Real-time perception for heavy industry

Protect people. Protect production.

A single collision, cable strike or safety incident costs hours of production. Bigmate sees the hazard and brings the machine to a controlled stop.

Trusted across mining,
manufacturing and food production

Hierarchy of control

Delivering productivity optimised engineering controls.

01

Elimination

Removing the hazard outright. Not available while the work still has to be done.

02

Substitution

Swapping in something safer. Heavy plant has no safer equivalent.

Bigmate’s Delivery of Controls

03

Engineering controls

Keeping people, machinery and terrain apart, and acting on the equipment itself: a controlled stop, not a warning.

04

Administrative controls

Visual alerts at the moment they matter, and every detection, distance and stop recorded, so procedures rest on what actually happened.

99.99986%

Detection accuracy in live operation

Across 2,689,870 minutes of analytics, and counting.

05

PPE

Protection worn at the point of impact. The last line, not the first.

Most effective

Least effective

“Every single obstacle that we found, they found a solution.”

How it works

Every Bigmate system runs on the same core.

A mine site, a warehouse floor or a production line. Underneath, each one senses, understands and acts the same way.

  1. A camera and LiDAR sensor mounted high above a working industrial yard

    01

    Sense

    Cameras, LiDAR and machine data build a live picture of the environment, often from the cameras a site already has.

  2. Illustration: a loader and a worker in a stockpile yard, each marked with the path it has taken, with the loader's zone drawn on the ground around it and the edge of the stockpile traced
    • Person or machine
    • Recent path
    • Terrain edge
    • Zone

    02

    Understand

    Edge AI checks what it sees against the rules you set, and against what good looks like. The decision is made on site, where the work is.

  3. An amber warning beacon lit while a loader sits stopped and a worker stands clear

    03

    Act

    It acts through the controls already on site.

    When a rule is met, the response goes straight into the equipment that can carry it out.

    • Slows or stops a machine through its drive
    • Trips an alarm or a PLC
    • Rejects a defect, or holds it for review
    • Records every event for the report
