New technology and equipment from Komatsu

Komatsu will debut new patent-pending Machine Control 2.0 technology in addition to new equipment at the show. Featured in the booth will be equipment, technology and service solutions for construction, waste, quarry, energy, forestry, and forklift.

There will be nearly 25 Komatsu machines on display including brand new models as well as machines that have been recently introduced.

Among the machines featured on the floor will be the D51i-24 and D61i-24 dozers with the recently introduced, proactive dozing control.

This industry-first technology enables operators to use machine control from ‘grass to grade.’ The system provides a real-time picture of what the terrain around the machine looks like and makes calculated decisions — whether to cut and carry material, whether to spread or fill that material, or whether to perform finish grading.

On Wednesday, March 11, 1:00-2:30pm at Westgate, Pavilion, Komatsu is conducting an educational training seminar on Equipment Operator Best Practices for quarry managers and site foremen to have a better understanding of how to maximise machine operation efficiencies.

On Friday, March 13, 9:30-10:30am at Westgate, Pavilion 10, Komatsu will offer a seminar on Autonomous Haulage: Lessons Learned from Surface Mining.
