Summary

Brazil’s leading mining company oversees a fleet of heavy trucks navigating steep slopes and rugged mine roads every day. Safety risks, collisions, and operational inefficiencies were constant challenges, leaving managers to react only after incidents occurred.

To change that, they introduced Jimi IoT’s JC450 AI dashcams across part of their fleet. The system alerts drivers in real time, streams live video to the operations office, and centralizes GPS and driving behavior data on a single platform, turning uncertainty into control and insight.

The results speak for themselves:

Collision rates dropped by 40%, saving thousands of reais in repairs and insurance claims
Fuel consumption fell by 10%, thanks to data-driven driver coaching
Centralized video and GPS data streamlined operations and decision-making
Downtime decreased, creating a safer, smarter, and more efficient fleet

With JC450, safety stopped being just a compliance requirement. It became a driver of efficiency, visibility, and confidence across the site.

It was just after sunrise when the memory of that day returned vividly to the site manager. He remembered the groan of metal and the crash of loaded trucks colliding on the muddy slope, the chaos that followed, and the shouts of workers rushing toward the scene: “Call for help! Watch out!”

“I was looking at my phone for a second,” one driver later confessed, voice low, the shame lingering like dust in the morning air. “I didn’t realize how fast I was approaching the loading area.”

The accident froze production for eight hours, leaving behind a trail of four damaged trucks and spilled ore. Inspecting the site offered few answers. The damage was visible, but the why remained elusive. Time and again, the team faced the same frustration: problems were only clear after it was too late.

As Brazil’s top in mining, this company runs a large fleet of heavy trucks carrying ore, and this incident marked just one thread in the daily challenges it faces. Heavy-duty trucks navigated steep slopes, muddy trails, and unstable mine roads. High-value ore and hazardous materials faced theft or loss. Without real-time monitoring and reliable video evidence, collisions, near-misses, and operational inefficiencies were inevitable. The mining company needed a solution capable of watching over every vehicle, anticipating risks, and guiding drivers toward safer, smarter operations.

The Solution: AI Dashcams Transform Oversight and Driving Habits

Recognizing the urgent need to improve safety and efficiency, the mining company began introducing Jimi IoT's JC450 multi-channel AI dashcams across part of their fleet. It wasn’t a blind rollout. They wanted to see how the technology performed in the real-world environment of steep slopes, heavy loads, and long shifts. From day one, the impact was tangible.

Drivers quickly noticed the difference. “The alerts really catch it the moment I I check my phone,” one truck driver said during a morning shift. “And the system nudges me when I’m following another truck too closely. It’s like having a second pair of eyes in the cab.” Meanwhile, live video feeds streamed directly to the operations office, and GPS positioning allowed managers to coordinate trucks across the sprawling site as if they were standing on every road at once.

As the team grew familiar with the system, new needs emerged naturally. “We’d like fatigue alerts to be more nuanced, and it would help if all this data—video, GPS, driving behavior—could show up in our own platform,” said the safety supervisor. Jimi IoT responded quickly, customizing alert thresholds and enabling smooth platform integration, turning initial curiosity into a tool the team could rely on every day.

By the end of the trial period, confidence had grown. “Honestly, these devices changed how we see safety and efficiency,” said the operations manager. “The alerts are timely, the video quality is clear, and we can track everything from our own platform. It gives us peace of mind we didn’t have before.” Another manager added, “It’s not just the devices. It’s how the system works for us in the real world. That’s what makes it valuable.”

The Results: Building a Safer, Smarter Fleet

The adoption of Jimi IoT’s JC450 system has reshaped how Brazil’s leading mining company manages its operations. What began as a safety initiative quickly delivered measurable results across the entire fleet. Collision rates fell by as much as 40%, saving thousands of reais per incident in repairs and compensation, while video evidence provided a clear record for insurers and cut down on lengthy disputes.

“We finally have visibility into what’s really happening on the road,” said the operations manager. “Instead of waiting until after an accident to piece things together, we can act in the moment. That alone has changed how safe the site feels for everyone.”

The improvements extended beyond accident prevention. By monitoring sudden braking, sharp acceleration and long idling, the system highlighted habits that were quietly draining fuel. Coaching drivers based on this data reduced consumption by 10%, a gain that translated directly into lower costs. “It’s a simple change,” explained the safety coordinator, “but when you multiply it across hundreds of trucks, the savings are enormous.”

Centralizing video and GPS data on a single platform has also streamlined control room operations. Supervisors who once relied on manual checks can now oversee dozens of trucks at once, increasing efficiency while reducing the need for constant field inspections. “With everything in one place, we can make faster, smarter decisions,” the fleet supervisor noted. “It keeps our people safer and our mine running more smoothly.”

Within just a few months, the impact was undeniable: fewer collisions, lower fuel use, reduced downtime, and leaner operations overall. For the mining company, the JC450 has become more than a monitoring tool. It is now the backbone of a safer, smarter, and more cost-effective way of working, one that lays the foundation for future innovation.

“Safety used to feel like a cost center. Now, with Jimi IoT, it has become a driver of efficiency and trust across our fleet,” said the Chief Operating Officer.
