This groundbreaking collaboration aims to transform the mining industry's value chain, significantly enhancing productivity, safety, and operational efficiency.

Together they will develop advanced computer vision (CV) applications that will address challenges such as restricted area monitoring, personal protective equipment (PPE) compliance, equipment utilization monitoring, and more. By automating critical processes and providing real-time monitoring, the CV applications aim to reduce reliance on manual supervision. This leads to greater efficiency, cost reduction, increased revenue, and valuable data-driven analytics for mines.

Possible Use Cases Include: Real-time conveyor belt monitoring: Continuously monitor the health of your conveyor belt in extension of Becker Mining Systems' Belt Rip Detection System (BRS4.0) in order to detect wear, cracks, or other damage at an early stage. Exclusion zones can also be monitored to ensure that no unauthorized personnel enter dangerous areas.

Real-time alerts enable proactive intervention and minimize downtime. Optimize Cage Usage and Minimize Delays with Utilization Tracking: Track the movement of personnel and equipment through the cage/lift system. Unauthorized or inefficient use .
