RCT and GBF celebrate decade-long automation partnership

Autonomous solutions provider RCT and underground mining specialist GBF have marked 10 years of working together to implement autonomous technology into underground mining operations.

Since 2009, when GBF & RCT conducted underground trials of the ControlMaster® Guidance Automation system at Gold Fields Caves Rock mining operations, RCT has delivered 19 Autonomous systems including Sandvik LH203s, CAT 2900Gs, R1700s, R1700Gs and R1300Gs at multiple GBF-run mine sites throughout Western Australia’s Goldfields.

The work collectively amounts to roughly 15,000 hours of machines operating on Guidance Automation within GBF-run operations.

ControlMaster® Guidance Automation has seen numerous software iterations over its product life starting with dynamic operator engagement, surface control to Independent autonomous tramming and more recently multi machine control via RCT’s latest Automation offering.
