Resources

Heavy industry is dynamic — especially when it comes to extracting and processing raw materials for energy or manufacturing.

Bigmate is an established specialist in making resources operations safer and more productive using a combination of practical optical, radar, lidar and hyperspectral imagery equipment and proprietary Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies.

What you can do in Resources with Bigmate

Reduce heavy equipment risk in the field

Bigmate’s tried and tested Warny™ platform has evolved into a 360ª safety alerting system for mobile heavy equipment including draglines. Now featuring triple threat protection in the form of lidar, radar and optical sensors, Warny Mobile is a major breakthrough in heavy industry safety systems.

It allows heavy machinery operators to:

  • detect if people or vehicles are approaching or are inside the exclusion zone of their equipment

  • automatically shutdown machinery before a person or vehicle enters a danger zone.

Meaning it’s now possible to confidently know where risks are in real time, even when line-of-sight is not possible.

Conduct QA in real-time

Bigmate’s HySpec algorithms turn hyperspectral cameras into live scanning quality analysis tools that can identify the chemical composition and concentration of raw product such as coal on the production line without any stoppages or manual intervention.

This means that:

  • No samples are wasted in the testing process as chemicals and radiation are not used

  • Throughput is sustained as there is no stopping/starting of the process to evaluate samples

  • The full production line is assessed, not just a representative sample.

Reduce human and machinery risk

Bigmate’s proven Warny technology allows resources operators to install fixed CCTV cameras at logical points throughout the facility and use Warny algorithms to watch for, capture and apply PPE detection and exclusion zone alerting and reporting rules depending on the type of vehicles and machinery being used.
