Robotic connection technology for safer, faster, fully automated charging

To further extend the point of charge capabilities, ABB has introduced the eMine™ Robot Automated Connection Device (ACD). The latest addition 
to our ABB eMine™ FastCharge solution. This fully automated, high power connection device enables fast, reliable charging without human 
intervention.

Unveiled in 2024 and currently undergoing field testing at Boliden’s Aitik mine in northern Sweden, the Robot ACD was developed in close 
collaboration with Boliden and Komatsu. It is designed to allow further interoperability with both current and future truck connections and 
interfaces.

Built for the world’s most demanding mining environments, the Robot ACD is engineered for precision, reliability, and continuous operation in all 
mining conditions.
