Transform radio chatter into real-time safety intelligence

What is Canary Waves?

Voice-to-data safety intelligence
for mining and heavy operations.

Canary Waves turns unstructured two-way radio chatter into structured safety and operations insight. Designed for high-risk, high-complexity worksites where real-time communication is essential — but rarely analyzed — Canary Waves uses speech recognition and machine learning to flag safety risks, operational inefficiencies, and leading indicators buried in daily radio traffic.

Equipment Communication and Collision Prevention

No More Metal-on-Metal.

Clear Communication between heavy equipment is key to reducing metal on metal incidents and potential injuries or fatalities. Canary Waves technology helps promote positive equipment passes and situational and spatial awareness. Data can be used to develop positive incentive programs and to ensure compliance with communication safety standards.

Hazard Identification and Safety Culture Reinforcement

Know the Risk. Own the Fix.

Hazard identification is the foundation of any safety program. The next step is hazard mitigation. Canary Waves helps drive value in both categories, providing documentation and logging of safety hazards and mitigating actions to ensure compliance and drive a winning safety culture.

Contractor Oversight and KPI Monitoring

Track the Work. Hit the KPIs.

Contracted services are a huge part of mine site success. Canary Waves technology can help ensure contract terms are being met and KPIs are being delivered by both contract and internal employees alike.

Our story

We live in a world where technology evolves at lightning speed - yet preventable accidents still claim lives on worksites every day.

For Jack and Julia, this disconnect is no longer acceptable. We have the tools. We have the data. And now, with AI, we have the power to act before things go wrong.

Canary Waves exists because we believe the latest advances in AI should serve those on the frontlines.

There’s no excuse to ignore preventable risk in the age of real-time insight. Leaders have a responsibility to act. Innovators like us have a duty to build.

We’re here to make sure change actually happens.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Canary Waves work on-site?

CanaryWaves gathers and reads radio recording files taken from site. It connects directly to site servers to access data. The best part? This structure requires no new radio hardware, training, or behavioral change for frontline operators.

What industries do you support?

We specialize in mining, manufacturing, and energy—wherever safety is critical.

Is training required for staff?

Canary’s voice interface is intuitive and requires minimal training to get started.

What if we aren't currently recording two-way chatter?

No problem! We have developed relationships with hardware suppliers and dealers to integrate this on site. The installation and set up is an extremely low barrier to entry and can be worked into a CanaryWaves agreement.

We already have plenty of systems. Won't this just be another?

Canary-Waves is designed as a passive data organization and observation tool. Its web-based and email based, giving decision makers easy, low-impact info. If necessary, Canary Waves can be integrated into other operations management systems already on site. Overall, CanaryWaves is meant to enhance all the systems you already have in place, not just add another one to manage.

What about privacy?

Canary Waves has taken a relentless approach to anonymity and privacy. The software is designed with multiple "read-only" systems that pull data, analyze and integrate it into our models, and delete those records. We do not store any employee or identifying information. Encryption of data and the CanaryWaves platform is also built in throughout, ensuring your data is secure during processing.
