// Industry playbook / 05
Watch pit, plant, and haul roads to enforce safety, estimate stockpile volumes, and detect process faults.
From perception to action — the outcomes our agents are measured on.
| Function | KPI | AI enhancement |
|---|---|---|
| PPE & Hazard Zone Monitoring | Lost-Time Injury Frequency Rate | Detect missing PPE and unauthorised entry into blast, crusher and restricted areas in real time. |
| Vehicle & Personnel Proximity | Near-Miss Rate | Track haul trucks, light vehicles and people to flag proximity breaches and blind-spot exposure on haul roads. |
| Fatigue & Distraction | Driver Incident Rate | In-cab monitoring for fatigue, distraction and seat-belt compliance across the haul fleet. |
| Function | KPI | AI enhancement |
|---|---|---|
| Volumetric Estimation | Stockpile Accuracy | Estimate stockpile and truck-load volumes from fixed and drone imagery, reconciled against weighbridge data. |
| Cycle & Turnaround Monitoring | Truck Turnaround Time | ANPR at gates and weighbridges with automated cycle timing across load, haul, dump and return. |
| Function | KPI | AI enhancement |
|---|---|---|
| Ore & Material Inspection | Grade Consistency | Visual classification of fragmentation, oversize and contamination on feed conveyors. |
| Conveyor & Plant Integrity | Unplanned Downtime | Detect belt misalignment, spillage, blockage and hot spots before they cascade into stoppages. |
| Function | KPI | AI enhancement |
|---|---|---|
| Perimeter Intrusion | Security Incidents | Perimeter, magazine and fuel-farm intrusion detection with verified alerts and clip evidence. |
| Dust, Spill & Water Monitoring | Environmental Compliance Rate | Detect dust events, spills and tailings-area anomalies with timestamped visual records for reporting. |
Mining sites are high-consequence environments where a single proximity breach or undetected conveyor fault carries enormous cost. Cameras are everywhere; attention is not.
Vision agents watch pit, plant, haul roads and weighbridges continuously, escalating hazards in seconds and turning material movement into measurable, auditable data.
// Key applications
// How the system works
Models run on ruggedised edge hardware at the pit and plant, so detection survives intermittent connectivity.
Haul roads, exclusion zones, weighbridges and stockpile pads are mapped once and applied across every feed.
Vision events correlate with FMS, weighbridge and SCADA data to produce a single operational picture.
Verified alerts reach control room, supervisors and safety leads with clip evidence attached for investigation.

// Case snapshots
Challenge · Light-vehicle interactions with haul trucks were reported only when someone chose to report them.
Challenge · Belt misalignment and spillage were found on inspection rounds, often after damage was done.

Use cameras to catch defects, enforce PPE, and keep production lines moving with fewer manual inspections.
Track every item from dock to truck with cameras and RFID. Stop misloads, cut dwell time, and prove chain of custody.
Use existing cameras to monitor shelves, queues, and store traffic. Reduce stockouts, wait times, and shrink.
Turn existing cameras into safety, progress, and traffic monitors for construction sites and public assets.
We'll map your KPIs to the agents that move them, then run a pilot on the cameras you already have.
