Autonomy
Thiess is a leader in autonomous mining services.
Join us as we continue to forge a path towards safer, more efficient sustainable mining.
Operasi pengeboran dan peledakan yang tepat menjadi dasar untuk penambangan yang hemat biaya karena memengaruhi kualitas sebagian besar kegiatan penambangan hilir.
Autonomy enables sustainable operations through enhanced safety, increased productivity and improved efficiency.
Our autonomous fleet includes drilling and haulage systems and semi-autonomous tractor systems. We have expertise in feasibility assessment, autonomous project planning, training operators for autonomous equipment, building remote operation centres and managing sites with both fully-autonomous or mixed fleets.
We also manage remote WIFI and LTE networks to enable reliable connectivity. Our autonomous systems can also be leveraged for mine site rehabilitation.
Autonomous drilling systems
We manage 9 autonomous drills from two OEMs.
Autonomous haulage systems
We manage 30 autonomous haulage trucks.
Semi-autonomous tractor systems
We manage 6 autonomous dozers.
#Our experience
Our autonomy journey began in 2012.
Over the last decade, Thiess has combined leading-edge insight with our extensive operational experience to provide a range of autonomous services, helping our clients realise the benefits of automation sooner.
#Autonomy Achievements
With the support of our OEM partners, Thiess have achieved impressive results with autonomous and semi-autonomous assets.
2019 - 2023
First company globally to deploy Cat MineStar Command for hauling, drilling and dozing.
2019
First mining services provider to deploy Epiroc Pit Viper drill fitted with autonomy.
2022
First operation globally to control Cat SATS dozers from a remote operating station (850km away) and Cat autonomous drill (120km away).
2023
First to deploy autonomous hauling and drilling at the same site and on a private LTE network.
2019 - 2026
24 million BCM moved autonomously since launch.
2019 - 2026
7 million metres drilled autonomously since launch.
2023- 2026
Over 192 million tonnes moved autonomously since launch.
2019 - 2026
Over 4.4 million kilometres travelled autonomously since launch.
Case Study
One million metres at Mt Arthur South
In 2024, Thiess, WesTrac and Caterpillar hit one million metres drilled autonomously using a fleet Cat MD-series drills running with the Cat MineStar™ Command Autonomous Drill System (ADS).
The three-year program, enabled a remotely located operator to control three drills, a Cat MD6250 and two MD6310s, at once. The autonomous drills delivered a 20% improvement in performance, up to 8% reduction in fuel use, more consistent drill hole quality, accuracy and depth, and drill utilisation of up to 23 hrs a day.
#10% less unit costs, 25% higher utilisation
From deploying six Caterpillar D11 dozers with the Cat MineStar Semi-Autonomous Tractor System (SATS).

#Careers in Autonomy
Thiess is proud to develop new career pathways for machine operators.
We have recently launched an in-house Autonomous Haulage Controller Program to strengthen internal capability to safely and effectively scale autonomy across projects.
The purpose-built program is designed to equip both AH Controllers and Fleet Controllers with the knowledge, skills, and confidence required to effectively manage autonomous haulage fleets in a way that aligns directly with the operational needs of our clients.
