Although a 100-ton mining truck won’t be the first thing visitors of CES 2023 expect, it will be a focal point of the automotive technology section as Caterpillar reveals advancements in hauling, automation, and other categories. CES 2023 will take place from January 5–8, 2023.
CAT will have autonomous haulage on the show as part of its 6,300-square-foot exhibit in the Las Vegas Convention Center, as well as the technology surrounding construction and mining safety, fleet management solutions, equipment health choices, and more.
“CES, the proving ground for breakthrough technologies and global innovators, is the ideal place for us to showcase our high-tech leadership,” said Denise Johnson, group president of Caterpillar Resource Industries. “People have seen us as an equipment company for more than a century, and they are now realizing that we are a high-tech company as well.”
CAT MineStar Command, which represents more than 560 autonomous vehicles that every day cover a distance equal to twice the circle of the Earth without a driver, will be displayed alongside the 777 off-highway truck.
The largest fleet of autonomous vehicles operating at one location is made up of these trucks, which have moved more than five billion tons of material over the past nine years.
Four themes will be the main emphasis of CAT’s CES booth:
- Big Solutions highlights Caterpillar’s leadership in developing the most advanced technologies in the world
- Big Innovation showcases why Caterpillar is a recognized leader in autonomous mining
- Big Responsibility covers how the company’s technologies help build a better, more sustainable world
- Big Opportunities focuses on people creating the high-tech solutions
Attendees will have the opportunity to witness mining’s beneficial effects on our planet by standing in the 777’s bed and learning about how CAT technologies are transforming the mining and construction industries.
With iPads as their primary devices, several augmented reality stations cover a variety of topics, including autonomy and technology, sustainability, and the environment. These stations also look at how to incorporate safety and power solutions, technology for safety in mining machines of all sizes, and the advantages of CAT autonomous solutions.
There will be a demonstration of CAT Command technology using two remote operating stations linked to equipment hundreds of miles distant. A big dozer will be operated by one person, and an excavator by another.
