To reduce accidents and improve productivity and profitability of heavy equipment at construction sites, mines, quarries, and industrial plants, Israeli startup Ception has unveiled an AI-based system, MineCept.
According to the company, the system is set to lower operation costs and contribute to sustainability in these demanding work environments.
Equipment such as articulated trucks, haul trucks, loaders, bulldozers, and excavators, is involved in severe accidents on a daily basis. Accidents include collisions, overturning, falling into chasms, costing lives, and damaging property. Moreover, operations without advanced technological equipment are inefficient, incurring heavy and unnecessary costs and prolonging the time needed to complete projects.
MineCept
The system is based on a SaaS business model, which offers the customer a collection of apps via the same hardware kit and supports various scenarios in the field. The system uses advanced real-time high-definition 3D mapping and precise positioning technology, based on visual feed rather than GPS, to provide full situational awareness of the machine's surrounding environment by cross-referencing information from different sensors and image processing algorithms and deep learning.
MineCept's management system obtains a comprehensive, holistic picture of all the operational and safety parameters and summarizes the hazards (potholes, puddles, rocks, etc.) and events at the site for the manager in an accessible way. Above this level, the artificial intelligence tools provide insights and enable the forecasting of bottlenecks in the different processes and safety failure points before they occur (preventative safety).
Successful deployments
Ception's system is used by leading mining and construction companies in various projects and industrial sites in Israel and over the globe. In the mining industry, MineCept is used by ICL Group, one of the world's leading fertilizers producers, which operates heavy equipment at its phosphate mine in southern Israel. In the field of construction and infrastructure, MineCept was used by Netivei Israel, the national transport infrastructure company, as a part of a project aimed at improving the safety and efficiency of heavy equipment.
The company is in advanced negotiations to collaborate with one of Israel's top construction companies. As part of the agreement, the building company will invest in Ception and deploy its systems in the company's heavy equipment.
