Build the intangible foundation of technology
Although artificial intelligence is accelerating the transformation of all industries, it still relies on the real world - the intangible cornerstone of modern technological development. Caterpillar manufactures, empowers and makes mechanical equipment smarter. Through these devices, which are widely used in the mining of critical minerals needed for semiconductors and batteries, as well as in the construction of roads, Bridges, data centers and energy systems, Caterpillar is driving progress in the real world.
Cat AI Assistant
Transform data into on-site construction decisions
Cat AI Assistant is a powerful AI solution launched by Caterpillar, which can integrate Caterpillar's rich and diverse portfolio of digital application solutions and high-quality data into a simple conversational experience.
With Caterpillar's own trusted data stored on the Helios unified data platform, the Cat AI assistant provides customers with reliable and detailed information, making daily work easier. The goal of Cat AI Assistant is to help customers always stay ahead - from the office to the construction site, and even in the equipment cab soon.
Expand cooperation with NVIDIA
Artificial intelligence intersects with the real world
Caterpillar and NVIDIA have announced an expansion of their partnership to accelerate their progress towards an AI-enabled future. The collaboration encompasses the development of on-board AI capabilities, AI agents suitable for product and industry scales, as well as safer, leaner, and more resilient production systems. This collaboration leverages NVIDIA's AI infrastructure and Caterpillar's century-old experience in building and maintaining the real world to set a new benchmark for industrial innovation.
