What changes when it is mining & metals

Orqent Labs builds video analytics tuned to an alert volume your team will actually keep responding to.

In mining & metals, the environment is hostile to hardware and safety compliance is non-negotiable. That single fact reshapes how video analytics has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is PPE and safety compliance monitoring, usually integrated against ERP. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.

Built by engineers who ship production systems, not by a practice that subcontracts the build. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Video Analytics workloads in mining & metals

  • PPE and safety compliance monitoring
  • haul fleet optimisation
  • equipment failure prediction
  • ore grade estimation
  • environmental compliance reporting

What is included

  • Integration with your existing camera and VMS estate
  • Edge processing so video stays on site
  • Alert tuning to keep false positives usable
  • Per-camera accuracy reporting
  • Privacy controls including masking and retention limits
  • Dashboards and alert routing to the right team

Questions from this sector

Will cameras survive site conditions?

With appropriate industrial housings, yes. Hardware selection matters more than model selection in mining deployments.

Can it improve safety compliance?

PPE and exclusion-zone monitoring provide consistent, documented observation that manual supervision cannot match across a full shift.

Do we need new cameras?

Usually not. Most existing estates are adequate; we assess resolution and placement first and only recommend changes where the physics genuinely requires it.

How do you keep false alarms down?

Zone and schedule tuning, per-camera thresholds and a feedback loop from operator dismissals. We tune to an alert rate your team will sustain.

Is the footage sent to the cloud?

Not unless you want it to be. Edge processing keeps video on site and sends only events and metadata onward.

Video Analytics for mining & metals, worth a conversation?

Tell us the workload and the regulation it sits under. We will tell you what is realistic.
