Site
Sites & haul circuits
Register each mine site, define haul roads and dump pockets, configure compliance thresholds and alert rules that match local regulations and ESG commitments.
Live dust & road intelligence for mine fleetsLive haul road intelligence
See every haul road risk
before it becomes downtime.
DustScout combines on-truck sensing, AI driven analytics and premium dashboards to give mines a continuous view of dust, corrugation, gradient and surface risk across every site, truck, session and trip, enabling data-driven ESG reporting and operational intelligence.
Built in Africa, engineered for global mining operations that take ESG, safety and fleet health seriously.

Why DustScout
One sensor kit, one platform, a complete picture of your haul roads.
DustScout sits on the truck, listens to the road and streams intelligence into a central control panel. Not just dust readings, but an operational narrative for every trip: where dust spikes, where corrugation emerges, where gradients bite and where road temperature silently increases risk.

Edge
Truck mounted sensing
A compact DustScout unit sits on the truck and captures dust, vibration, speed and road temperature in real time, mapped precisely to the road.
Cloud
AI driven analytics
Data streams into Sentinel's cloud and is converted into interpretable scores, segments and recommendations that operations can use immediately.
Operations
Actionable playbooks
DustScout suggests watering, grading and road interventions where they will have the highest impact, backed by a transparent data trail.
Meet SilicaSense
The next generation of silica risk awareness without the lab.
SilicaSense™ is a breakthrough in intelligent dust analytics bringing mines a level of silica awareness that was previously impossible without costly, specialised laboratory instruments. By analysing real-time particulate behaviour, concentration patterns, and environmental conditions, SilicaSense™ identifies the signature of conditions where respirable crystalline silica is most likely to be present.
It transforms existing dust data into actionable silica risk insights, empowering mines to make informed decisions long before hazardous exposure occurs.
Real-time silica risk inference
Early-warning alerts
Water optimization insights
Regulatory compliance support
Detection
Real-time risk inference
Identifies dust conditions linked to high silica likelihood using advanced particulate modelling and pattern recognition. Works with existing DustScout hardware—no new sensor required.
Intelligence
AI-powered analytics
Self-calibrating site model learns material behaviour over time. Generates a clear Silica Risk Index for every zone and route, updated continuously.
Operations
Actionable insights
Target suppression only where risk is rising—reducing water usage by up to 90%. Early-warning alerts via dashboard, SMS, or API when high-risk conditions are detected.

How you navigate DustScout
Site, truck, session, trip. One coherent model of your haul operations.
The DustScout platform is built around the same objects your operations team lives in: sites, trucks, sessions and trips. Every view, every alert and every report flows from these four lenses.
Truck
Trucks & fleet registry
Onboard trucks with serial, fleet number and OEM details, link DustScout units and see which trucks are generating coverage and which need attention.
Session
Sessions & shifts
Group trips into operator sessions and shifts for clean reporting. Ask simple questions like how dust evolved during the last night shift on A12.
Trip
Trips & replay
Reconstruct a single loaded or empty trip as a playable track with dust zones, gradient markers and event flags that tell the story of what happened on the road.
Platform
Edge to cloud to control room, with a ledger of every event.
DustScout is built as an opinionated pipeline. From sensor hardware in harsh conditions to clean APIs for reporting and ESG disclosures. Every reading flows through a structured, auditable path.
Edge • Truck unit
DustScout sensor kit
- On truck sensing for dust, vibration, temperature and speed.
- Local processing for noisy environments and intermittent connectivity.
- Buffering and retry logic so trips are not lost when coverage drops.
Cloud • Sentinel AI
Streaming & AI interpretation
- Ingestion via secure IoT and API pipelines.
- Segmentation into road segments with dust and condition scores.
- Machine learning models to detect corrugation patterns and risk trends.
Experience • Control panel
DustScout control room
- Map and timeline views for sites, trucks, sessions and trips.
- Notification centre for corrugation, gradient and pothole events.
- Exports for reporting, ESG documentation and regulator communication.
Screens
Built for control rooms, supervisors and ESG teams that need clarity at a glance.
The DustScout interface is designed to sit on a large screen in a control room or on a laptop in a planning meeting. High contrast, clear colours and layouts tuned for daily use.

Every view in DustScout is built for daily operational use. Whether you're monitoring real-time dust levels, reviewing road events, or generating ESG reports, the interface prioritizes clarity and actionable insights. The same data that powers control room dashboards flows seamlessly into compliance documentation and operational planning.
DustScout transforms raw sensor data into a coherent narrative of your haul roads, one that operations teams can use immediately and ESG teams can trust for reporting.
Ready to see your haul roads with DustScout clarity?
We can plug DustScout into a pilot fleet, stream live data into our control panel and give your team a working view of dust and surface risk in weeks, not years.
