Client: Guanghui Mining
EACON partnered with Guanghui Mining to deploy a fleet of 500 autonomous haul trucks at Baishihu Coal Mine, establishing the world’s largest autonomous mining fleet at a single site. The operation involves loaded uphill haulage of overburden in extreme conditions, including wind speeds reaching 102 km/h, high ambient temperatures and narrow load and dump zones. A key safety enhancement was the adoption of left-hand traffic to improve visibility and reduce collision risks along pit benches and retaining walls. EACON’s ORCASTRA® system continues to deliver reliable, high-performance autonomy across the fleet, demonstrating its scalability and resilience in one of China’s most demanding mining environments.
