So, why is everyone just standing around staring at a pole with a white gizmo on top? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, the mine CEO recognized a problem and asked for a solution. From that not so simple question, \u201cCan you solve my problem?\u201d, AXL Eye<\/a> was developed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n AXL Eye is a patented, camera-based software solution, that digitally measures each truck entering a hauling site to determine the maximum allowable load rating on the vehicle based on State and Federal allowable limits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of our Blacksmith Ventures<\/a> portfolio companies, CISTANT<\/a>, acquired the technology back in 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We partnered with our friends at TRINDGROUP<\/a> to help us better understand the landscape in the #aggregate<\/a> mining segment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud835\udddb\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddf2 \ud835\uddf6\ud835\ude00 \ud835\ude04\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddee\ud835\ude01 \ud835\ude04\ud835\uddf2 \ud835\uddf8\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude04: The construction industry is booming right now for obvious reasons and the infrastructure bill will only accelerate road, bridges, and transportation upgrades. That\u2019s putting increased demand on aggregate mines across the US. Aggregate is a broad term that refers to sand, gravel, concrete, limestone, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once these products are mined, they are transported by heavy duty haulers (Class 7, 8, and 9 tractor trailers) to the job sites. With the growing number of trucks on the roadways, mine operators are seeing more and more issues with ensuring the trucks are loaded within State and Federal limits. Basically, ensuring no truck leaves their site overweight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
