Caterpillar
The world's largest mining equipment manufacturer, offering an integrated technology suite from fleet management to fully autonomous hauling.
About Caterpillar
Caterpillar Inc. is the world's largest manufacturer of construction and mining equipment. Its Cat MineStar Solutions suite encompasses five configurable product families — Fleet, Terrain, Detect, Health, and Command — that work individually or together across surface and underground operations. MineStar is OEM-agnostic and supports mixed-fleet deployments.
Caterpillar has invested heavily in autonomous mining. MineStar Command for hauling has been commercially deployed for over 12 years, and in 2025 expanded to quarry operations with the Luck Stone Bull Run deployment — a first for the quarry industry. The company also introduced MineStar EDGE, a cloud-based platform designed to bring FMS technology to smaller operations and quarries that previously could not justify a full MineStar installation.

by Caterpillar
MineStar Command encompasses multiple sub-products: Command for hauling (fully autonomous truck fleets), Command for drilling, Command for dozing, and Command for underground. Command for hauling has been in commercial operation since approximately 2013, with proven deployments at major global mining operations. In 2025, it expanded to the quarry segment.
MineStar EDGE
by Caterpillar
MineStar EDGE provides core fleet management capabilities via a cloud-based platform with easy-to-install onboard hardware. Designed for smaller operations and quarries, EDGE delivers near-real-time operational visibility — up to 98% accuracy — without the infrastructure requirements and cost of enterprise MineStar Fleet. It allows operators to make in-shift adjustments with downstream visibility into load counts, cycle times, and equipment utilization.
MineStar Fleet
by Caterpillar
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.
