In a China mining project, heavy machinery like excavators, cranes, and loaders operate in hazardous conditions with dust, noise, falling rocks, and blasting risks. Remote control ensures operator safety and continuous production. The STONKAM AI Wireless Camera System provides real-time video and AI alerts, making operations safer, more intuitive, and efficient.

Key Customer Pain Points

In high-risk mining environments, unmanned or remote operations face key challenges:

● Limited Visibility & Difficult Remote Operation: Dust, smoke, and large vehicle blind spots hinder operators’ real-time awareness of surroundings and equipment, reducing precision and efficiency.
● Safety Hazards:  Debris clearing, maintenance, or material transport may involve personnel or other equipment entering the work area, increasing collision and accident risks.
● Slow Equipment Troubleshooting:  Harsh conditions cause frequent equipment anomalies, and without direct visual monitoring, operators struggle to quickly locate and assess issues, delaying repairs and lowering efficiency.

Solution

The project used two types of remote control setups: one with wireless displays and one with central control displays. STONKAM provided tailored solutions for each:

Basic Wireless Remote Control: 360° cameras installed on the operator’s arm or vehicle transmit real-time video via a wireless camera system​ to the controller’s display. Operators can control equipment remotely while monitoring surroundings, avoiding misjudgments and ensuring safe, efficient work.
AI Intelligent Upgrade: For controllers without displays, STONKAM supplied an AI Wireless Display with cameras. Built-in AI algorithms detect personnel entering hazardous zones, trigger active alerts, and record alarm video for management and safety tracking.

By combining these solutions, the customer overcame limited field of view issues and achieved proactive safety protection, enhancing the reliability of remote machinery operation.

Project Outcomes

After deployment, the customer reported notable improvements in remote operation safety and efficiency:

● Higher Operational Efficiency: Remote control became more responsive and precise, enabling smoother operations in complex scenarios and significantly increasing overall work pace.
● Enhanced Safety: AI detection reliably identifies unauthorized personnel and issues early warnings, greatly reducing accident risks.
● Faster Fault Diagnosis: Real-time monitoring and recording help operators spot equipment abnormalities quickly, shortening troubleshooting and maintenance cycles.

The project manager noted: “STONKAM’s solution has greatly improved the safety and intuitiveness of remote equipment control. Operators no longer rely solely on instinct—AI alerts and live monitoring make operations safer and more efficient, especially on mining sites with multiple simultaneous machines, easing coordination and command.”
