Qube Bulk approached RCT to develop a safer and more productive way to remove bulk cargos \u2013 such as coal, dolomite and limestone \u2013 from bulk vessels to support the Whyalla steelworks operation.<\/p>\n<p>Machine operators now stand at a safe distance and use the automation technology to carry out the full range of functions that would normally be available to them when sitting in a machine cab.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur ControlMaster solution interfaced seamlessly with the excavator\u2019s systems and offers operators the exact same functionality available to them under the original equipment manufacturers\u2019 guidelines,\u201d RCT account manager, Phill Dean, said in a statement. \u201cNow operators have a much safer and productive way of carrying out their work and ensuring
