Rajant Corporation, the pioneer of Kinetic Mesh® wireless networks, a 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Award Winner, and a New Premier Industry Sponsor of the 2022 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, along with Komatsu, have achieved Rajant certification for Komatsu’s FrontRunner® Autonomous Haulage Solution (AHS) in just six months.

For a century, Komatsu has been a respected developer, and supplier of heavy equipment and services for the construction, mining, forklift, industrial, and forestry markets.

Combining the reliability and durability of Komatsu electric drive trucks with the power of their innovative autonomous haulage technology has helped mines worldwide increase productivity and reduce the total cost of ownership while promoting zero harm.

If you’re looking for a significant upgrade to your fleet, the FrontRunner system offers automation that can yield substantial benefits for your mining operation, and leverage rich data to optimize your haulage fleet across the entire value chain with the Modular Mining DISPATCH Fleet Management System (FMS).

Front-line industries worldwide use Komatsu solutions to develop modern infrastructure, extract fundamental minerals, maintain forests and create consumer products.

“Reliable communications networks that offer continuous mobile connectivity are crucial to successful autonomous haulage operations,” explained Komatsu’s product manager for autonomous systems, David Haukeness.

“Rajant’s low-latency Kinetic Mesh and support for LTE and WiFi make their network a key part of our efforts to help our customers achieve their autonomous goals.”

Komatsu’s FrontRunner AHS uses a wealth of onboard technology and requires continuous, reliable wireless communication with the central office.

Rajant Kinetic Mesh® machine-to-machine (M2M) InstaMesh® technology provides autonomous solutions like Komatsu’s FrontRunner AHS with higher reliability and network resiliency with low latency, which is critical to maintaining ‘always-on’ connectivity for autonomous machines.
