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.
Mining • world-first
Draglines
Proximity, cable strike and drive response on one fitment.
Mining
Excavators
Edges, voids, moving ground and live terrain mapping.
Mining
Dozers, haul trucks & MMUs
Terrain mapping, collision detection and 360 visibility.
Industrial
Plant & warehouse
The cameras already on site, made active and integrated.
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

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

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.
-
01
Sense
Cameras, LiDAR and machine data build a live picture of the environment, often from the cameras a site already has.
-
- 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.
-
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
