Today marks a major milestone for Bagdad and Freeport as autonomous haulage goes live with four autonomous trucks working around the clock!!
The trucks are operating in a designated autonomous zone, isolated from staffed haul trucks and other operations. Everyone entering the zone, including shovel operators and those in light vehicles, must undergo specialized training on interacting with the autonomous vehicles. As the site transitions to fully autonomous haulage, this training will be required for everyone entering the mine area.
Thanks to the BAHS team’s preparation and diligence, minor bugs were quickly managed. Well done team!
