Pain points
The challenge
Sound familiar? These are the problems our customers bring to us every week.
Knowing who is underground - and where - is a legal safety requirement.
Conveyors, vehicles and rockfall zones are constant hazards.
Solution overview
How this solution works
Personnel tracking, restricted-area control and equipment monitoring in harsh underground and tunnel environments.
Every XCAN AI Box runs its algorithms on the edge, which means detection continues even when the network does not. Existing cameras are reused, alerts are verified with snapshots and clips, and all events land in one management console.
How it works
Deployment in four steps
From the cameras you already own to a fully monitored site - typically inside one week.
Track who is where
Face and zone recognition at tunnel entrances and each working face.
Control hazardous zones
Intrusion alarms near conveyors, blasting areas and unstable ground.
Verify PPE and behaviour
Helmet, lamp and vest checks plus leave-post supervision.
Run on a ruggedised edge
Industrial temperature range and vibration-tolerant mounting.
Algorithm library
AI algorithms used in this solution
Each algorithm can be enabled per channel, per schedule, with its own sensitivity and alarm rule.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can it work without GPS or reliable network underground?
Yes. Zone-based presence is derived from camera views, so no tags or GPS are required, and analysis runs locally on the edge box.
Is the hardware rugged enough?
The box is rated for industrial temperature ranges and is mounted in a protected cabinet; cameras are IP66/IP67 with anti-dust housings.
