Pronto and Heidelberg Materials North America plan to deploy Pronto's Autonomous Haulage System (AHS) at Heidelberg Materials Lake Bridgeport quarry in Texas. This follows the successful pilot of Pronto's technology at Heidelberg Materials Bridgeport Quarry in 2023, which was conducted in partnership with Komatsu North America. The next phase of this pilot will also be on a Komatsu platform and will include the integration of Komatsu Smart Quarry technologies, which will enable enhanced data collection and analysis, as well as improved safety and productivity.
Pronto's AHS is a cost-effective solution to help address the challenge of recruiting skilled operatives, while also increasing the utilization of haul truck assets. Pronto's AHS uses advanced sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence to autonomously operate haul trucks in complex and dynamic environments.
