A mine boundary rarely follows infrastructure. The zones that need watching are the ones with no trenching, no fibre and no mains — and the incursions that matter, whether illegal mining, diversion at the weighbridge or contractor collusion, happen at hours when nobody is standing there.
Grid power ends where the risk begins.
Solar towers, no civil works
12-metre solar lattice towers with lithium storage, deployed without trenching or foundations. At Red Graniti we mounted surveillance poles on granite blocks already on site.
Thermal and radar past the fence line
Thermal optical PTZ, long-range IR and ground radar that track movement through dust, rain and total darkness before it reaches the boundary.
Weighbridge and plant integration
At Kleinfontein, Dragonfruit AI is wired directly into the weighbridge and scales, so the platform that detects an intruder also reconciles what left the gate.
Connectivity to 64km
Cambium point-to-multipoint links carrying 42km at Red Graniti and up to 64km at Kleinfontein, into a single control room instead of four disconnected systems.
Proof
Four mines, all of them still running
Sibanye-Stillwater — three off-grid solar towers, nine cameras, Axis thermal and 400m IR PTZ.
Red Graniti — 128 AI cameras on a 42km solar-powered network, completed April 2025.
Kleinfontein — 33 cameras, three solar towers, weighbridge integration into a central control room.
MAN Mining at Pulmietfontein — autonomous Titan trailers cutting diesel cost 20% while tracking Zama Zama incursions.
