Caterpillar is bringing to AI deployment what it learned from automating mining

Caterpillar is extending its autonomous-mining expertise to broader construction and job-site environments, deploying AI-driven tools such as the Cat AI Assistant for voice-guided repairs and software that creates digital twins for operational analysis. The company will invest $100 million over five years to train its 118,000 employees in AI, autonomy and robotics, while its quarterly revenue hit a record $20.5 billion, with power-generation sales up 72% to $3.10 billion.
