On May 28, 2013, Caterpillar Global Mining announced an alliance agreement with Seeing Machines Limited to deliver and support operator fatigue monitoring technology through Cat^® dealers. Seeing Machines, headquartered in Canberra, Australia, has developed fatigue monitoring systems using patented cutting-edge eye tracking technology to detect operator fatigue and distraction and to alert the mine controller and the machine operator.

The alliance with Seeing Machines is a natural progression of Caterpillar Global Mining's work to mitigate fatigue risks in mining activities. Caterpillar continues to raise awareness and industry understanding of the implications of 24/7 shift work on equipment operator performance, distraction and fatigue through industry training programs such as "Managing a Mining Lifestyle" and through partnerships with industry organizations and research universities.
