Company Profile

Modular Mining Systems, Inc., founded in 1979, has grown to be the world's leader in mine management technology. We are part of the Komatsu family of companies that set the industry's standards for quality and performance.

Modular's Corporate Headquarters is located in Tucson, Arizona where we design and test our products. Modular utilizes the services of subcontractors to manufacture key components for use in our systems. Each supplier selected by Modular has undergone rigorous compliance testing and is ISO 9001 registered. Final testing, crating, and shipping take place at our facilities in Tucson. Regional offices in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Indonesia, Peru, and South Africa provide local sales and support. Today Modular's global network of facilities ensures support is available for our clients, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

With over 130 systems placed worldwide, our customer list reads like a "Who's Who" of the mining industry—Anglo American, BHP Billiton, CODELCO, CVRD, Phelps Dodge, and many others. Modular has the experience of working with the best known, best run mines in the world, and we're proud of our contribution to their success.

Modular works with clients to design systems tailored to their specific needs. We examine each mine's operations and provide a suite of applications and optional functions that allow you to maximize the productivity of each system and protect your investment for the long run. This process ensures an optimum configuration for each system, and clients get what they need to meet their requirements—not someone else's.

Our products are designed to integrate mine operations, both open cast and underground, in real-time by using the latest in communications, information, and GPS technology. These products allow mines to carefully manage all their assets at all times, and optimize the productivity of the entire mining cycle. This saves our clients millions of dollars every year and gives them the competitive edge in productivity.

Modular has also extended its technology product line to include autonomous haulage and real-time rail management.

Driverless (autonomous) haul truck fleets can now operate at full capacity in world class mining operations. Modular's revolutionary Autonomous Haulage System provides cost effective options for mines seeking to improve production capability and increase safety, while reducing operating costs. The system integrates the latest in high-precision Global Positioning System (GPS), vital signs monitoring, and safety technologies. The IntelliMine^® mine management system, incorporating DISPATCH^®, acts as the real-time supervisory system for this advanced technology. Autonomous haul trucks are a logical and important next step toward efficiency, reduced labor and maintenance costs, and capacity gains.

The SmarTrain^® Real-time Rail Management System helps plan, supervise, and dispatch train movements. By applying the same technologies used in mine management (GPS, wireless communications, and information management), Modular has developed a state-of-the-art integrated control center system—one of the first to be successfully deployed anywhere in the world—that utilizes GPS tracking to significantly improve the railroad operation. The SmarTrain^® System brings the same productivity gains achieved by the mining industry to railway companies across the globe.
