Watch the physical signals
Connect CO, methane, airflow, temperature, vibration, water pressure, and suppression status in one operating view.
Mine fire early warning
Earlier warning for mine fire and life safety.
Realm is an AI intelligence platform for connected mine operations. For fire and life safety, it correlates existing cameras, atmospheric sensors, equipment data, and safety records to surface developing risk earlier.

Why early warning matters
Early warning only matters when teams can act.
Realm brings abnormal conditions, affected people and assets, production impact, and response records into one view so teams can investigate from the same evidence.
- People
- Give crews clearer evidence before they enter an area.
- Assets
- Focus inspections on equipment showing abnormal change.
- Production
- Surface developing conditions before downtime expands.
- Response
- Keep alerts, evidence, owners, and actions in one record.
One early-warning layer
No single alarm sees the whole fire risk.
Realm evaluates conditions, visual evidence, and readiness together—helping teams separate developing hazards from isolated signals.
Visual intelligence
See what instruments miss
Surface visible heat, smoke, flame, belt drift, and spillage from fixed and thermal cameras for operator review.
Safety records
Close readiness gaps
View inspections, training, rock-dusting controls, and equipment readiness beside live conditions—not in separate binders.
NIOSH found that CO-only monitoring can produce nuisance alarms; combining sensor types can improve early warning and discrimination. Read the NIOSH study.
From signal to action
Make every warning easier to act on.
Start with one high-risk asset class. Expand where the system reduces uncertainty and response time.

Connect
Connect existing cameras, sensors, controls, and records.
- 02
Correlate
Evaluate signals by location, asset, severity, and rate of change.
- 03
Route
Deliver alerts with condition, evidence, location, timestamp, and owner.

Document
Preserve controls, response, and unresolved risk in one record.
“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.”

FAQ
A mine fire early-warning system brings together signals that may indicate developing conditions before a single alarm can show the full risk. Realm correlates those signals with the affected location, asset, and response context.
