Brigade brings Vision Zero expertise to the Saskatchewan Mining Supply Chain Forum

Published

on

BURLINGTON, ON, April 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Brigade showcased its high-quality range of commercial vehicle safety solutions at the Saskatchewan Mining Supply Chain Forum 2025 in Saskatoon between April 9th and 10th.

In the mining and quarrying sector, excavators and tippers operate in rough terrain and harsh weather conditions which create a hazardous working environment.

During the event, Brigade answered questions and helped operators navigate appropriate safety solutions to aid drivers and prevent collisions. These included Brigade’s products such as AI cameras, Radar Predict system and Front Radar.

Warren Di Marco, CEO of Brigade Canada, said:

“In 2021, mobile vehicles replaced rock falls as the top killer of miners worldwide, and there are 46.9 fatalities per 100,000 workers each year in the mining and quarrying sector. Research shows that fatal occupational injuries for miners are six times that of all other private industry sectors.

“In addition, in 2022, road collisions led to 1,931 Canadians being killed on our roads, while a further 8,851 people were seriously injured. As well as the loss of life and impact on families, transport injuries also have a financial effect and cost Canada $3.6 billion a year. Brigade has spent years painstakingly researching and developing the best and most reliable safety solutions for both on and off-road vehicles to assist drivers and greatly enhance safety for all.”

Brigade’s newest product has recently entered the market – an AI driver safety camera. This aims to reduce the possibility of an incident caused by a lack of concentration or driver fatigue. Sensors positioned near the steering wheel track signs of distracted behaviour and tiredness by continuous monitoring of the driver’s face, eyes and head movements. They can pick up on cellphone usage and seatbelt deployment as well as unusual drooping, yawning or nodding. Built-in AI analyzes these signals and provides audible alerts to the driver. Erratic steering and unusual vehicle positioning can also trigger an alarm, and there is the option of alerting the fleet manager too.

Brigade’s recently upgraded award-winning Backeye®360 has been a bestseller for the company since its 2013 launch. The 360-degree camera now features cutting-edge AI capable of identifying humans in vehicle blind spots.

The intelligent camera system aids manoeuvrability in challenging situations by providing drivers with a complete 360-degree view of their vehicle in a single image. The system merges images from four cameras positioned around the vehicle and provides a real-time view on an in-cab monitor, creating a ‘bird’s-eye view’ of the vehicle and its surroundings. Given the many blind spots on vehicles undertaking mining, quarrying and heavy construction work on busy and constricted sites, this is essential for safeguarding workers.

Warren added:

“By enhancing our Backeye®360 and other cameras with AI technology, we offer operators even greater assurance that they are using the safest solutions available. Our innovative systems not only prevent incidents but also provide critical support. Brigade’s AI cameras integrate effortlessly into a vehicle’s existing infrastructure for a seamless upgrade and are compatible with our entire range of AI-powered devices.

“Brigade works tirelessly to prevent collisions at our mines and quarries, and on our construction sites and roads, and our recent partnership with Together for Safer Roads (TSR) will add further support to our efforts. We hope to meet as many people as possible at the Saskatchewan Mining Supply Chain Forum and raise awareness of the huge and multiple benefits of commercial vehicle safety solutions.”

Brigade attended the Saskatchewan Mining Supply Chain Forum, Prairieland Park, 503 Ruth St W, Saskatoon SK S7K 4E4 between April 9th and 10th.

Global Ultra-Low-Power Microcontroller Market Overview

Market Driver

Surge in IoT and Connected Device Deployments: The rapid increase in the implementation of IoT and interconnected devices across diverse sectors, such as smart cities, agriculture, and home automation, serves as a primary growth accelerator. These applications require extended battery longevity and reliable performance in challenging or isolated conditions. Ultra-low-power microcontrollers (ULP MCUs) provide optimal energy consumption, facilitating smooth integration into tiny, wirelessly connected devices where energy conservation is paramount.

Rising Demand for Wearable and Portable Medical Devices: The surge in wearable technology, especially in fitness trackers, medical monitoring devices, and portable diagnostic tools, is substantially propelling the demand for ULP MCUs. These devices necessitate ultra-low standby power, rapid wake-up periods, and real-time data processing—attributes exclusively offered by ULP microcontrollers. Original Equipment Manufacturers in the healthcare and consumer electronics industries depend on these components to provide small, high-performance solutions with prolonged battery life.

Integration with Energy Harvesting and Edge Computing Technologies: The transition to decentralized processing via edge computing and the demand for self-sustaining electronic systems have fostered an environment conducive to the development of ultra-low-power microcontrollers (ULP MCUs). These controllers are progressively integrated into sensor nodes and devices that employ solar, vibrational, or thermal energy harvesting. Their capacity to operate on limited power renders them optimal for predictive maintenance systems and industrial IoT applications, where uninterrupted functionality with minimal intervention is crucial.

Market Restraint

Processing Power and Memory Limitations: Notwithstanding their energy efficiency, ULP MCUs generally have restricted processor speeds and limited memory capacity. This limits their applicability in computationally intensive or multifunctional domains such as edge machine learning, sophisticated image recognition, or AI-driven processing. Organizations may require the augmentation or substitution of ULP MCUs with higher-capacity controllers, hence negating the advantages of low power consumption in specific advanced applications.

Complex System Integration and Compatibility Challenges: ULP MCUs frequently exhibit incompatibility with established software ecosystems or older platforms, necessitating bespoke firmware development and particular design frameworks. This complicates integration into bigger systems, particularly when synchronization with numerous components is necessary. These complications increase engineering overhead and may extend time-to-market, discouraging enterprises pursuing expedited product development cycles.

High Initial R&D and Development Costs: Developing solutions with ultra-low-power microcontrollers can be cost-prohibitive, particularly during the prototyping and testing phases. Specialized development boards, simulation tools, and software frameworks are often essential. The employees must get training on power-optimized coding and hardware configurations. These preliminary investments may be considerable, especially for SMEs and startups, limiting broader market penetration.

Geographical Dominance

North America leads the Ultra-Low-Power Microcontroller Market, driven by improved IoT integration, strong semiconductor research and development, and a substantial presence of major technological firms. The region’s significant demand for energy-efficient solutions in healthcare, industrial automation, and smart home applications drives growth, positioning it as a pivotal hub for research and early technological adoption.

Key Players

The ‘Global Ultra-Low-Power Microcontroller Market’ study report will provide a valuable insight with an emphasis on the global market. The major players in the market are Microchip Technology, Texas Instruments, Renesas Electronic Corporation, STMicroelectronics, Infineon Technologies AG, NXP Semiconductors, Silicon Laboratories, Panasonic Corporation, ON Semiconductor, and Intel Corporation.
