Industries - Mining & Quarrying
Mining operations work around blast zones, haul road traffic, unstable rock faces and confined underground passages. Traditional safety monitoring relies on manual observation, radio communication, and periodic inspections that leave critical gaps during shift changes and in remote areas of the pit or tunnel network. ConductVision's technology can layer visual analytics onto existing camera infrastructure across open-pit and underground mining environments to flag people in exclusion zones and close approaches on haul roads, estimate stockpile volumes and track personnel underground.
The challenge
Mining sites operate across sprawling, multi-level geographies where visibility is obstructed by dust, weather, and terrain. Haul trucks and heavy equipment share roads with light vehicles and personnel, creating collision risks that intensify during shift changes and low-visibility conditions. Blast zone clearance verification depends on manual headcounts and radio confirmation, and stockpile measurement requires periodic surveyor visits that produce data already stale by the time it reaches production planners.
Our solution
ConductVision can process feeds from pit-rim cameras, haul road intersections, portal entries, and drone overflights to detect personnel in exclusion zones, monitor vehicle proximity on haul roads, and generate volumetric estimates of stockpiles from multi-angle imagery. Underground camera networks can track personnel location and detect ventilation anomalies, cap lamp status, and equipment positioning.

Use cases
Ways ConductVision can help at Mining & Quarrying sites.
Blast Zone Clearance Verification
Cameras positioned around blast perimeters can scan for personnel, vehicles, and livestock within exclusion zones before shot-firing sequences. Visual confirmation of zone clearance can supplement radio roll-call procedures, providing an independent verification layer.
Haul Road Collision Avoidance
Intersection cameras can detect light vehicles, personnel on foot, and equipment approaching haul road crossings simultaneously. Close approaches below a separation distance you set can be flagged for dispatchers to review.
Stockpile Volumetric Measurement
Multi-angle cameras and periodic drone imagery can estimate the volume of material stockpiles. Estimates can be updated daily or on demand, giving production planners current inventory data without waiting for manual surveys.
Underground Personnel Tracking
Cameras at portal entries, refuge chambers, and key intersections can track personnel entering, moving through, and exiting underground workings. Location data can support emergency musters and exclusion zone monitoring in active headings during blasting and ground support operations.
Equipment Monitoring and Utilization
Visual tracking of excavators, loaders, haul trucks, and drill rigs can capture operational states including active digging, hauling, idling, and maintenance downtime. Utilization metrics by equipment type and shift can inform fleet optimization decisions and rental versus purchase analysis.
Slope Stability Visual Monitoring
Fixed cameras on pit walls can capture imagery at regular intervals for change detection analysis, identifying bench crest movement, tension crack development, and surface water drainage issues. Progressive deformation can be tracked over days and weeks, providing geotechnical engineers with visual evidence to supplement prism and radar monitoring.
