Construction’s New Standard: AI Proximity Detection That Saves Lives and Boosts Performance

The construction industry faces daily risks from machine-human interaction. Proxicam’s AI-powered proximity warning system offers a game-changing safety solution for excavators, dozers, and haul trucks. Learn how this smart system boosts jobsite safety, reduces downtime, and enhances compliance—all while protecting lives and lifting productivity.

When you're operating on a construction site filled with heavy equipment, moving vehicles, and human workers, safety isn't just a concern—it's a constant battle. As someone who's spent years watching the industry evolve, I’ve seen how new technology can be both disruptive and transformative. That’s why Proxicam caught my attention. It doesn’t just add another layer of safety—it redefines the entire conversation around proximity detection, real-time alerts, and human-machine interaction.

The beauty of Proxicam lies in its AI-powered system, engineered to protect lives while maximizing productivity. From crane anti-collision technology to pedestrian detection for dump trucks, it's designed to adapt to any environment—construction sites, quarries, ports, terminals, and infrastructure projects. In this article, I’ll show you how Proxicam enables smarter jobsite safety, eliminates costly blind spots, and aligns perfectly with goals like expanding into new markets, scaling product lines, and building strategic OEM relationships.

“Eliminate blind spots and elevate safety—from jobsite chaos to calculated protection,” according to John Buttery, CEO of Riodatos, and "Proxicam is the AI powerhouse making that vision a reality."

Author's Perspective

I’ve seen firsthand how even a momentary lapse in machine awareness can lead to devastating consequences. It’s not enough to rely on rearview mirrors or high-vis gear anymore. Construction environments are far too dynamic, and the risks too high. That’s why I believe proximity detection should no longer be optional—it should be integral to every construction vehicle and jobsite strategy.

What impresses me about Proxicam is how it turns safety into a business asset. With detection accuracy over 99%, ruggedized hardware for off-highway vehicles, and smart zone control to reduce false alarms, it blends seamlessly into site operations. Whether you're building a global alliance, launching a new safety product, or entering new infrastructure markets, Proxicam doesn’t just support your vision—it protects it.

1. Safety at the Edge of Innovation

AI-powered vision for high-risk environments

Proxicam’s camera isn’t just smart—it’s engineered to operate at the edge. With built-in processing power, it makes real-time decisions without relying on cloud latency. This matters when you’re dealing with moving excavators, wheel loaders, or dump trucks in unpredictable environments. With a 170º ultra-wide lens, it offers better-than-human vision, eliminating blind spots and delivering high-precision alerts when pedestrians enter danger zones.

2. From Near-Miss to Near-Zero Incidents

Collision avoidance that thinks ahead

Proxicam transforms jobsite safety from reactive to proactive. Whether mounted on a telescopic handler or a massive haul truck, its advanced zone detection minimizes human-machine conflict. By issuing staged audio-visual alerts and dynamically muting zones based on direction of travel (FWD | REV detection), it creates intelligent exclusion areas—customized to each machine’s profile and application.

3. Rugged, Ready, and Built to Scale

Durability meets deployability

Rain, dust, vibration—construction and quarry sites are unforgiving. Proxicam is housed in IP69K-rated aluminum, purpose-built for these harsh environments. With plug-and-play modules and a mobile calibration app, it’s easy to roll out across entire fleets. And thanks to scalable architecture, you can adapt systems from a single backhoe to a port-wide deployment without skipping a beat.

4. Visibility That Drives Accountability

Smart data turns safety into strategy

At the heart of Proxicam is data. With DV-Hub and FleetHQ, you gain access to HD video of proximity events, heatmaps of incident zones, and real-time event logging. That’s not just helpful for safety audits—it’s gold for continuous improvement, training, and risk mitigation. This tech aligns with every leadership team’s mandate to scale smarter, safer, and leaner operations.

5. Compliance Isn’t Optional—It’s a Competitive Advantage

Meet standards, exceed expectations

Proxicam helps construction firms and contractors meet and exceed global safety standards. Whether working on infrastructure megaprojects or local builds, integrating proximity detection into your fleet sends a powerful signal—to regulators, partners, and your workforce—that you take safety seriously. It's also a magnet for OEM partnerships, expanding dealer networks, and unlocking access to premium contracts.

6. Smarter Systems, Safer Sites

One step closer to zero-harm operations

From crane anti-collision technology to dozer blind spot monitoring, Proxicam covers the full spectrum of construction vehicle safety needs. The system ensures that your infrastructure projects are supported by intelligent hazard detection and real-time feedback loops. With customizable zones and tamper-proof alerts, the system respects both the operator’s job and the pedestrian’s right to return home safe.
