MineStar Fleet
About MineStar Fleet
MineStar Fleet is Caterpillar's core dispatch and fleet management system. It automatically records and tracks operational data across the entire mining value chain — cycle times, payloads, material blends, and key parameters — while automatically assigning haul trucks to deliver the right material to the right place. Fleet minimizes truck wait times at shovels and fuel stops, automates fuel scheduling and shift changes, and prevents misroutes.
The system works with any machine regardless of brand, making it suitable for mixed-fleet operations. It integrates with the four other MineStar modules — Terrain (machine guidance), Detect (safety/collision awareness), Health (equipment monitoring), and Command (autonomous operations) — to form a comprehensive, scalable technology platform for both surface and underground mining.

AutoMine
by Sandvik
AutoMine is Sandvik's comprehensive equipment automation product family covering underground and surface mining. The underground portfolio includes Tele-Remote (single-machine remote control), Lite (single-machine autonomous), Multi-Lite (multi-machine autonomous), and Fleet (full-fleet automation with automated mission assignment and traffic control). AutoMine enables trucks and loaders to autonomously navigate mines during full production cycles, including shift changes and blast clearance.
DISPATCH Fleet Management System
by Modular Mining
DISPATCH uses linear programming, best-path, and dynamic programming algorithms to automatically assign haul trucks to loading and dumping points, minimizing queue times and maximizing production. It provides centralized management of all mine operations — equipment allocation, shift changes, refueling, and downtime events — via real-time mine graphics and in-cab operator guidance. The system supports all major truck and equipment brands with over 175 OEM interfaces.
FleetControl
by Haultrax
FleetControl adds active dispatch and operational control capabilities on top of FleetOps. It provides drag-and-drop fleet assignment, material tracking, time and activity management, and mine plan execution through a simple, supervisor-friendly interface designed for frontline use rather than dedicated dispatch controllers.
FleetOps
by Haultrax
FleetOps automatically captures production data, cycle times, and equipment utilization through GPS tracking and algorithmic interpretation — no in-cab operator screens or input required. This eliminates data-entry burden on operators while providing accurate production reporting, KPI tracking, and asset utilization metrics. The store-and-forward architecture eliminates the need for expensive site-wide wireless connectivity. FleetOps partners with Australian hardware firm Motium for rugged, OEM-agnostic edge computing devices.
