Blind spots in heavy machinery pose serious risks, leading to tragic accidents. Stoneridge partnered with Savantic to develop intelligent camera-based systems powered by AI and computer vision. By detecting hazards in real-time, this groundbreaking technology is transforming industrial safety—saving lives and setting a new benchmark for visibility in heavy machinery.

Challenge

Eliminating Blind Spots, Preventing Tragedies

Heavy machinery such as trucks, bulldozers, or excavators often suffers from limited visibility, particularly in blind spots. These unseen areas are dangerous, leading to tragic accidents involving cyclists, pedestrians, or workers on industrial sites. Traditional mirrors and manual checks fall short. Stonebridge, an American industry leader, knew that a groundbreaking, technology-driven solution was essential to improve safety.

Solution

Intelligent Camera Systems for a Safer Future

Stonebridge partnered with Savantic to develop intelligent camera-based systems that redefined visibility for heavy machinery operators. Combining machine learning and computer vision, the solutions detect and classify objects and provide real-time alerts to prevent accidents. Savantic’s expertise was instrumental in shaping the project’s success:

  • Computer vision and advanced algorithms for object detection and behavior prediction.
  • System validation to ensure reliable performance in demanding environments.

Result

Life-Saving Technology, Ready for the Market

The products—now commercially available—are already improving safety across industries. By minimizing blind spots and enabling real-time decision-making, these innovations prevent accidents and save lives. Early evidence highlights their transformative impact on workplace and road safety. Savantic’s expertise was key to delivering this solution, positioning Stonebridge as a leader in heavy machinery safety.

“Ultimately this project is about protecting lives. By thinking boldly, Stonebridge didn’t just solve a problem; they paved the way for safer, smarter operations.”
