Artificial intelligence for the mine site that proposes; a person decides.

Vision on loading equipment, short interval control, fleet, safety and training, on a single engine. Each solution with its real status in plain view.

How it looks today

Each piece of equipment with its own system. The shift finds out at the end.

Dispatch sees the shovels, the vendor sees the trucks, the cameras record and the spreadsheet gets filled in at the end. When a shovel runs out of trucks at ten, the report says so at eight in the evening.

  • The gap is discovered when it can no longer be recovered.
  • What was solved over the radio is recorded nowhere.

Vision on loading equipment.

In pilot

The equipment camera is already there. The vision model runs on site, classifies what is loaded in each bucket (ore, dilution, water-mud) and logs an event with its clip. The analyst confirms or corrects.

  • It uses the teleremote or equipment cameras: no new cameras are installed.
  • Video does not leave the site; the event goes up.
  • Each classification is kept with its evidence clip.

The recording shows the vision engine recognizing equipment and status. Ore classification runs on that same engine, in pilot.

Short interval control with VETA.

Demo with simulated data

VETA measures the shift gap against plan every five minutes, proposes the highest-impact action with an owner, and measures in the next interval whether it worked.

  • Tonnes, cycle and waits against plan, interval by interval.
  • The alert brings the likely cause, end-of-shift effect and a proposed action.
  • Planning stays with the site: VETA takes it as input.

03 · Assets · fleet

Fleet read via OBD2 and GPS.

Demo

Speed, idling, engine hours and position of every truck, with no brand required. What dispatch already records is cross-checked with what the equipment reports.

  • Long idling and ramp speed as an alert, not a spreadsheet.
  • Engine hours that feed condition-based maintenance.
  • Works with equipment from different brands.

Safety: who is where and what can be seen before the incident.

Demo· VigíaIn development· iGromi_Guard · CORFO

Vigía counts how many people are in each area with a radio tag, without cameras, and tells you who is missing in an evacuation. iGromi_Guard detects PPE, exclusion zones and person-to-equipment proximity, at the edge.

  • Vigía: headcount by area and evacuation, without seeing faces.
  • iGromi_Guard: the event belongs to the location, not the person; video does not leave the site.
  • Every alert reaches a person who decides what to do.

Training and inductions with LUMYA.

In pilot· LUMYA

The approved procedure goes in as a document and comes out as a course. The AI writes only from that document, and the evidence is not a signature on a sheet: it is the person showing they know how to do it.

  • Contractor inductions held to the same standard as your own staff.
  • When the procedure changes, the course is rebuilt from the new version.
  • A record of who learned what, and when.

  2. 02Course with video and questionsThe AI builds the course only from that document, without inventing steps.
  3. 03The person demonstratesAttendance is not enough: the worker shows they can carry out the process.

How a mine site connects

One engine per organization. One lightweight Edge per site.

Solutions are installed on the engine, as many as the business uses. If the link drops, the site keeps storing and resends when it returns.

Readings from the Edge to the engine

Where the engine lives

The mining company decides the architecture.

The same engine on the site Edge, on company servers or in the cloud. The AI does not connect to databases or PLCs; it proposes, and a person approves.

  1. Mine site. The Edge reads cameras, sensors, PLCs and GPS; vision runs here and video does not leave.
  2. Engine. Lives in: company servers.
  3. People. In the app: the AI proposes with its source and a person decides.

What leaves the site

Events and signals

Video is processed on site and does not leave.

If the link drops

The Edge stores

It syncs with the engine when the link returns.

Who runs it

Company IT

Under its policies, in its data center.

Best for: Several sites with their own data center.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I use GPS on mining trucks without switching vendors?
The fleet is read via OBD2 and the GPS the site already has, with no brand required: speed, idling, engine hours and position of every truck, cross-checked with what dispatch records. Today it is a demo with simulated data; a pilot starts with the site's real equipment.
What does iGromi do at a mine site?
It connects the site's equipment, cameras and systems to a single engine, and the solutions run on that engine: vision on loading equipment, short interval control (VETA), fleet via OBD2 and GPS, safety (Vigía and iGromi_Guard) and training (LUMYA). The AI proposes with the source and a person decides.
What is in production and what is not?
The vision engine has been in production in the food industry for more than two years. In mining, vision-based ore classification and LUMYA are in pilot; VETA, Vigía and fleet reading via OBD2 and GPS are demos with simulated data, and iGromi_Guard is in development with support from CORFO, Chile's economic development agency. Each solution shows its status up front.
What happens if the link to the site goes down?
The site Edge keeps reading and storing. When the link returns, it resends what it stored to the engine. What is urgent lives down below, in the PLC or the node; what needs judgment, in the engine.
Does video leave the site?
No. Video is processed on the site Edge and what goes up is the event, with its clip when it is needed as evidence.
Can the AI move equipment or write to the PLC?
No. The Edge is read-only and the AI does not connect directly to databases or PLCs. It proposes an action with its source, and a person approves or corrects it, with name and time.
Do I need one engine per site?
No. The engine is installed once per organization. Each site gets a lightweight Edge, and the solutions are installed on the engine: adding the next one does not mean reinstalling everything.
