Mixed-Fleet Interoperability

The reality of modern mining is a mixed fleet. Operators run Caterpillar 793s alongside Komatsu 930Es, supported by Hitachi excavators and Liebherr loaders. Traditionally, this led to "siloed autonomy"—where machines from different vendors could not share the same Autonomous Operating Zone (AOZ).

Cognigear enables the interoperable mine site.

Our Expertise

1. ISO 23725 Compliance

We help operators and Tier 1 vendors implement the ISO 23725 standard for autonomous machine safety and interoperability. This ensures that heartbeats and safety signals are understood across different control architectures.

2. EMESRT Level 9 Collision Avoidance

We specialize in Control Level 9 (Auto-Stop/Auto-Evasion) implementation, ensuring that inter-machine communication triggers the correct safety protocols regardless of the equipment's brand.

3. Cross-OEM FMS Integration

We design middle-layer software solutions that allow data from disparate Fleet Management Systems (e.g., Cat MineStar and Komatsu Modular) to be synthesized into a single "Source of Truth" for site-wide optimization.

The Business Case for Interoperability

• Reduce Vendor Lock-in: Maintain leverage in procurement cycles by ensuring any machine can integrate into your existing autonomy stack.
• Safety Synchronization: Eliminate the risk of "dead zones" where different safety protocols fail to communicate.
• Unified Analytics: Get a single view of asset health and productivity across your entire heterogeneous fleet.
