Mining Contractor PT Pamapersada Nusantara (PAMA) has made history by becoming the first open pit coal mine in the region to implement Automation at its Kalimantan coal mine site in Indonesia, and RCT was chosen to do it.
RCT’s Automation technology has been embraced on site across its dozer fleet, consisting of two Komatsu Dozers (D155 and D375). These dozers have been equipped with Line-Of-Sight and portable vision to give operators an even clearer view and improve safety for operators.
“This project is an important and historic moment for improving operational safety management in the Indonesian coal mining world,” said SHE Management Development Department Head, Pak Ridha. The site’s decision to move from manual operation to Automation was safety driven.
Risk reduction
“As we know, mining involves several high-risk areas related to bulldozer work, such as near water, mud, cliffs, heights and land clearing areas. With this application of technology, the level of risk in these areas can be reduced significantly,” added Mr Ridha.
