“Realm is a game changer for Oak Grove, materially improving both safety and productivity.”
“Having an AI top layer that continuously monitors our critical components is a real game-changer. This allows us to diagnose, intervene, and address issues more effectively to get us back up and running sooner.”
AI tailored to your mine. You can’t have five guys sitting watching cameras. Realm watches your existing cameras and control systems and flags what stops production, draws citations, or gets someone hurt.
Today you rely on one person per shift to spot trouble on miles of moving belt. Realm watches every belt around the clock and flags a belt running off track, so crews can fix it before it fails and makes a mess.

Operators often don’t make an adjustment until they take a sample and test it, and nobody has people watching every cell all shift. Realm reads bubble size, froth velocity, and stability on every cell and flags drift or lost flow so operators can adjust chemical dosing before recovery falls.

Reviewing pressure one shield at a time takes hours every week, and intermittent issues are easy to miss. Realm analyzes every shield’s pressure readings, flags shields that keep losing pressure and resetting, and shows the maintenance crew where to focus.

Training someone on a procedure isn’t enough, and even if it’s on camera, no one’s looking at the camera. Realm watches your existing cameras for anyone entering a guarded area and alerts safety teams in real time so they can act before it’s too late.

Realm compares turnaround and dwell time across shifts so you can see what your best crew does to execute rapid turnarounds and close the gap with the rest.

Today each citation gets scanned, saved to a desktop, typed into a database, and printed out to decide whether to contest it. Realm puts deadlines, repeat conditions, regulations, and judges’ rulings in one place so teams can terminate citations faster and prevent repeats.

Realm builds the sheet you go over in shift meetings: where each inspector has been, what they’ve checked, and what citations they’ve written, plus enforcement trends and compliance metrics. Nobody has to fill it out by hand and print it off for the next shift.

A fan goes down and no notification is sent, or nuisance notifications pile up until nobody looks at them. Realm watches your SCADA data and texts the right person the moment a reading trends toward a critical limit, so a real problem doesn’t depend on someone hearing an alarm.

Common questions from operations and safety teams evaluating Realm.
Nothing new. Realm connects to your existing cameras, sensors, and SCADA through secure, read-only integrations. No rip-and-replace. First use case typically goes live in under 30 days.
Realm is trained on real underground footage - dust, water, low light, belt spray. The system adapts to each site's conditions over time and incorporates operator feedback to reduce false positives. Production-proven at large, active underground coal operations.
Yes - through read-only data flows only. Realm ingests sensor and SCADA data to deliver insights to operators. It never writes to controls or modifies OT systems. Your existing architecture stays exactly as-is.
Realm delivers alerts through the channels your team already uses - email summaries, dashboards, and direct notifications to supervisors. Every alert includes visual evidence and context so the person receiving it can act immediately.
Realm fuses video and sensor data to filter noise before an alert ever reaches your team. Operators can flag incorrect detections directly, and the system learns from that feedback. False positive rates drop significantly in the first weeks.
Realm is a single platform that spans safety monitoring, asset health, plant optimization, and regulatory compliance. Most sites start with one use case and expand as they see results - the same infrastructure supports all of them.
Realm's founders have built powerful software systems for international corporate and government clients.
