Problem
Construction sites spanning several acres often rely on manual observation to ensure equipment safety, leading to delayed hazard detection, equipment downtime, and increased risk of injuries. Coordinating large fleets of rollers and earthmoving machines across multiple locations also makes real-time monitoring and job scheduling cumbersome.
Solution
Bluelight Machines offers a retrofit safety and productivity kit that equips compatible rollers (e.g., Cat CS54B, CS56B, CS11, CS12) with cameras and AI-driven perception software. The system continuously detects people, other machines, cones, and obstacles in all weather conditions, automatically stopping equipment to prevent collisions. Detected safety events are logged and transmitted to a cloud platform, where operators can view live video, monitor fleet status, and assign jobs from any phone, tablet, or desktop. The kits are compact enough to fit in a carry‑on, enabling quick installation on existing equipment without major downtime. Bluelight provides training and ongoing technical support through its direct team and Sitech dealers to ensure operators can adopt the technology immediately.
Target Audience
Primary customers are earthmoving contractors, large‑scale construction firms, and infrastructure developers managing multi‑acre projects such as subdivisions, schools, data centers, roadways, solar farms, and warehouses.
