Mining
Mining safety AI that enforces PPE, watches for fatigue and reckless driving, and keeps people out of restricted zones around heavy vehicles, in real time.

Alfabeta's mining safety AI is an end-to-end, AI-based solution built to ensure safety-procedure compliance, detect heavy-duty vehicles and identify people in restricted areas across a working site. Instead of relying on periodic manual checks, computer vision watches entrances, work zones and haul routes continuously, so hazards are caught and escalated the moment they appear rather than after an incident. The system is designed for sites where human supervision alone cannot cover every pit, haul road and processing area around the clock.
Safety starts at the gate. An attendance record system combined with access limitation uses face recognition to confirm that only inducted, authorized workers enter, and PPE detection verifies that every worker is wearing their personal protective equipment correctly before they proceed. On site, the platform performs reckless-driving behavior detection: it monitors drivers' behavior while they operate site vehicles and sends a real-time notification to the command center whenever a driver is operating recklessly or in a dangerous manner, so unsafe operation is addressed immediately rather than discovered later.
Around heavy machinery the system combines people detection, object detection, vehicle counting and classification to understand who and what is moving where. Proximity and restricted-zone monitoring flags people and light vehicles near heavy equipment and detects unauthorized entry into blast, exclusion or hazard areas, using intruder detection and prevention to raise the alarm at the moment of breach. Dwelling measurement adds context by recording how long a person or vehicle remains in a sensitive area. Every one of these events reaches operators and safety officers through the command center so response is coordinated and fast.
Because every alert is captured, the platform turns safety into organized, integrated data records rather than scattered paperwork. Operators report fewer field accidents, a healthier and safer working environment, faster and more precise problem solving, and real cost savings by eliminating repeated, avoidable errors. The result is stronger safety-culture accountability backed by auditable evidence for investigations and regulatory reporting.
Operator Fatigue Detection
In-cab computer vision monitors haul-truck and equipment operators for drowsiness and distraction and can alert before a lapse becomes a collision. It complements reckless-driving behavior detection so both the alertness and the driving conduct of every operator are covered on long shifts.
PPE Compliance Monitoring
PPE detection automatically verifies that every worker is wearing the required protective equipment correctly at site entry and in work zones, so non-compliance is caught before a worker proceeds rather than noticed after the fact. It runs alongside the access system so entry and PPE status are checked together.
Proximity & Collision Warning
People detection, object detection and vehicle detection work together to identify workers and light vehicles near heavy machinery, flagging dangerous proximity so struck-by incidents can be prevented. Vehicle counting and classification give operators a clear picture of what is moving around each machine.
Restricted Zone Alerts
Intruder detection and prevention flag unauthorized entry into blast, exclusion or hazard areas the moment it happens, and dwelling measurement records how long any person or object remains inside a restricted or sterile area, giving safety officers both the breach and its duration.
Personnel Access Control
Face recognition drives an attendance record system with access limitation, confirming that only inducted, authorized workers enter the site. Entry and exit are logged automatically, creating an accurate record of who was on site and when for both safety and workforce management.
Safety Event Logging
Every alert including PPE violations, reckless driving, proximity breaches and restricted-zone entries is recorded with video evidence into organized, integrated data records. Notifications reach the command center in real time, and the stored history supports investigations and regulatory reporting.
Frequently asked questions
How does the system enforce PPE and site access?
At the entry and exit gate, an attendance record system with access limitation uses face recognition to confirm that only inducted, authorized workers can enter, and PPE detection verifies that each worker is wearing their protective equipment correctly before they proceed. Because the two run together, a worker who is unrecognized or missing required PPE is flagged at the boundary rather than after they are already on site.
What driver behaviors does the mining safety AI detect?
The platform performs behavior detection on drivers operating site vehicles and sends a real-time notification to the command center whenever someone is driving recklessly or in a dangerous manner. This is complemented by in-cab fatigue and distraction monitoring, so both how a vehicle is being driven and whether the operator is alert are covered, letting supervisors intervene before an incident occurs.
How does it prevent people from being struck by heavy vehicles?
People detection, object detection and vehicle detection operate together to recognize workers and light vehicles near heavy machinery and flag dangerous proximity. Restricted and hazard zones are guarded by intruder detection and prevention that raise an alarm the moment an unauthorized person or vehicle enters, and dwelling measurement records how long they remain, giving safety officers the information they need to respond.
Are alerts sent in real time, and to whom?
Yes. Detections such as PPE violations, reckless driving, dangerous proximity and restricted-zone entries generate real-time notifications to the command center, where operators and safety officers monitor the site. Coordinating alerts through a single center is part of building a reliable communication system, so the right people are informed immediately and can act with accuracy and precision.
What records does the system keep for compliance and investigations?
Every alert is logged with video evidence into organized, integrated data records rather than scattered paperwork. That history gives HSE teams an auditable trail for accident investigations and regulatory reporting, and over time it supports a stronger safety culture by making it clear which procedures are followed and where repeated, avoidable errors are driving unnecessary cost and risk.
