The client is a mining truck operation company in Peru engaged in ore mining and transportation. Their vehicles operate long-term in open-pit areas with heavy dust, poor visibility, and mixed pedestrian–vehicle traffic. These conditions, combined with multiple blind spots and high safety risks, make traditional monitoring insufficient. 

To improve safety and operational efficiency, the client adopted STONKAM’s 360 around view monitor system​ and Onboard Millimeter-Wave Radar Solution, achieving vehicle-surround visualization and active obstacle warnings.

Key Customer Pain Points

● Vehicle Blind Spots Posing High Safety Risks: Due to their massive size and limited visibility, large mining trucks have wide blind spots, making turns, reversing, and loading/unloading risky and prone to collisions or personnel accidents.
● Harsh Environment and Low Visibility Hampering Monitoring: In dust, rain, fog, or low light, traditional monitoring systems produce unstable images, leaving drivers with unclear views and making environmental assessment difficult.
● Complex Operational Scenarios Impacting Efficiency:Open-pit mining involves varied tasks where personnel may approach large vehicles, and trucks must navigate slopes, curves, and intersections. These dynamic conditions make it hard for drivers to judge surroundings in time, affecting workflow and safety.

Solution

Addressing challenges such as blind spots, safety risks, poor low-visibility monitoring, and mixed pedestrian-vehicle traffic, STONKAM offered an integrated 360 Around View Monitor System & Millimeter-Wave Radar solution with enhanced mining truck collision avoidance​ capability.

● 360 Around View Monitor System:

Four cameras deliver a seamlessly stitched surround view, allowing drivers to clearly see their environment during turning, reversing, and loading/unloading, greatly reducing collision risks.

● Backup Parking Sensor:

Provides stable detection of vehicles, personnel, and obstacles even in low-visibility conditions, issuing real-time audio-visual collision warnings to enhance situational awareness and operational safety.

By integrating panoramic imaging with millimeter-wave radar, the solution delivers all-weather, blind-spot-free monitoring, ensuring reliable protection for intensive mining truck operations.

Project Outcomes

● Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Reduces misjudgments and unexpected stops in complex scenarios, minimizing interruptions from delayed reactions or poor visibility. This keeps hauling more continuous and the workflow smoother and more stable.
● Significantly Improved Safety: The system proactively identifies and warns of potential hazards, greatly reducing collisions and improving safety for both vehicles and personnel.
● Reduced Management & Maintenance Costs: Lower repair needs, fewer production stoppages, and reduced management efforts bring clear economic benefits to the enterprise.

Client Testimonial

“STONKAM’s heavy duty truck camera and backup parking sensor solution with mining truck collision avoidance​ has greatly enhanced our vehicle safety. It remains stable and reliable even in heavy dust and nighttime conditions, significantly boosting our mining site efficiency.”

FAQ

1. Are the heavy duty reverse cameras and radar affected by dust and vibration?

No. STONKAM products use industrial-grade design. The cameras feature IP69K waterproofing and shock-resistant build, while the millimeter-wave radar offers strong anti-interference, ensuring stable performance in dust, rain, fog, and high-vibration environments.

2. Is the 360° system calibration complex?  How long does it take?

Calibration is simple and takes only one minute. It can be done via touchscreen or remote control and requires just four square calibration mats—far easier than traditional panoramic calibration.

3. How good is the 360° stitching quality?

STONKAM’s technology corrects distortion across four 1080p HD feeds, seamlessly stitches them, and generates a real-time 3D scene, delivering a highly realistic driving view.

4. What is the radar’s detection range and accuracy?

The onboard millimeter-wave radar detects up to 40 meters with high accuracy, enabling precise obstacle identification.

5. Is the 360° around view monitor system compatible with the radar?

Yes. It integrates with the radar to overlay real-time video and audio alerts, actively warning drivers of nearby obstacles and hazards.
