Mining Safety

Our technology is here to support a safe operational culture

Safety in Mining

Our Collision Avoidance System and Pedestrian Detection System Solutions give operators the real-time awareness they need to stay safe, with alerts and visual cues delivered directly to the cab. These systems help reduce blind spots, prevent incidents, and support compliance across all types of machinery, from excavators and dozers to drill rigs and supervisor vehicles.

With flexible integration and intelligent detection, they’re built to create safer, more responsive worksites across varied terrains and climates.

At Aptella, we offer two powerful solutions designed to reduce risk and improve awareness in high-risk environments:

  • TORSA: Collision Avoidance System (CAS)
  • Blindsight: Pedestrian Detection System (PDS)

TORSA

TORSA’s CAS is a high-precision safety solution built for all HME, haul trucks, auxiliary vehicles, and light vehicles in mining environments.

Using integrated technologies like LIDAR 3D, RTK GPS, Time of Flight sensors, AI camera and radiofrequency communications, the system delivers centimetre-level accuracy to detect vehicles, people, and environmental hazards.

It alerts operators to nearby risks, including berms, mining fronts, and large rocks, and can even intervene at Control Level 9 if required.

Backed by a predictive algorithm that reduces false positives, TORSA supports compliance with EMESRT and ISO 21815 standards and integrates seamlessly with TORSA Cloud for site-wide reporting and safety management.

Blindsight

Advanced AI Safety for Mining Operations

Mining operations are some of the most complex and high-risk industrial environments on earth. Blindsight is purpose-built to meet these challenges. Using our industry-leading AI vision technology, Blindsight detects, alerts and informs crews about the hazards that matter most.

When the system detects a potentially dangerous situation, it alerts the operator, calling their attention to the risk before it turns into a costly accident.

Real-Time
Operator Alerts

Instant notifications for high-risk interactions such as personnel in exclusion zones or vehicles in blind spots.

Actionable Data for Supervisors

Automated reporting for daily pre-starts/toolbox talks and worksite safety benchmarking.

Rapid Install Across Fleet & Sites

Easily fitted to haul trucks, excavators, graders, light vehicles and fixed plant.

Configurable
Safety Zones

Customise alerts per machine or location (e.g. only when reversing).

Intelligent Object Recognition

Detects people, other plant, light vehicles, traffic cones and more in real time.

Proactive
Safety Insights

Video and map-based reporting with heat maps to identify near misses and train crews before incidents occur.

The results

Fewer incidents, faster investigations, stronger safety culture, and measurable improvement in your safety KPI’s, all without slowing production.

We help mining operations take a proactive approach to safety with intelligent technologies that detect and respond to hazards in real time, integrate seamlessly across all machinery, and support zero harm through flexible deployment and powerful reporting.
