DRProx

Integral Protection for Safe Maneuvers

Innovative solutions

In open-pit mining, unsafe maneuvers can lead to serious accidents. DRProx is the innovative solution to reduce risks, protect operators and optimize operational safety.

The problem

Unsafe maneuvers, such as incorrect reversals and misaligned movements, represent a significant hazard in mining. This can result in fatal equipment accidents and operational loss.

Lack of situational awareness among haul truck operators is a leading cause of fatalities in surface mining.

A significant proportion of these deaths occur at dump points, where contributing factors include:

Edge awareness
Unstable or poor ground conditions
Inadequate or poorly maintained berms

Mitigating these risks requires a combination of engineering controls, operator training and technology.

Our solution

First fully integrated dump point awareness solution.

DRProx combines advanced technology with real-time assistance, reducing risks and improving safety in operations.

Operator real-time guidance
Full time DVR recording for playback and analysis
Event classification for each dumping event
Empower teams to improve safety.
Enables engineers to make data-driven improvements to dump design and ground stability.
Compact. Scalable. Future-Ready
Small footprint and effortless scalability

The system features advanced detection logic that allows it to exclude the truck’s rear tires, thus optimizing monitoring accuracy in critical areas.

Key advantages for mining safety

Improved Visibility

Facilitates backing maneuvers.

Increased Safety

Reference lines help stop equipment before the berm.

Dynamic Alerts

Alarms adjusted to the proximity of objects.

Complete Monitoring

Radar and cameras detect vehicles and people in blind zones.

Reporting:

Useful for determining which operators are spotting too close to the berm and for investigating minor accidents.

The DRProx system has the following key features:

Audible and Visual Alerts:
Prevent collisions with the berm and pedestrians.
Black Box for Analysis:
Records incidents for future investigation.
Universal Compatibility:
Installs on equipment from manufacturers such as CAT, Komatsu, Liebherr.
Safe Operation:
Operates at low speed and when the truck is stopped. Night vision capability.
