VIA TECHNOLOGIES TO DEBUT VIA® DETECT AT CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026: THE RETROFIT SOLUTION TURNING ZERO ACCIDENTS INTO MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY

From the makers of the NIOSH Award-Winning Innovation Technology, the new VIA® Detect AI-Powered reversing solution eliminates the primary cause of job site downtime without nuisance alarms.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – February 3, 2026 – VIA Technologies, Inc. announced today that it will debut VIA® Detect at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 next month. To be showcased at Booth N12935, this rugged, retrofit-ready safety solution is designed to transform backing safety in the construction, mining, and aggregates industries.

Reversing incidents are a primary cause of injury and operational stoppages. VIA® Detect addresses this issue by combining advanced people detection with predictive Time-To-Collision (TTC) radar. The result is a system that acts as a digital spotter for operators to ensure safety protocols drive efficiency rather than slowing it down.

MODERNIZING FLEETS TO BRIDGE THE SKILLS GAP

Designed for the harsh realities of heavy machinery, VIA® Detect allows fleet managers to upgrade legacy equipment with cutting-edge AI. Replacing passive backup cameras with active collision avoidance enables companies to provide inexperienced operators with the situational awareness of a veteran. This capability instantly modernizes fleets without the capital cost of purchasing new assets.

SMART TECHNOLOGY WITH ZERO FATIGUE

Operators often tune out constant-alarm radar systems. VIA® Detect solves this by utilizing intelligent gear-direction logic. The system activates exclusively when the vehicle shifts into reverse to scan the path for people and obstacles. Visual and audible alerts trigger only in high-risk scenarios. This precision solves the industry-wide issue of alert fatigue and ensures every notification commands immediate attention.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Protect Uptime: Eliminating backing accidents prevents costly investigations and repairs to keep projects on schedule.

  • Intelligent Sensor Fusion: A single camera and radar configuration deliver precise differentiation between pedestrians, vehicles, and harmless obstacles.

  • Time-to-Collision (TTC) Logic: Radar algorithms calculate trajectory and speed to alert only on imminent threats rather than parallel traffic.

  • Retrofit Ready: Engineered for simple installation on loaders and compact equipment for rapid fleet-wide deployment.

A WORD FROM LEADERSHIP

“Safety is the foundation of efficiency. When accidents are eliminated, downtime is eliminated. VIA® Detect brings award-winning AI technology to the most critical movement on the job site: reversing. It is built to be a rugged upgrade that protects ground crews and keeps the operation moving.”
– Epan Wu, Corporate Vice President, VIA Technologies, Inc.
