Cat Command Semi-Autonomous Control for Compaction
Cat Command Semi-Autonomous Control for Compaction
Command for Compaction is an operator assisted, semi-autonomous technology that automates the compaction process based on operator inputs.
DESCRIPTION
When your jobsite requires consistent and accurate compaction, Cat® Command for Compaction is right for the job.Cat Command for Compaction is an operator-assisted, semi-autonomous technology that automates the compaction process based on operator inputs for Cat vibratory soil compactors. The system uses settings the operator enters to control speed, direction, steering, and the vibration system of the compactor to provide consistent compaction results.Dramatically boost consistency, coverage, and safety through semi-autonomous equipment solutions with the all new Cat® Command for Compaction.
Cat Command for Compaction is an operator-assisted, semi-autonomous technology that automates the compaction process based on operator inputs. Command controls the speed, direction, steering, and vibration system of the soil compactor to promote consistency in compaction.

Compaction Quality
- Achieving consistent and predictable compaction results enables operators to hit compaction targets more easily.
- Cat® Command for Compaction executes compaction at a constant speed using the preset vibe setting, number of passes and specified amount of overlap.
- Cat Command is designed to help operators of any skill level increase process control and overlap precision.
Eliminate Skill Gaps
- Cat Command for Compaction performs at a constant speed using the preset vibe setting, number of passes and specified amount of overlap, no matter who is in the seat.
- Cat Command ensures a uniform compaction process, regardless of operator skill level
Up to 60% Better Coverage
Image simulates compaction coverage.
- Using Cat Command keeps compaction parameters consistent.
- The Cat Command for Compaction system utilizes dual RTK correction to provide precision GPS which can achieve up to 60% more coverage compared to a novice operator.*
*Productivity improvement based on product testing of the Command for Compaction system and a novice operator on their first project not utilizing the technology when executing six machine passes in a defined area. Productivity measured as drum coverage and verified by recorded pass count percentages. Test conducted by Caterpillar at Tucson, AZ USA in November 2018.
Technology Made Simple
- Cat Command is simple to set up with no need for back-office work or site designs for the system to operate.
- Cat Command connects to commonly-used base stations.
- The operator tells the system WHERE to compact by using the machine to physically define the compaction boundary or by loading a previously recorded and saved area from the display.
- Using three simple inputs, the operator tells the system HOW to compact:
- Number of passes to make at each amplitude setting
- Ground speed
- Amount of overlap
- After verifying the area is safe and clear, the operator engages Cat Command and the system executes compaction.
Enhanced Jobsite Safety
- Cat Command includes features that aid in safe machine operation.
- An integrated Object Detection System alerts the operator to objects in the path of the machine.
- Object detection is functional whether the machine is in Auto or the operator is manually moving the machine.
- Machine interlocks help promote proper operation if predetermined parameters are not met.
