Caterpillar’s Cat Command remote control and semi-autonomous technology for construction plant has now been launched outside of the US.
The remote control provides full machine manoeuvrability from a safe distance when working in potentially hazardous environments. By removing the operator from the cab, it also eliminates machine vibration feedback felt by the operator, reducing fatigue.
Operating commands are sent directly to the machine’s electronics through a dedicated radio transmitter/receiver, resulting in real-time control.
A single operator can control multiple machines, one at a time, or change site location without travelling from the office to the machine, improving operating efficiency and reducing travel time and costs.
