Guardian

An AI-powered in-cabin operator monitoring system that uses computer vision to detect fatigue (microsleeps) and distraction in real-time. The Guardian Generation 3 features refined microsleep detection, eye-gaze tracking, and a compact device for easier installation in mining equipment cab configurations.

A key differentiator is the Guardian Centre — a 24/7 human monitoring service that intervenes when fatigue or distraction events are detected. This remote monitoring layer has been shown to reduce an additional 40% of fatigue events beyond in-cabin alerts alone, achieving 90%+ total reduction. Guardian Live provides fleet managers with secure web access to data and video of events, enabling post-event review and systemic pattern analysis.

In mining, Guardian is deployed primarily via Caterpillar integration (Caterpillar DSS) for haul trucks and through regional distributors including HORUX Latam for the Chilean mining market (1,300 units ordered in 2025). The camera-based approach offers installation flexibility across a wide range of vehicle types and cab configurations, though its performance in dusty or poorly-lit underground environments differs from glasses-based systems like Optalert.
