CAM-380
A loaded truck leaves by a way that isn’t a way out
Early afternoon at the stockpile yard. One white truck is on the truck scale and another waits its turn. On the right, a red truck loaded with concentrate is heading down a dirt track that starts beside the no-exit sign and skirts the fence downhill. It’s still raising dust. Nobody has logged that trip. IRIS sees a loaded truck crossing a line that nothing is supposed to cross.

What this camera measures
An alert says something’s happening. The reading says how much.
- 13:26Time of the exit
- 2Exits by that track today
- 14Trucks weighed this shift
- 2Trucks waiting at the truck scale
- 40 sTime since it passed the sign
The figures on this screen are an example from the illustration, not any client’s measurement.
The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
a loaded vehicle leaves the stockpile by the unauthorized track
Then
- alert the truck scale office with the camera, the time and the direction of travel
- save the video from the truck being loaded to the moment it passes the sign
- log the movement in the shift exit report with its time
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if a loaded truck leaves the stockpile by the lower track instead of going over the truck scale.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
Five weeks later, in the mine manager’s office, the weight dispatched doesn’t match the weight received. Concentrate is the most expensive thing that leaves a mine, and the gap always turns up like this: late and in a spreadsheet. By then there’s no footage left to look at. With the camera, that same manager gets the alert while the truck is still on the haul road: time, plate if it can be read, video of the truck leaving and of the stockpile it came from. The gap stops being a number and becomes a specific minute.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS accuse anyone of stealing?
No. IRIS does not identify anyone and does not recognize faces. What it sees is a situation: a loaded vehicle has left the stockpile by a route the mine has marked as not authorized. That may be theft, it may be a new driver taking a wrong turn, or it may be a detour agreed over the radio that nobody wrote down. Who was inside and what happened is decided by a person with the video in front of them.
Does the camera know how much material was taken?
No, and that’s worth saying plainly. A camera counts trucks, times exits and sees whether a body is loaded or empty. Tonnage comes from the truck scale, and the grade of the ore comes from the laboratory. What the image adds is the trip that never crossed the truck scale: the time, the track it took and the stockpile it left from. With that, a weight discrepancy finally has a picture beside it.
Can IRIS lower the barrier or stop the truck?
No. IRIS doesn’t act: it alerts. It sends the alert to whoever the mine has named, the truck scale office, the operations manager, the gatehouse, with the camera, the time and the video. Lowering a barrier, calling on the radio or opening a report is a person’s decision. The rules are written by the mine too: which tracks are exits and which aren’t, and from what hour, is set by the operation, not by the system.

Next step
Who sees the child who’s fallen at the far end of the schoolyard?
14 cases: 13 raise an alert when something happens and one only measures. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
Who is watching a site where there’s almost never anybody?
44 cases, and in every one of them IRIS raises an alert when something happens. You see each image as it is, and then with what it understands on top.
And the best part
What happens in the small hoursdoesn’t have to wait for the morning report.
IRIS understands it there and then and tells whoever is on call, with the camera and the time. The next day there is nothing to reconstruct: it’s already written down.
Tell us your problem and we’ll say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
A person answers, the same working day.
