The players are focused on providing autonomous solutions that improve both cost and efficiency in mining operations. The suppliers are expanding their product offerings by including tele-remote functioning, AHS, and ADS solutions. Multiple suppliers are either retrofitting self-driving technology into their current inventory of equipment or developing a new line of autonomous products to establish a foothold in the industry. Caterpillar Inc. & Komatsu Ltd. now have autonomous truck lineups, whilst Rio Tinto Group has converted 19 Cat 793F mining tractors for autonomous operations. 

Caterpillar Inc. has also deployed Cat Command for Hauling software for the driverless fleet. For example, in April 2022, Microsoft purchased Minit, one of the leading providers in procedure mining technology that assists businesses in transforming the way they analyse, manage, and optimize their processes. The programme seeks to increase process mining through automation, assisting clients in digitally transforming and driving functional excellence by establishing a complete image of their company's procedures, allowing every function to be smoothly and automatically analyzed and refined.
