A Perth-based technology start-up has taken out a national innovation award for an artificial intelligence tool designed to improve safety monitoring on Western Australian mine sites.
How the Technology Works
The system uses computer vision and sensor data to detect hazards in real time, alerting site supervisors to potential risks before incidents occur. Developers say the tool has already been trialled at several WA mining operations.
Industry Recognition
Judges praised the platform for combining practical safety outcomes with strong data privacy safeguards, a growing concern as more mining companies adopt AI-driven monitoring tools.
What’s Next
- The company plans to expand trials to additional WA mine sites
- Interest has also come from interstate mining operators
- Founders say the award will help secure further investment
The win adds to a growing list of WA-based tech start-ups gaining national recognition in the resources technology space.
