Caterpillar has always paid attention to technology research and development and innovation, hoping to provide customers with effective solutions based on the progress of science and technology. Next, let’s take a look at how Caterpillar’s six innovations bring new intelligence and efficiency to our customers.

Technology 1: Cat Connect / Cat (Cat) Intelligence
Cat Connect is a suite of intelligent connectivity technology that integrates hardware, software and various services, providing rich data, allowing customers to understand their equipment and operating conditions more deeply than in the past, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of the work site.

Technology 2: Cat Minestar
Every day, a large amount of data is generated at the mine, and Cat Minestar can collect this data and convert it into useful information, which will help customers enhance mine safety, reduce costs, increase profits, and improve production efficiency. The system offers the most comprehensive suite of mining technology products in the industry to meet the needs of customers’ mines.

Technology 3: AccuGrade Laser Grade Control System
The AccuGrade Laser Grade Control System is a high-tech earthmoving tool that increases the accuracy of grading and filling for dozers without the need for traditional stakes or graders. Utilizing advanced laser technology, machine-mounted components and an external laser transmitter, this state-of-the-art machine control system displays precise elevation information on the in-cab display for accurate blade positioning. As a result, operators can be more efficient, level grades faster, and operate less often than before.

Cat B15Q Smartphone
Released on June 3, 2014, B15Q is the world’s first smartphone that supports Android KitKat system worldwide. The B15Q has a quad-core processor, a new version of Android, upgraded Bluetooth connectivity, and an HD camera with LED flash. The temperature resistance of B15Q is -25℃-55℃, it can be soaked for 30 minutes in one meter of water, and can withstand the impact of falling from 1.8 meters high.

Autonomous Trucks / Driverless Truck Technology
Machine automation can help customers improve profitability in every measurable area. Taking safety as an example, driverless trucks avoid errors that may be caused by human operation or fatigued work, ensuring that automated machinery can run more safely on the road.

Solar Insight System
Solar Insight System is a relatively comprehensive equipment management method developed so far, which can transition from a time-based repair solution to a state-based repair solution, greatly extending the life cycle of equipment use and reducing corresponding costs.
