SafeAI retrofits heavy equipment for autonomous applications in the mining and construction industries. Its autonomous technology enables equipment owners to transform existing machines into self-operating robotic assets. SafeAI's systems are open and interoperable, designed to work with any software system, while enabling autonomous workflows.

SafeAI is at the forefront of a movement to transition construction and mining operations to connected and autonomous worksites across the globe.

SafeAI’s open and interoperable solution is giving mining and construction equipment owners access to vehicle-agnostic autonomy that previously didn't exist. The significant value of this is demonstrated through gains in increased worksite productivity, safety and cost savings.

Our Autonomous Kit uses advanced sensor hardware — including LiDAR, radar, and cameras — that are retrofitted to each vehicle. Data inputs from the sensors feed a high-processing, on-board computer platform that makes AI-directed decisions to control the vehicle’s operation.

Safety components include external mode lights to display vehicle status as well as vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems that allow autonomous vehicles to be aware of other vehicles — both autonomous and manned — in their surroundings.

Vehicles communicate wirelessly over a secure network with the Autonomous Management System (AMS) control center, allowing them to pass and receive information during operations and to collect and record critical data while the vehicle is running, creating a more efficient and connected worksite.

Increasing demand for safer, zero-entry worksites, higher productivity, and lower labor costs are all driving the need for faster access to autonomous technology. SafeAI’s retrofitted, AI-powered autonomous solution is making huge strides in helping to solve these industry challenges and is currently being deployed today at mining and construction sites across the globe.

SafeAI technology highlights:

  • Open and interoperable solution that supports mixed fleets and seamlessly integrates with other systems and platforms.

  • Versatile retrofit technology providing accessibility to all tiers of construction and mining operations.

  • Data processing at the vehicle level with less reliance on cloud systems, resulting in a lighter network.

  • AI-driven decisions through a high-processing on-board computer system.

  • Robust environment understanding by fusing multi-modal sensors such as LiDAR, camera, and radar.

  • Leverages on-board map-based localization combined with GNSS for reliable positioning and continuous operation under all conditions.
