Drill Tele-Remote Operation provides flexibility for increased visibility and control from outside the drill cab. This is especially well suited for times when the drill needs to operate in a more challenging environment, or the operator needs the ability to see things he or she might not see from the cab.
