2026 Agenda Sessions
Tech-In-Action - Predict. Prevent. Perform: The Uptime Advantage of Cat® Condition Monitoring
Caterpillar Mining will showcase how Condition Monitoring is reshaping the mining industry by turning reactive maintenance into proactive asset management. This session will explore how Caterpillar’s predictive maintenance technologies, powered by Cat® Foresight and a global network of Condition Monitoring Analysts (CMAs), deliver measurable customer value through increased uptime, reduced repair costs and optimized fleet performance.
This Tec- in-Action session will demonstrate how Caterpillar’s data-driven insights have helped customers avoid costly failures, including in a recent case, condition monitoring that helped a customer avoid several potential failures – saving them approximately $2.6 million over the course of one year. These interventions are not theoretical; they’re real, repeatable and scalable across mining operations globally.
Aligned with Indaba’s 2026 theme, “Stronger Together: Progress Through Partnerships,” this presentation will highlight how Caterpillar collaborates with Cat dealers and customers to deliver outcomes. From high-touch support for Tier 1 mine sites to scalable solutions for construction fleets, Caterpillar’s approach ensures that every customer receives the right insights at the right time, turning the unplanned into planned and driving maximum customer value.
This session will demonstrate how Caterpillar Condition Monitoring is not just a technology, it’s a strategic enabler of safer, smarter, and more resilient mining operations.
