The minister asked La Ode Huruhara several questions on technology, such as how this heavy-duty equipment could be operated automatically? This question was answered by the Minigem technician, La Ode Huruhara, who said that the Loader was already equipped with several hardware and software so that they would work together to prevent  collision when the machine was operated in the underground mines.

During the visit, the Minister of Research and Technology stated that he was deeply impressed by the highly sophisticated Minigem Automation technology.  This was for the first time he saw a heavy machinery which could be operated automatically and had been used successfully by PT Freeport Indonesia to increase productivity by minimizing the level of human risk, especially those who work in underground mines and have to deal with wet mud.

Before leaving the Minigem Control Room and concluding his visit to the underground mine, the Minister of Research and Technology expressed his appreciation to the PTFI Team and the Trakindo Minigem Team. – Trakindo Tembagapura.
