Seeing Machines gets monitoring equipment contract from Freeport

Australian computer vision Technology Company Seeing Machines Limited announced on Monday it has been awarded a contract to supply DSS driver monitoring equipment to the Grasberg mine in Indonesia owned by PT Freeport Indonesia, a subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold.

Seeing Machines is a leading developer of advanced vision based industrial systems. The DSS is an active system that directly monitors the driver of a vehicle for distraction and fatigue events and provides a series of interventions aimed at managing these events and averting potential disasters.

DSS driver monitoring equipment will be installed in haul trucks operating at the mine, and is being considered for other logistics equipments that operate throughout the property. This initial DSS deployment is designed to address the practical and logistical issues of this remote site and to integrate the DSS within site operations ahead of wider deployments anticipated in the future.
