At the forefront of urban development and mine site operations, wheel loaders serve as critical equipment for material handling. Yet heavy equipment blind spots (caused by bucket obstruction), severe dust, complex environments, and operator fatigue pose significant safety risks. These challenges demand intelligent construction equipment monitoring solutions.
STONKAM’s loader camera-based heavy equipment monitoring system integrates "smart perception + proactive prevention" technologies. By combining core features like blind spot detection and a 360 around view system, we deliver full operational awareness—creating safer, smarter worksites.
1. AI-Powered Camera Switching + 360 Around View System: Eliminating Heavy Equipment Blind Spots
Raised loader buckets create dangerous blind spots, impairing operator judgment. STONKAM’s 4-Channel 360 around view system uses dual loader cameras (upper/lower) at the bucket. AI detects working conditions and personnel, auto-adjusting views:
● Lower Camera Activation: Eliminates hidden hazards when personnel are beneath the bucket.
● Upper Camera Default: Provides wide perspectives without obstacles.
This loader camera system integrates layered AI alerts and links to vehicle controls for automated slowdowns, reducing collision risks at the source.
● All-Weather Detection: Radar + 360 Around View System
In dust, rain, or fog—where visibility drops—STONKAM’s millimeter-wave radar ensures 24/7 obstacle detection. It detects moving/stationary objects, supplements the 360 around view system, and secures construction equipment monitoring in low-visibility scenarios.
2. AI BSD & DMS: Smart Safety Framework for Heavy Equipment Blind Spots
In busy worksites where wheel loaders operate close to personnel and other equipment, front and side blind zones pose a serious hazard. Simultaneously, long hours behind the wheel increase risks of distraction and fatigue. STONKAM’s AI-based blind spot detection (BSD) and Driver Monitoring System (DMS) work in tandem to build a comprehensive safety net:
● Blind Spot Detection: Actively monitors the front and side of the vehicle, recognizing approaching people or objects and triggering alerts to prevent accidents.
● DMS Monitoring: Uses AI to detect fatigue, phone use, and inattention. It delivers real-time voice warnings and uploads event footage to the cloud for oversight and safety analysis.
Conclusion
This heavy equipment monitoring system forms a closed safety loop: perception → analysis → intervention.
