When a Buzzer Isn't Enough: How IZWI Gives Your Safety Systems a Voice
Safety equipment on earth-moving machinery is typically installed to give operators warnings for various events - but those warnings are mostly audible buzzers. And buzzers all sound the same. If an operator can't distinguish one alert from another, the warning fails at the one job it has: telling them exactly what's wrong, right now. That's the problem NAE's IZWI EPS Link was built to solve - by giving your safety systems an actual voice. The IZWI unit connects to both the G

The Simplest Safety Rule Is Still the Hardest to Enforce - Here's How NAE Solves It
Of all the safety measures on a mine site, wearing a seatbelt is one of the simplest — yet it can be one of the hardest rules to consistently enforce across a large operation. Different vehicles, multiple shifts, changing operators and personnel transport all make manual monitoring difficult. NAE’s integrated safety solutions help close that gap by making seatbelt compliance visible, measurable and easier to manage. Seatbelt compliance can be monitored in three complementary

When Operators Can't See the Risk, FleetVue 360° Can
On a mine site, the biggest safety risk is often something an operator simply can't see: a pedestrian entering a blind spot, a light vehicle approaching from behind, or equipment moving just outside the driver's field of view. Even the most experienced operators have blind spots—and in mining, those blind spots can have serious consequences. NAE's FleetVue Heavy Equipment Camera 360° system is designed to eliminate those blind spots by giving operators a complete, real-time p

EPS1300: NAE's Flagship Engine Protection System, Explained
If there's one product that defines what NAE stands for, it's the EPS1300 Engine Protection System - our flagship product, and for good reason. Engine failure rarely happens without warning. The problem is that the warning signs - a small drop in oil pressure, a slight rise in coolant temperature - are often invisible to an operator until it's too late and a catastrophic failure has already occurred. The EPS1300 exists to catch those signs early, before they become expensive

Meet FleetVue: The AI That Watches Out for Your Drivers (and Your Bottom Line)
Distracted, fatigued, or non-compliant driving is one of the leading causes of incidents on mine sites and in heavy transport fleets. The problem is that traditional monitoring - a supervisor spot-checking now and then - simply can't be everywhere at once. FleetVue can. FleetVue is a highly integrated AI driving recorder that combines two powerful systems: DMS (Driver Monitoring System) and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System). Together, they don't just record what's happ

Why Tyre Pressure Matters More in Mining Than Most Teams Realise
When people think about tyre pressure, they usually think about fuel economy or extending tyre life. While both are important, in mining operations tyre pressure has a much bigger impact. It influences safety, equipment reliability, maintenance costs, and overall productivity. A tyre that is only slightly underinflated or overinflated can increase the risk of premature wear, mechanical damage, unplanned downtime, and even catastrophic failure. In an industry where every hour
