Important results from the project
Remote operation of construction machinery was successfully demonstrated between geographically separated sites, confirming system mobility and flexibility. The project delivered results in communication, maintenance, organization, user interfaces, cybersecurity, and productivity, while identifying key development needs such as improved operator support, remote diagnostics, and secure communication. It also established a prioritized roadmap for pilot deployment and industrialization.
Expected long term effects
The project creates a foundation for the industrialization of remote operation of construction equipment. By validating technology, productivity, cybersecurity, operator support, maintenance, and organizational requirements, it has defined the key conditions for safe and scalable deployment. The results provide a prioritized requirements framework and a basis for production-oriented pilots, standardized solutions, and future expansion across multiple machines, sites, and industrial applications.
Approach and implementation
The project was carried out as a multidisciplinary collaboration between Volvo CE, Boliden, Mälardalen University and Karlstad University. The work was organized into six work packages: mobility, service and maintenance, organization, user interfaces, cybersecurity, and productivity. Through technology development, field trials, interviews, user testing, risk assessments, and comparative measurements, remote operation was evaluated in realistic underground and surface mining environments.
