""Our customers don't live in front of a laptop day in and day out; they live in the dirt," Hootman said. "The ability to get the insights and take the action that they need while they're doing the work is very important to them.""
""The reason that we started here was it was a real challenge of our our customers today that needed to be addressed, and also something that we had some some real momentum on and we felt like we could we could bring to market pretty quickly," Hootman said. "What we also liked is that provided a kind of a technology foundation for us to then build upon.""
Caterpillar is piloting an AI assistive system called Cat AI in a Cat 306 CR Mini Excavator using Nvidia's Jetson Thor platform. Cat AI is built on a fleet of AI agents that can answer operator questions, grant access to resources, offer safety tips, and schedule services. Caterpillar is also building digital twins of construction sites with Nvidia Omniverse to test schedules and estimate material needs. Caterpillar's machines transmit roughly 2,000 messages per second to support simulations and analytics. The pilots extend existing autonomous mining capabilities and create a technology foundation for broader automation.
