Autonomous Solutions
Autona/earth is reshaping mining and quarrying operations through autonomy. More than just an autonomous mining truck, it's a complete transport solution tailored specifically to each site’s operational needs. Delivered as a transport-as-a-service model, our autonomous haulage solution simplifies the transition to autonomy, enabling your business to participate in the industry's transformation without managing all the complexities.
Remote, repetitive, and operationally complex—mining and quarrying environments are well suited for the benefits of automation. Autona/earth, our autonomous transport solution, is designed to improve safety by reducing human exposure to high-risk conditions, while helping unlock new levels of productivity through more consistent and optimized haulage. Built to align with your existing operations, it offers a strategic step toward more efficient and resilient mining transport.
But the road to autonomy isn’t just about machines and systems—it’s about collaboration. We partner with you from day one, drawing on deep industry knowledge to design the right solution, prepare your site, and train your teams. In doing so, we ensure that autonomy integrates into your operation to deliver real value to your business.
Based on Volvo's premium truck range our autonomous vehicles are integrated with our virtual driver and engineered for performance.
Our trucks are deeply integrated with our in-house developed Virtual Driver for confined areas.
The fleet management systems track fleet performance, receiving real-time updates on vehicles, loads, and transport times. Our fleet management can be integrated into your current fleet management or mine management systems.
We tailor your infrastructure to optimize performance of the autonomous haulage solution, working with you to enable safe and efficient autonomous operations.
We offer comprehensive operation and maintenance services, which encompasses both day-to-day operations and preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance activities needed to keep equipment in optimal condition.
Uptime is the combination of the proactive and reactive actions our team takes to maximize availability, reliability, and productivity of the autonomous solution, with the aim to keep your mission running smoothly.
Developed in-house for use in confined and controlled environments, our Virtual Driver automates hauling by enabling trucks and machines to operate without human intervention. Using a combination of lidar, radar, cameras, and other real-time data, it navigates complex terrain with accuracy and consistency.
Safety is central to every stage of the development of our Virtual Driver. We run thousands of simulations covering both expected conditions and edge cases to stress-test our system. These virtual scenarios closely replicate real-world complexity, and outcomes are validated through real-world testing to ensure safe, reliable performance in live operations.
The Volvo VNL Autonomous is our first truck specifically designed for autonomous operations. Engineered with safety as its core, it features six critical redundant systems for braking, steering, communication, vehicle motion management, computation, and power management. Deeply integrated with Aurora's advanced self-driving technology, the Aurora Driver, the Volvo VNL Autonomous is setting a new standard for safe autonomous trucking.
