Blaxtair Origin® saves lives! The intelligent onboard camera helps prevent accidents between people and moving equipment. Blaxtair Origin® uses artificial intelligence to distinguish a person from an obstacle in real time, alerting the driver to the danger without unnecessary alarms.
"(Required)" indicates required fields
Blaxtair Origin® is the only AI camera capable of accurately detecting and locating pedestrian in real time, in any posture (standing or crouching) in all the most demanding work environments. This system not only alerts drivers to danger without unnecessary alarms, but also helps HSE and site managers control and reduce the risk of accidents. There’s no equivalent on the market that’s as compact, robust, connected, scalable and easy to install.
This pedestrian proximity detection system constantly scans obstructed areas around the machine, especially in the vehicle’s blind spots. Blaxtair Origin® features the most efficient onboard Artificial Intelligence to detect a person in danger, tanks to its ultra-powerful AI algorithms and unique, extensive learning database. The system emits an audible and visual alarm to alert the driver to the imminence of danger. An in-cab control screen allows immediate verification of the criticality of the situation by the driver.

Detects and localizes pedestrians in real time.
Monitors and reduces risk of accidents.
Industrial-grade solution, operational in harsh and tough environements, e.g. strong vibration, high impacts, wide temperature variance (-40°F to 185°F).
laxtair Origin® generates only relevant alerts for the driver, avoiding nuisance alarms and alarm fatigue.Blaxtair Origin® can be adapted to all brands and types of industrial and construction machinery: from forklift to telescopic handler, through to loader and excavator. The detection zone can be adjusted in length and width depending on the type of machine and use.
Despite efforts to regulate forklift and pedestrian traffic, physical separation is not always possible, and there is always a significant risk of collision due to the layout of warehouses, the momentary inattention of a pedestrian or forklift operator, and the inevitable coactivity between forklifts and truck drivers or workers on foot.
The recycling industry, particularly sorting centers, generates a high level of contact between people on the ground and machines, leading to serious accidents every year. Pedestrian traffic or sorting on the ground, on the one hand, and drivers’ attention to their productive task at the controls of powerful machines with large blind spots, on the other, present a high risk of collision.
Ensuring the safety of people on foot on a construction site, in a quarry, sandpit, mine or tunnel is of paramount importance. Machines regularly operating in close proximity to pedestrians present a real danger. Drivers lack visibility due to large blind spots. What’s more, workers on the ground often wear hearing protection and can’t hear these machines as they approach.
What is a Blaxtair AI pedestrian detection camera and how does it work?
The Blaxtair system is an onboard camera equipped with artificial intelligence that detects and locates pedestrians in real time around heavy machinery. It uses 3D vision technology to alert the operator in less than 300 milliseconds (faster than the blink of an eye!).
The Blaxtair camera can detect a pedestrian even when crouched or only partially visible (for example, just a leg). Both the operator and the pedestrian receive visual and audible alerts only when a worker enters the preconfigured and customizable safety zone.
What is the difference between Blaxtair and a standard backup camera system?
A backup camera only displays an image — that’s all. Blaxtair understands what it sees. Thanks to its embedded artificial intelligence, it analyzes each image in real time, identifies people (standing, crouching, or partially visible), evaluates the level of risk, and triggers a targeted alert. It can also record detection events and transmit data to a safety management dashboard through the optional Blaxtair Connect module.
Can Blaxtair operate in harsh mining and industrial environments?
Yes. Blaxtair technologies are specifically designed for the toughest environments: intense vibrations, impacts, dust, mud, and extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C. The camera is IP69K certified, meaning it withstands high-pressure water jets and immersion. That is why it is widely used in mines, quarries, recycling facilities, and municipal operations around the world.
Do pedestrians need to wear badges or tags for the system to work?
No. This is one of Blaxtair’s greatest advantages: no wearable equipment is required for workers. Detection is fully visual and autonomous. This greatly simplifies deployment on a job site while eliminating the costly purchase and management of tags.
What types of machines can Blaxtair cameras be installed on?
Blaxtair 5 is compatible with all types and brands of heavy equipment, including forklifts, wheel loaders, excavators, dump trucks, telehandlers, graders, refuse trucks, and municipal vehicles. Detection zones can be adjusted in both length and width depending on the machine type and operating environment.
How long does it take to install a Blaxtair system on a vehicle?
The installation process is designed to be quick. In most cases, a certified technician such as those from RMT Equipment can complete the installation and operator training within one day per machine. Some models, such as the Blaxtair 5 ECO, can even be installed directly by the customer at a rate of up to two systems per technician per day.
What is Blaxtair Connect and what is it used for?
Blaxtair Connect is the optional cloud-based IoT module for the system. It allows health and safety managers to monitor real-time detection data across an entire fleet: which machines present the highest risk, where and when incidents occur most frequently, and how effective preventive measures are over time.
It is a powerful tool for health and safety teams looking to move from a reactive to a proactive safety approach.
Does Blaxtair help companies comply with workplace health and safety regulations in Quebec?
Yes. Quebec’s Occupational Health and Safety Act (LSST) requires employers to take the necessary measures to protect workers from hazards associated with moving machinery. An AI detection system like Blaxtair represents a recognized and documented technical prevention measure. In addition, event data recorded through Blaxtair Connect can serve as supporting evidence during compliance audits or accident investigations.
What makes Blaxtair different from other proximity detection systems?
Most proximity detection systems rely on ultrasonic technology. These systems detect the presence of an object without knowing whether it is a person, a pole, or another vehicle. They are also heavily affected by environmental conditions such as snow, mud, and ice, often resulting in false detections or system failure when obstructed.
Thanks to its AI technology, Blaxtair continues to operate reliably in extreme conditions, even with a dirty lens.
Is RMT Equipment a certified Blaxtair distributor in Quebec?
Yes. RMT is the exclusive Canadian distributor of Blaxtair solutions. RMT maintains inventory for all models and operates a certified technical service center capable of repairing both older-generation Blaxtair products (Blaxtair 3, MR90, MR180) and new-generation systems (Origin, MR120, BXT5 ECO, BXT5 PRO).
