Enhancing Autonomous Operations
Flasheye is proud to announce that it has secured a landmark order from
Granitor Systems for their deliveries to one of the world's largest underground
mining operations, marking a significant step forward in the industrial
application of advanced 3D perception technology. This project will see one
section of the mine transition to further improve autonomous operations, a move
that promises to enhance efficiency, safety, and operational intelligence
within that section.
The implementation of Flasheye's cutting-edge perception software will
automate critical aspects of the mine's operations. By leveraging sophisticated
3D monitoring, the system will continuously measure volumes, detect anomalies,
and identify deviations in real-time, enabling proactive responses to potential
issues. This not only reduces the need for manual, repetitive tasks but also
relieves the human workforce from dangerous and monotonous activities, allowing
them to focus on higher-value responsibilities. The result is a more
intelligent, responsive, and efficient site that optimizes resource use while
significantly enhancing safety.
Automation of operations through our 3D perception technology will
empower the mining site to operate with a level of precision and autonomy
previously unattainable. The system’s ability to analyze complex data and
provide actionable insights will lead to reduced downtime, lower operational
costs, and a substantial decrease in the risk of human error, positioning the
site at the forefront of modern mining technology.
Making 3D Perception Accessible for Broader
Industrial Applications
While LiDAR technology has predominantly been associated with
self-driving cars and robots, Flasheye is pioneering its use in stationary 3D
monitoring to transform infrastructure into intelligent, autonomous systems.
Researchers have long recognized the potential of 3D sensing technology to
solve various automation and safety challenges across industries. However, they
also point to the hurdles of complexity, customization, and high costs that
have limited widespread adoption.
Flasheye's mission is to bridge the gap between cutting-edge 3D sensing
technology and practical, real-world applications. Our intuitive 3D software
delivers a human-like perception of the world, capturing every movement and
deviation in real-time. By continuously collecting and analyzing data, our
software drives long-term optimization of systems and operations. Flasheye’s
solution, with spatial perception and human-like understanding at its core, is
essential for making operations safer and more autonomous across various
sectors.
Achieving Near-Zero Accidents with Enhanced Autonomy and Automation
Flasheye’s perception technology harnesses reliable, spatially precise
3D data to automatically control machinery and provide alerts in potentially
dangerous situations. Our resilient monitoring systems eliminate the need for
human presence in hazardous environments, allowing operators to oversee
operations remotely with more accurate and comprehensive information. This
advancement enables our clients to actively pursue automation and autonomy — while
achieving their safety, security, and sustainability objectives. In situations
where human intervention is necessary, our system offers automated situational
awareness, such as stopping machinery to ensure operator safety. The level of
automation and robotization transforming the automotive and manufacturing sectors
is now poised to revolutionize also the mining industry.
