Komatsu North America and Pronto Launch Autonomy Solution for Quarry-Size Trucks

 


Komatsu and Pronto recently announced a strategic collaboration to deploy Pronto’s autonomous haulage technologies to quarry operations in the North American market.

The partnership centers on the launch of Komatsu Smart Quarry Autonomous, powered by Pronto, a system that integrates Pronto’s autonomy technologies into quarry-sized haul trucks and ties into Komatsu’s Smart Quarry solutions. This visionary alliance further positions both companies as leaders in transforming the quarry industry through cutting-edge autonomous technologies.

The new OEM-agnostic solution will allow quarry operators to retrofit existing Komatsu vehicles or purchase new trucks equipped with Pronto’s self-driving system, enabling 24/7 operation with minimal human intervention. The result is a step-change in operations: promoting safety by removing drivers from the immediate quarry environment, facilitating consistent cycle times with better fuel efficiency and providing data-driven insights via the Smart Quarry platform designed to optimize the overall operation of quarries.

Pronto’s autonomous technologies utilize advanced AI and an array of rugged sensors to perceive the environment and navigate haul roads. This streamlined approach is designed to significantly lower the cost and complexity of deploying autonomy for quarries of all sizes. Combined with Komatsu’s Smart Quarry Site fleet management and analytics suite, operators will be equipped with an unprecedented level of insight and real-time control over their operations.
Komatsu Smart Quarry Autonomous, powered by Pronto, will be available to quarry operators through Komatsu’s dealer network.
