Field challenges

High-risk sitesSee clearly before acting

Illustration of an open-pit field inspection

Use equipment to gather information first.Organize inspections and remote reviews around actual tasks so people can focus onassessment and response.

01

High-risk areas are hard to reach

Slopes, tailings facilities and complex terrain make in-person visits more costly.

Gather information first, then let people assess

Equipment gathers site information where conditions permit; people confirm the risk and next steps.

Explore the capability
02

Large sites are hard to inspect fully

Slopes, roads and facilities are spread out, so inspections must be organized around the task.

Organize inspections by task

Define the inspection scope and deliverables, then transmit and archive results as conditions allow.

Explore the capability
03

The same issue sends teams searching again

Imagery, models and inspection records are scattered, making it hard for remote teams to share context.

Organize by location and time

Link site imagery and task records for search and review by location and time.

Explore the capability
04

Findings need a clear path to action

Connect findings, owners and feedback so information is not lost during handover.

Collaborate around the same site

Bring findings and related records together so people can confirm the issue and response.

Explore the capability

See the same sitePlan the next step together

AI collaboration is a future direction; people make key judgments and response records support later review.

Coordinated response

Available for private or cloud deployment, with integration based on site conditions.

A safety task, step by step

People confirm each step; records follow the task throughout

Find an issue and locate it

From finding to feedback, from field to review

Find an issue and locate it

01

Find an issue and locate it

Link an unusual finding to a facility, area and task, then decide whether more evidence is needed.

Organize a check and gather evidence

02

Organize a check and gather evidence

Define the check around slopes, roads and facilities, and confirm weather, airspace and equipment status.

Review remotely and decide how to respond

03

Review remotely and decide how to respond

Review site imagery and related records; people assess the issue and confirm the next step.

Report, review and archive

04

Report, review and archive

Record the response and keep an evidence trail for review.

Automated inspection

Automated inspectionKeep tasks moving

Illustration of an open-pit field inspection

Equipment stays on site while tasks continue.Routine inspections, ad hoc checks and transmitted results support daily safety work.

Plan the task and define its scope

Plan the task and define its scope

Define the inspection scope and deliverables for slopes, roads and facilities.

Check conditions before execution

Check conditions before execution

Authorized staff confirm weather, airspace, network and equipment status before work.

Transmit results for comparison

Transmit results for comparison

Archive imagery, location and task records together for historical comparison.

Actual operations depend on weather, equipment, airspace authorization and site conditions.

Field applications

Across safety tasksKeep field evidence traceable

Build a reviewable record around field safety tasks.Organize information by site area and task scope for people to view, compare and review.

Illustration of a site team collaborating
  1. 01

    Define the task

    Agree on safety tasks, inspection scope and deliverables.

  2. 02

    Confirm conditions

    Confirm equipment, network, permissions and access based on site conditions.

  3. 03

    Field validation

    Work with the field team to refine tasks and validate them in actual use.

  4. 04

    Train and hand over

    Train around real workflows and clarify roles, operation and feedback.

  5. 05

    Review and improve

    Review field feedback continuously and make agreed improvements.

Validate with the site team.Start with one inspection task, define the site, equipment, network and deliverables, then expand coverage step by step.

Evaluation criteria

Measure improvement against real tasks

Establish a baseline for the pilot

Compare changes across the same scope of work

Safer, more efficient, more sustainable.Establish a baseline around high-risk areas, remote review and response records, then evaluate changes against actual tasks.

Establish a baseline for the pilot, then compare changes across the same scope of work. Generic estimates do not replace actual mine results.

Safer

Reduce exposure to hazards

Record visits to high-risk areas

Compare equipment inspection coverage with field records.

More efficient

Reduce time to review

Compare detection, transmission and review times

Record the time taken to detect, transmit, review and respond.

More precise

Make collaboration traceable

Review task closure and record completeness

Review task closure, record completeness and the ability to retrieve historical records.

Evaluation depends on the actual scope and site conditions; it is not a guaranteed return.
