FATIGUE MONITORING
By using Readi , Orica joins a rapidly growing list of mining and transportation firms that have recently opted to use Readi for predicting operator fatigue before it happens . Moreover , by making a three-year commitment to the use of Readi , Orica signals the confidence it gained during its successful evaluation phase earlier in 2023 . Key success areas include improvements in day-to-day safety and productivity outcomes .
Readi is based on scientifically-validated biomathematical modelling and serves as both a system of record for operational fatigue data and a daily tool for supervisor decision-making . The investment by Orica represents a clear step toward employing data-driven technology to optimise operations and increase safety of its employees and contractors working on site .
" We ' re delighted with the Orica team ’ s decision to deploy Readi across their Mexico and Dominican Republic work sites ," says Andrew Morden , CEO of Fatigue Science . " We ’ re grateful for Orica ’ s shared belief in our mission to mitigate fatigue risk and optimize worker safety through the use of proven , data-driven technology .”
Fatigue Science describes Readi FMIS as “ the world ’ s leading fatigue management information system .” Based on the renowned leading biomathematical fatigue model , SAFTE™ , Readi interprets operator sleep data and / or estimates of operators ’ sleep derived from machine
learning . With these data , Readi calculates a unique and personalised fatigue prediction for every operator , for each hour in every shift . It provides these fatigue predictions both to supervisors and to the operators themselves via mobile notifications and optional wearables .
In March 2023 , Fatigue Science said that its Readi platform has been adopted by 20 mine sites worldwide , stating : “ This significant milestone demonstrates the growing trend in the mining industry to proactively address fatigue using advanced predictive tools like Readi , which is now in use across six continents and 102 countries . Prominent mining firms such as Newcrest , Minsur , Newmont , Marcobre , and Thiess have joined the growing list of companies that have embraced Readi as a daily tool for

protecting all workers on site . The adoption of Readi ’ s predictive fatigue management technology is part of a larger industry trend toward prioritising worker safety , health , and productivity .
“ Reaching the milestone of 20 site-wide installations is a testament to the effectiveness and value of our predictive technology and the mining industry ’ s evolution toward mass adoption of ML-based predictive fatigue management technology ,” says Andrew Morden . “ As the mining industry continues to evolve , we
