Seeing Machines' Operator Safety Division announces further rollout of DSS with BHP Iron Ore

Canberra, Australia, 24 March 2014 - Seeing Machines (AIM: SEE) announces today that its Operator Safety Division has received purchase orders from BHP Billiton Iron Ore (ASX: BHP) for an additional 86 DSS (Driver Safety Systems) fatigue and distraction monitoring systems. The systems will be installed across BHP's Pilbara mine sites in Western Australia.

BHP Iron Ore will install the additional units across its Pilbara fleet of haul trucks and water carts. Following installation, BHP Iron Ore will have over 250 vehicles operating with DSS at their Mining Area C, Mt Whaleback, Eastern Ridge, Yandi, and Jimblebar Operations; making it one of the largest DSS fleets worldwide. The total value of this deployment is over AUD$1,400,000.

Ken Kroeger, Seeing Machines' CEO, said:

"This is another example of the mining industry acknowledging and supporting the safety advances being delivered with the DSS technology and the integral role that eye-tracking technology has to play in keeping their operators safe. The technology is fast becoming indispensable to the industry as a means to maximise worker safety. We are glad that this, along with our absolute commitment to the highest levels of service for our customers, is being recognized.

We look forward to furthering our working relationship with BHP Billiton at its Iron Ore sites in the Pilbara, supported by Caterpillar and by WesTrac in Western Australia."
