Caterpillar is extending artificial intelligence beyond mining automation into construction, field service, manufacturing and enterprise software, drawing on data from about 1.6 million connected assets and more than 16 petabytes of structured information. Its Cat AI Assistant helps customers, operators and technicians use voice commands to access repair procedures, troubleshoot problems and identify parts. The company is also applying AI to site scanning, manufacturing digital twins and software development, where agents help modernize legacy code, generate and test programs, and detect defects earlier. Caterpillar plans to invest $100 million over five years to train 118,000 employees in AI, autonomy and robotics as work shifts toward human oversight of multiple machines. The expansion comes as second-quarter revenue reached a record $20.5 billion, including a 72% increase in power-generation sales to $3.10 billion amid demand tied to data centers and generative AI infrastructure.
