RUC Mining managing director Barry Upton said: “RCT provides flexibility across all OEM’s fleet offerings, and in addition, the company extends itself to broader mine information management.
“This partnership aims to further build on this adaptability and realise an automated connected mine, unconstrained by the limitations of a single original equipment manufacturer OEM supplier.”
According to RUC, RCT was selected after taking into consideration its expertise in technical solutions innovation, particularly in loader automation.
