After a successful seven-month operational trial on a Caterpillar dump truck, a major mining customer in Türkiye has confirmed the procurement of 14 additional Brigade Electronics AI 360 systems for deployment across its mining fleet during 2026.
The expansion follows strong performance results achieved during testing, where Brigade’s AI-powered safety technology demonstrated significant improvements in driver visibility, collision awareness, and operational safety in demanding mining environments.
The customer’s fleet includes both Caterpillar 785C and Hitachi EH4000AC dump trucks, with long-term plans to continue retrofitting Brigade AI 360 systems across the wider fleet at a projected rate of 13–20 systems annually.
Installation and commissioning of the new systems will be carried out by the ADC Design and Engineering team in Türkiye, leveraging the company’s extensive expertise in heavy vehicle safety systems, industrial integration, and mining applications.
“The successful seven-month trial demonstrated the real operational value of AI-powered safety systems in demanding mining environments. Following the positive results, we are proud to support the customer’s decision to expand the deployment across additional Caterpillar and Hitachi dump trucks. This project represents another important step in improving safety standards within Türkiye’s mining sector” said Alper Dinlenc, Senior Electronics Engineer founder and CEO of ADC.
The first installations on two different dump truck platforms showcased during the 12th International Mining Fair in Istanbul, took place in April.
The exhibition provided mining operators, fleet managers and industry stakeholders with the opportunity to see Brigade’s AI 360 technology operating on both Caterpillar and Hitachi haul trucks in real-world mining configurations.
The project was delivered in collaboration with E-MERT, a well-established company operating across Türkiye’s mining sector. Acting as ADC’s strategic ally and dealer partner for mining applications, E-MERT plays an important role in supporting customer engagement, field operations and sector-specific implementation.
Together, ADC and E-MERT are helping mining companies adopt advanced safety technologies designed to reduce risk, improve operational awareness and support safer working environments across large-scale mining operations.
“Mining operations require reliable, field-proven technologies that can perform under extremely challenging conditions. Together with ADC and Brigade, we are helping mining companies in Türkiye adopt advanced safety solutions that improve driver awareness, reduce risk and support safer working environments across their fleets,” said Mr.Emrah MERTYUREK, E-MERT Founder and CEO.
Mining environments present unique visibility and safety challenges due to the size of haul trucks, restricted sightlines, harsh weather conditions, dust, low-light operations and constant vehicle and pedestrian movement.
Brigade’s AI 360 system combines advanced camera technology with artificial intelligence-powered object detection to provide drivers with a comprehensive around-vehicle view and intelligent alerts for pedestrians and obstacles in blind spots. By helping operators identify hazards earlier and respond more effectively, Brigade AI 360 supports safer and more efficient mining operations.
