SEEN is collaborating with New Zealand Trade & Enterprise as part of a government strategic initiative (branded Koura, the Maori word for 'gold') to connect NZ technology companies with prominent mining sector stakeholders in Chile, Peru, Colombia, Mexico and Brazil.
Key insights include:- Mining operations have a high degree of people/machine interaction and collision risk
- Health & safety requirements are growing increasingly strict
- Many materials handling machines work in close proximity to pedestrian workers
- Blind spots are usually close to the machines and regarded as areas of critical risk
- 'Near miss' incidents in these critical risk areas are frequent, but are often difficult to quantify
- Existing proximity detection solutions have had low adoption rates due to their high cost, low resilience, and operational complexity.
The final insight is the reason SEEN's IRIS pedestrian detection solution has quickly gained attention from the industry, due to its unmatched affordability and simplicity.
The key benefits of SEEN's solution are:- Reduces critical risk around mobile equipment
- Influences positive behaviour change
- Works with industry standard high-vis PPE
- Plug 'n' play installation
- Reliable detection in all conditions
- Customisable, targeted detection zone
- No IT integration or scheduled maintenance required
- No ongoing cost
SEEN's Head of Sales Hamish Clark is excited by the level of interest shown by the LATAM mining sector. He says:
"The insights gained from the Koura program have been extremely encouraging and underscore SEEN's belief that the market has a high requirement for a solution like ours. Numerous mining sector customers and in-market partners have expressed interest in SEEN's technology with a number of trials underway."Contact SEEN to learn more about our IRIS pedestrian detection solution or arrange a trial.
