Sometimes excavator's bucket may have it's tooth lost during mining operations. When tooth get into rock-breaking equipment it may cause the equipment breakage. Almost always it leads to high-cost and time-consuming maintenance.

Task: to monitor the presence of all excavator teeth and send an alert in case of tooth loss.

Usually machine operator has to run the excavator and check presence of all excavator's bucket teeth on their own. This approach results in loss of efficiency as the operator has to do several tasks simultaneously. Moreover, the operator may suppress and ignore problems with teeth not to stop mining.

Our solution: we use computer vision methods to monitor the bucket teeth integrity in various visual and weather conditions on colored and infrared covered images. Web solution is deployed on edge with low bandwidth network in harsh environment right on excavator

Advantages

• work with any type of excavators
• work in any temperature conditions
• work in any visual conditions (night, snow, rain, camera pollution)
• processing difficult visual cases (tooth loss in sand, etc.)
