Komatsu and Pronto announced a partnership to bring autonomous haulage technology to quarries in North America. The initiative, called Komatsu Smart Quarry Autonomous, integrates Pronto’s self-driving system with Komatsu haul trucks and ties into the company’s Smart Quarry management platform.
The solution allows operators to retrofit existing trucks or purchase new vehicles equipped with autonomy technology. It enables 24/7 operation with minimal human intervention, helping improve safety by reducing worker exposure to hazardous areas and increasing operational efficiency.
Pronto’s system uses artificial intelligence and rugged sensors to navigate haul roads, while Komatsu’s Smart Quarry platform provides real-time analytics and fleet management. Together, the companies aim to make autonomous quarry operations more accessible, productive and data-driven.
