Frequently Asked Question
LoopX’s vision is to make mining operations safer, smarter, and more sustainable through Physical AI — combining sensors, edge computing, and intelligent algorithms to transform how equipment and people interact in challenging environments.
Traditional systems are limited to point solutions — focusing either on safety (e.g., collision avoidance) or efficiency (e.g., telematics) — because of restricted computing power. Physical AI, by contrast, enables mining equipment to perceive, think, react, and continuously learn in real time.
Keeping safety and productivity separate creates gaps, duplication, and higher costs. Safety-only systems can stop accidents but don’t improve output, while productivity-only systems track efficiency but ignore risks. By combining both in a single platform, LoopX ensures that every decision balances worker protection with operational performance. This not only reduces downtime and false stops, but also gives mines a holistic, real-time picture of how safely and efficiently their fleets are operating — a critical step toward autonomous, connected mining.
Unlike tag-only or camera-only systems, LoopX CAS uses multi-sensor fusion (Vision AI, LiDAR, and RF) to deliver redundant, human-like perception. It provides true 360° coverage, reliably detecting both people and objects in line-of-sight (LoS) and non-line-of-sight (NLoS) conditions, while significantly reducing false alarms and improving operator trust.
LoopX is more than a safety system — it is the foundation for autonomy. By delivering EMESRT Level 9 readiness (proactive warning and intervention) and generating rich, real-time data on vehicle behavior, load status, and the operating environment, LoopX creates the intelligence layer that future semi-autonomous and autonomous fleets rely on.
Yes. LoopX is built as an open, integration-ready platform, with APIs and interoperability standards that allow seamless connection to fleet management, safety dashboards, and productivity analytics systems. This ensures operators get more value from existing investments without duplication.
Mines typically see immediate improvements. Near-miss incidents drop right away, and operators gain clear visibility into load volumes, cycle times, and equipment interactions within days of deployment.
LoopX systems are compact and modular, allowing installation in about one day per vehicle. To reduce downtime, installations are scheduled around existing maintenance windows and require minimal modifications to equipment.
No. LoopX solutions are built for offline-first reliability. All critical safety and productivity functions run directly on the onboard edge computer, with no dependency on underground networks. When connectivity is available, optional cloud dashboards provide remote monitoring and reporting.
LoopX provides hands-on training for operators and maintenance teams, along with clear documentation and remote diagnostics tools. We also deliver ongoing updates, monitoring, and technical support to ensure systems continue running safely and effectively over time.
Deeper and electric mines bring new visibility and safety challenges. LoopX integrates thermal imaging, LiDAR, and advanced AI to detect risks where traditional systems fail, ensuring safety keeps pace with the evolution of mining.
LoopX’s platform is modular and hardware-agnostic, meaning the same technology can be deployed across underground and surface fleets. Centralized dashboards allow operators to scale from a few vehicles to full fleets with consistent results.
Yes. Data, including camera feeds and collision alerts, can be transmitted through the edge computer’s local Wi-Fi network to assist remote operation and teleoperation systems. This enables improved visibility, enhanced situational awareness, and safer remote mucking activities.
Yes. While focused on mining today, LoopX’s Physical AI platform can be adapted for other heavy industries such as construction wherever safety and autonomy are critical.
LoopX is advancing its platform with the next-generation VLA (Vision–Language–Action) Physical AI model. This enables mining equipment to perceive, think, react, and learn like a human — turning raw sensor data into intelligent decisions and continuous improvement. Our roadmap is built around one clear goal: helping mines move toward a safer, smarter, and fully autonomous future.
