PAMA Leads the Way in Automation at Kalimantan Coal Mine with RCT Technology

Indonesia – PT Pamapersada Nusantara (PAMA), a prominent mining contractor, has made a groundbreaking achievement by becoming the first open-pit coal mine in the region to implement automation technology at its Kalimantan coal mine site. For this milestone, RCT was selected to provide the necessary technology to enhance safety and operational efficiency.

RCT’s advanced Automation technology has been successfully integrated across PAMA’s dozer fleet, which includes two Komatsu Dozers (D155 and D375). These dozers have been fitted with Line-Of-Sight and portable vision systems, allowing operators to maintain a clearer view of their surroundings, ultimately improving safety standards on site.

“This project marks an important and historic step forward in improving operational safety management within Indonesia’s coal mining sector,” said Pak Ridha, Head of SHE (Safety, Health, and Environment) Management Development Department at PAMA.

The decision to transition from manual operations to automation was driven by safety considerations.

“Mining is inherently dangerous, with several high-risk areas, especially when operating bulldozers near water, mud, cliffs, heights, and land-clearing zones. With this technological application, we can significantly reduce the risk associated with these areas,” Mr. Ridha explained.

According to Shane Smith, Account Manager at RCT, the company’s agnostic technology was designed specifically to address such challenges.

“Our solution was perfect for enhancing safety by removing operators from the dozer, enabling them to perform their roles from a safer position on site,” said Mr. Smith. “The dozers are typically used in tailing ponds and dams, areas that are particularly hazardous due to the potential for slips and the risk of the dozers becoming stuck.”

The project was managed by RCT’s bespoke division, RCT Custom, which added portable vision to the standard off-the-shelf solution.

“At RCT, we are dedicated to meeting our clients’ specific needs. That’s where our Custom department comes in. They are able to deliver tailored solutions that perfectly suit the requirements of our clients, something we take great pride in,” Mr. Smith added.

He also praised the professionalism and expertise of the PAMA team. “It’s been a pleasure working with the PAMA team—they are incredibly professional, approachable, and quick to understand the technology,” he said.

Mr. Ridha confirmed that PAMA will continue to develop and implement this technology, which he believes will give the company a competitive edge and support the long-term sustainability of its business.

RCT is proud to have contributed to this landmark project in the region, providing a solution that enhances safety, reduces risk, and improves operational efficiency.
