Mining sites are among the most dangerous industrial environments, involving heavy machinery, blasting operations, dust, low visibility, and continuous vehicle movement. Ensuring worker safety and preventing major incidents requires reliable, real-time monitoring across large and complex outdoor/underground areas.
Fuwee provides advanced AI-based video analytics for mining environments, seamlessly integrating with existing cameras to detect safety violations, fire risks, equipment hazards, and unauthorized access. Our solutions help mining operators enhance safety, reduce accidents, and maintain regulatory compliance.
✅ Key Safety Challenges in Mining Sites
-
High fire risk due to fuel storage, equipment overheating, and blasting operations
-
Heavy truck and machinery movement (dump trucks, loaders, excavators)
-
PPE non-compliance in hazardous zones
-
Unauthorized entry into restricted or dangerous areas
-
Low visibility due to dust, darkness, and weather
-
Worker–vehicle collision risks
-
Difficult terrain and wide-area coverage requirements
✅ How Fuwee AI Improves Mining Site Safety
1. Fire & Smoke Detection
-
Detects early-stage fire in fuel storage, mining pits, tunnels, and warehouses
-
Works in dusty, low-light, and outdoor mining environments
-
Faster warning than traditional fire sensors
2. PPE Monitoring (Helmet, Vest, Uniform)
-
Detects missing safety helmets or protective clothing
-
Enforces safety compliance in high-risk areas
-
Reduces dependence on manual inspection
3. Heavy Vehicle & Machinery Detection
-
Identifies mining trucks, excavators, loaders, drilling rigs, and support vehicles
-
Detects dangerous vehicle–worker proximity
-
Warns when machinery enters restricted areas
4. Unauthorized Entry Detection
-
Protects hazardous zones such as blasting areas and restricted tunnels
-
Prevents accidental entry into dangerous zones
5. Wide-Area Monitoring Across Challenging Terrain
