Ramco Cements — Ramco Cements — Radar-Based People Detection Sensor for Dumpers

The challenge

Ramco Cements faced significant safety challenges in their mining operations due to the lack of an effective system to detect and alert operators of people around heavy machinery. The absence of a reliable detection mechanism increased the risk of accidents, putting workers' lives in danger and potentially leading to costly operational disruptions. Ensuring worker safety while maintaining efficient mining operations was a critical concern that required an advanced, real-time solution capable of withstanding the harsh mining environment.

What we built

Kirshi designed and developed an advanced radar-based people detection sensor for Ramco Cements' mining dumpers, significantly enhancing safety measures in their mining operations. The sensor system uses radar technology to detect the presence of people around heavy machinery in real time, providing immediate alerts to operators about potential hazards. The robust and durable sensors are built to withstand the harsh conditions of mining environments, ensuring reliable performance. By integrating this radar-based detection system, Ramco Cements can greatly improve worker safety, reduce the risk of accidents, and ensure compliance with safety regulations, fostering a safer and more efficient working environment.

Outcome

The system went live on schedule and is in active use today. As with every Kirshi Technologies engagement, delivery was sprint-based with measurable milestones at each stage, and Ramco Cements retained full intellectual property ownership of all custom code from day one.
