Loading and transport solutions

Payload management

There are many processes in your cargo handling and transportation operation that can reduce productivity, such as underloading, overloading, waiting times, and slow cycle times. One way to recover some of that productivity is to use Komatsu's payload management technology.

FrontRunner Autonomous Haulage System (AHS)

A technology created to help improve your loading and transportation

Payload management technology helps operators accurately and efficiently load transport trucks to capacity, within production parameters, aiming for zero damage and unit load. Technology does more than just reduce payloads and maximize tonnage transported per cycle:

  • yellow-checkmark Protects your trucks by automatically limiting speed during overload events and by providing feedback data.
  • yellow-checkmark Promotes the efficiency and longevity of excavators by optimizing energy use during the excavation cycle.
  • yellow-checkmark Helps improve operator performance through activity monitoring and training features.
  • yellow-checkmark Offers operational insights for monitoring operations, as data is consolidated in a single location and easily accessible – making it easy to generate KPI reports, scorecards, and other benchmarking tools.

Solution integrations

To help you get the most out of your equipment, regardless of brand, Komatsu's payload management system integrates various payload systems for all equipment brands. The complete suite includes PLM4, Argus PLM, and Modular Mining® DISPATCH® FMS and ProVision® Machine Guidance.
