Sandvik launches AutoMine Aura, a rebuilt autonomy platform with 3D perception, first on loaders
Sandvik announced AutoMine Aura, the biggest change to AutoMine since it began over 20 years ago. A new navigation system with 3D perception gives the machine a view all around it; in a harsh underground mine it moved over 15% more material. It starts on loaders and will spread to other Sandvik machines.
- The new navigation uses 3D perception; the over-15% gain came from one of the harshest underground mines.
- AutoMine runs in more than 140 mines with nearly 9 million hours without a lost-time injury.
- Presented publicly at Sandvik's Future of Mining event in Tampere in early September 2026.
