A leading organization in the earth resources and mining sector sought to elevate operational efficiency and security by deploying AI-driven video analytics solutions. The initiative aimed to automate monitoring, enforce compliance, and harness data-driven insights across critical zones—from canteen access to crusher area supervision—to streamline operations and enhance overall performance.
A prominent organization in the earth resources and mining sector is responsible for overseeing complex operational environments. With diverse facilities requiring round-the-clock monitoring, innovative solutions were needed to manage access, track vehicle movements, and ensure personnel safety.
The initiative focused on deploying video AI solutions tailored to specific operational challenges. The goal was to reduce manual oversight, enhance security, and streamline processes by leveraging automated insights across various use cases.
The client faced multiple monitoring challenges, including unauthorized access to sensitive areas, inefficient tracking of vehicle movements, and inadequate oversight of personnel in critical operational zones. These issues impacted safety compliance, operational efficiency, and overall site security
Canteen Accessibility: Monitoring and logging personnel accessing the canteen outside permitted hours. Weigh Scale Truck Movements: Tracking truck movements based on license plates during each shift. Fuel Station Operations: Recording truck entry, refueling duration, and exit times accurately. Generator Room Security: Controlling access to the generator room and identifying unauthorized entries. Crusher Area Supervision: Ensuring continuous operator presence during shift hours to maintain safety and productivity.Katomaran’s AI-powered video analytics solution was designed to address each operational challenge with specialized use cases:
Canteen Accessibility Monitoring:
Utilizing high-definition cameras with real-time face recognition, the system automatically logs personnel entering the canteen. It cross-references captured timestamps with scheduled work hours to identify entries outside permitted periods. Weigh Scale Truck Monitoring:
Incorporating Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technologies, the solution captures and decodes license plate data. Advanced motion tracking algorithms generate detailed reports on truck movements per shift. Fuel Station Access Tracking:
Employing continuous video stream processing with ANPR, the system records truck entry and exit times, accurately timestamping events and generating comprehensive usage reports that include refueling durations. Generator Room Access Control:
The solution uses facial recognition and real-time intrusion detection models to monitor access at the generator room entrance, issuing automated alerts when unauthorized entries are detected. Crusher Area Operator Availability:
Leveraging continuous activity recognition and presence detection powered by deep learning models, the system tracks operator presence to ensure adherence to scheduled shifts, triggering notifications when gaps are identified.
Camera Systems:
High-resolution cameras, including ANPR-enabled units for vehicle tracking and face recognition cameras for personnel identification, equipped with IR and HD capabilities. Networking & Storage:
Robust network infrastructure featuring Gigabit routers, access points, and PoE switches, complemented by high-speed connectivity and a scalable NVR system for secure video storage. AI Software:
Custom-developed AI algorithms for face recognition, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), safety gear detection, heavy machinery tracking, intrusion detection, and progress monitoring. Processing Infrastructure:
Advanced rack servers powered by high-performance multi-core CPUs and GPUs (e.g., NVIDIA Tesla series), with ample memory and storage capacities to support real-time processing and analytics.Katomaran evaluated EKAA HRIM’s operational needs and challenges, developing a detailed implementation plan with defined timelines and strategies tailored for each use case.
