LoopX: How AI, LiDAR & Collision Avoidance Are Transforming Mining Safety #393
AI is changing the way mining companies approach safety, shifting the focus from reacting to incidents toward identifying hazards before they become accidents. But how far can AI go in protecting workers and equipment across complex underground and surface mining environments?
In this Mining NOW episode, host Jerrod Downey speaks with Chao Yu, Founder & CEO of LoopX, Connor Hamstra, Head of Systems Deployment at LoopX, and Ryan Payne, Asset Executive at Cementation Americas. Together, they examine how AI-powered mining technology is being deployed to improve situational awareness and reduce safety risks in the field.
The conversation highlights LoopX’s suite of safety solutions, including its Collision Avoidance System, BoomGuard, AreaGuard, and LoadSight. By bringing together Vision AI, LiDAR, and RF technology, these systems can identify people, mobile equipment, and potentially dangerous movements in real time, giving operators and mine sites greater awareness of what is happening around them.
The episode also looks at what it takes to bring new safety technology into active mining operations. Topics include OEM-agnostic technology, equipment safety, technology onboarding, industry partnerships, and the practical challenges of integrating AI into existing workflows and fleets.
Watch the full episode to hear how LoopX and Cementation Americas are using AI, computer vision, LiDAR, and collision avoidance technology to make mining safety more proactive and address some of the industry's most challenging operational risks.
