LinkOA delivers at scale - 300 million tonnes moved autonomously

Epiroc has reached a significant milestone in its autonomous haulage program: more than 300 million tonnes of material have now been moved autonomously at the Roy Hill mine, operated by Hancock Iron Ore, using LinkOA.

To date, Epiroc and Hancock Iron Ore have completed the conversion of 78 haul trucks from manual to autonomous operation. The fleet has now completed over 1.2 million autonomous haul cycles and traveled autonomously more than 7 million kilometers safely.

This latest milestone is a clear demonstration of what LinkOA and Open Autonomy can deliver: safe, efficient, and proven autonomous solutions that give mines the freedom to automate on their terms — regardless of fleet size or equipment brand.
