Situação e Solução |
To deal with health & safety issues related to fatigue and overexertion, Newcrest Mining provides field workers with smart baseball caps, known as SmartCaps, that monitor their brainwaves and measure fatigue. The technology has been rolled out primarily with truck drivers and machinery operators, who are at risk from fatigue-related injuries. The SmartCap uses an electroencephalogram (EEG) and proprietary algorithms to calculate a risk assessment number, which corresponds to a worker’s ability to resist falling asleep. The smart wear provides an early warning when a driver is approaching microsleep. The hats are also used by Anglo American and Rio Tinto.
