Seeing Machines and BHP Billiton Energy Coal are also in dialog about further deployments of the DSS across other mines within this business unit.\n \nThe contract covers the fit out of the entire haul truck fleet, a number of ancillary vehicles and ongoing support services at the Navajo mine in New Mexico, USA. The installation will be completed next month and represents the Company's largest DSS installation in the mining sector at this time. \n \nThe DSS is an active system that directly monitors the driver of a vehicle for distraction and fatigue events and provides a series of interventions aimed at managing these events and averting potential disasters.\n \nSeeing Machines CEO, Nick Cerneaz said: \n\"We are very pleased to be working with BHP Billiton on such a significant contract for Seeing Machines. The operational conditions for drivers in the mining industry are very demanding and the DSS provides a proven technology option for mine site operators to use in their efforts to minimize both the direct costs of accidents and those knock-on effects of interrupted production. We believe this deal with BHP Billiton, and other recent announcements are indicative of the huge potential growth opportunities for our DSS business in the mining sector.\"\nFor further information:\n\n\n\n\nSeeing Machines Limited\nwww.seeingmachines.com\n \n\n\nNick Cerneaz, CEO\n\n\n+61 (0) 2 6103 4700\n\n\n\n\nGrant Thornton Corporate Finance (Nomad)\n \n\n\nGerry Beaney\nRobert Beenstock\n\n\n+44 (0) 20 7383 5100\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Stewart & Company plc \n \n\n\nMartin Lampshire\n\n\n+44 (0) 20 7776 6550\n\n\n\n\nWalbrook PR Ltd\n \n\n\nBen Knowles\nHelen Westaway\n\n\n+44 (0) 20 7933 8780\nMob. +44 (0) 7900 346 978\[email protected]\nhelen.westaway@wa...
