Safety Shield: AI-Based Detection Systems in the Mining Sector
- What is AI-based detection in mining, and why it matters – Unlike traditional sensors that depend on human awareness, AI actively “sees and thinks” to identify people and prevent collisions.
- The shift from reactive to proactive site safety – AI enables operators to predict and prevent incidents before they occur.
- Inside HSE Pacific’s Safety Shield system – Delivers human-only detection, 360° awareness, custom safety zones, and cloud-based analytics for total visibility.
- Real impact: safety, efficiency, and compliance – Over 10,000 installations with zero collisions, meeting EMESRT Level 7–9 standards.
- The future of mining safety is data-driven – Continuous learning and real-time analytics are driving a zero-harm future in mining.
Inside HSE Pacific’s Safety Shield System
HSE Pacific’s Safety Shield represents the cutting edge of AI-driven safety for heavy plant and mobile equipment. Built for the demanding conditions of Australian mining, it delivers unmatched accuracy, compliance, and insight.
Human-Only Detection Accuracy
Unlike motion sensors that trigger on animals, vehicles, or debris, Safety Shield’s AI focuses solely on the human form. This reduces false alarms, minimises operator fatigue, and ensures every alert signals genuine danger, even in low-visibility conditions. Its 99.6% accuracy rate provides confidence to both operators and safety managers.
Customisable Safety Zones
Each machine can be mapped with yellow (caution) and red (stop) zones up to 50 metres around the vehicle. These configurable perimeters ensure the system adapts perfectly to each mine’s layout, traffic flow, and risk profile.
360° Awareness & Auto-Intervention
Safety Shield provides full 360° proximity coverage. The system delivers audible and visual alerts to the operator and can even trigger automatic braking or hydraulic cut-off, preventing incidents when visibility or reaction time is compromised.
Cloud-Based Safety Shield HUB
Safety doesn’t stop with the operator. The Safety Shield HUB gives site managers live access to detection data, GPS tracking, heat maps, and incident logs from anywhere. With HSE Pacific’s Safety Intelligence Platform (SIP), this enables detailed reporting, regulatory compliance, and allows ongoing performance tracking that turns safety data into actionable insights.
