Quarries

Ensuring the safety of personnel in quarries is essential as they often work in environments that are hazardous due to noise, dust, dim lighting, variable weather and the size of the site. Ensuring safety of lone workers and visitors within quarries is a key priority of all site operators. With the extensive use of mobile machinery in quarries, ensuring safety in the red zone, and ensuring safe machine pedestrian interactions is critical to sustainable quarry operations.

The Machine Eye risk management platform utilises deep learning AI to continually assess risks and hazards associated with mobile machinery usage in quarries and accurately identifies and interprets the movement of humans around these machines. Using this solution, autonomous decision making can take place to understand if a human is at risk of injury or collision. Our technology uses situational based safety algorithms, to provide a more flexible and co-operative system for safe, sustainable and uninterrupted quarry operations.

The Machine Eye platform provides operators with real time assistance, situational awareness and alarming to ensure a safe machine-pedestrian interface. The Machine Eye platform also supports management with autonomous auditing (which ensures that pedestrians do not enter “keep out” areas), and other safety critical KPIs. These are displayed to management via an interactive dashboard and reporting function.

Using Machine Eye technology, quarry operators can ensure the risk to both employees and visitors from mobile machinery is reduced to a minimum. The Machine Eye platform provides a variety of productivity efficiencies for quarries from cost savings such as recruitment and training, sustainable revenues, reduced employee down times, improved workplace safety and improved staff retention as employees feel valued and safer in the workplace.
