Booyco Electronics drives smarter, safer mining across Africa

Leading South African innovator in mine safety technology Booyco Electronics specialises in advanced proximity detection systems (PDS), advanced missing person locating systems, AI camera systems and integrated safety solutions for surface and underground mining operations.

With more than two decades of experience in protecting people, equipment and production, the company has built a strong reputation for developing fit-for-purpose technologies that address the unique operational challenges of African mines. Its solutions are designed to enhance situational awareness, reduce risk and support compliance with increasingly stringent health and safety regulations across the mining sector.

Booyco Electronics is widely recognised for its leadership in supporting the implementation of PDS Level 9 intervention controls as required by South African legislation, working closely with mines, original equipment manufacturers, regulators and industry stakeholders to ensure practical, effective and sustainable safety outcomes.

Its systems combine machine-to-machine and machine-to-person detection, delivering real-time alerts and triggering automated interventions that help prevent vehicle interactions and improve operator decision-making.

The company’s expanding technology offering includes pedestrian detection AI-powered camera systems, fatigue monitoring and integrated data management platforms that provide mines with actionable safety insights and performance visibility.

Beyond technology supply, Booyco Electronics places strong emphasis on collaboration, training, change management and aftermarket support, recognising that successful safety adoption depends on people as much as technology.

As mining operations continue to pursue zero-harm objectives, Booyco Electronics remains committed to driving innovation that improves safety, productivity and operational confidence across Africa’s mining industry.
