VIA Technologies introduces its AI-powered Sensor Fusion Collision Avoidance System at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, integrating radar and camera data into a unified safety solution.
The system is brand-agnostic and retrofit-ready, enabling installation across various heavy equipment models to standardize fleet safety.
The proprietary ‘Digital Spotter’ AI visually detects humans, vehicles, and obstacles in blind spots, enhancing operator awareness.
Features like Time-to-Collision filtering reduce false alarms, while VIA® Detect offers focused rear blind spot monitoring for targeted reversing safety.
Closing the Operator Skills Gap with the Industry’s Only Unified ‘Sensor Fusion’ Safety Stack
Winner of the NIOSH 2024 Mine Safety Award and 2025 OH&S Product of the Year, VIA’s ruggedized ‘Digital Spotter’ technology eliminates blind spots to protect people and profits.
VIA Technologies, Inc. unveiled its proprietary VIA AI-Powered Safety Solution with Sensor Fusion Collision Avoidance System today at Booth N12935 during CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026. Addressing the construction industry’s critical need to balance safety with operational speed, VIA is launching two innovations: the fully integrated and retrofit-ready VIA Mobile360 Safety Solution and the retrofit-ready VIA® Detect.
The proprietary advantage: Unified hardware and software
Most safety systems function as a patchwork of cameras and radars from one vendor and software from another. VIA Technologies differentiates itself as a Single-Source manufacturer, constructing both the brain (AI Software) and the body (Ruggedized Hardware) in-house.
By controlling the entire stack, the system fuses Radar data and Camera visuals into a single, instant decision. For the Fleet Manager, this Unified Architecture creates a system that is completely brand agnostic. It installs seamlessly on almost any vehicle, whether a 2026 loader or a legacy one, allowing operations to standardize one safety solution across their entire mixed fleet.
Highlights & key innovations:
- Brand-Agnostic & Retrofit-Ready: Designed to integrate with any make or model of heavy equipment, regardless of manufacturer. This universal compatibility allows safety directors to deploy a single, standardized training protocol across a diverse fleet of excavators, loaders, and haulers.
The ‘Digital Spotter’ Advantage: Proprietary AI visuals (The ‘Blue Box’ Overlay) instantly identifies humans, vehicles, and obstacles in the blind spots, including berms and fences.
Zero Alert Fatigue: Time-to-Collision (TTC) technology filters out harmless parallel traffic. Operators are alerted only to imminent threats, keeping them focused on the job, not the noise.
Targeted Reversing Safety: For operations that do not require full-perimeter monitoring,VIA® Detect offers a streamlined, standalone solution. It focuses proprietary Sensor Fusiontechnology exclusively on the rear blind spot, utilizing smart gear-direction logic to replace passive cameras with active intelligence exactly where it is needed most.
Protecting Ground Crews: When a hazard is detected, the system triggers Exterior Warning Lights and Alarms, alerting pedestrians to move to safety. This active warning is critical in high-decibel environments where backup beepers are ignored.
Executive insight
“The industry is tired of patchwork solutions. We engineered the hardware to withstand the extremes and the software to understand the risk. This isn’t just about compliance; it’s about continuity. Because when you eliminate false alarms and collisions, you maximize uptime.” – Epan Wu, Corporate Vice President, VIA Technologies, Inc.
