6 July 2015
Seeing Machines (AIM: SEE), the AIM-listed company with a focus on operator monitoring and intervention sensing technologies and services, is proud to announce that Caterpillar Safety Services (CSS) has ordered DSS units in preparation for delivery of Fatigue Risk Assessments for Caterpillar customers.
The objective of Caterpillar Safety Services' Assessment Program is to help mining, quarry and construction customers develop a clear understanding of fatigue related risks within their operations.
Seeing Machines' DSS, is one of the technology components used by CSS experts to help measure operator fatigue and distraction and to implement immediate improvements along with long-term performance safety plans. The Assessments include an intensive DSS data collection and analysis phase designed to empower leaders with the knowledge and awareness necessary to understand the sources of fatigue and distraction risks and how they can be best mitigated.
"The DSS is an important component of our solution, " said Tim Crane, Manager of Caterpillar Safety Services. "It's ability to alert drivers in real-time is critical. From a long-term perspective it provides the facts and data needed to drive improvements to management systems, processes and training."
Ken Kroeger, CEO of Seeing Machines said: "Theses assessments will gradually replace Seeing Machines' very successful DSS trial program while broadening the technology's geographical footprint and expanding the offering from only the mining sector into the other Caterpillar fields of operation. We are working collaboratively with Caterpillar' Safety Services to ensure that they have all the skills that they need to make this program a success. "
