Evidence-based fatigue management for mining and transport

What sets Optalert apart?

Many driver monitoring systems aim to reduce fatigue-related risk, but not all methods are equal. Optalert stands out because of what it measures, how early it detects fatigue, and how its data drives long-term improvement in safety outcomes.

Why leading mines choose Optalert

Optalert’s Eagle Eye Suite is the only fatigue management system that uses a clinically validated physiological biomarker,  the Johns Drowsiness Scale (JDS™),  a measure of impairment that Harvard Medical School has deemed “commensurate with gold standard laboratory measures” and validated by over 130 peer reviewed scientific publications. It is the only medically proven biomarker for drowsiness.

Real Results

Organisations that use Optalerts Eagle Suite report a

95%+ reduction
in fatigue related incidents

Following the implementation of Optalert’s Eagle Suite a major Brazilian iron ore mine reported a

5% productivity increase
(tons/hour)

The system is built for rugged, remote environments, runs on durable hardware with 99.99% cloud availability, and integrates seamlessly into existing fleet or safety systems.

Multi-tiered fatigue management: Real-time detection and instant alerts for drivers and operations teams.

Optalert has a proven impact in mining operations

  • Prevents incidents: Detects fatigue up to 30 minutes earlier than EEG or camera-based systems.
  • Reduces fatigue-related events: Proven 95%+ reduction in safety incidents across mining fleets.
  • Improves operational efficiency: Demonstrated 5% productivity increase (tons/hour) in heavy mining operations.
  • Integrates without disruption: Seamlessly connects to existing fleet, safety, and reporting systems.
  • Enables proactive management: Provides both individual-level alerts and fleet-wide analytics for data-driven decisions.

Experience clinically proven fatigue prevention

Unlike conventional wearable systems that only react to fatigue once it occurs, Optalert empowers proactive management, helping operations teams prevent fatigue-related risk before it impacts safety or performance.
