Wenco International Mining Systems proudly participated in the BigBrainData Sandpit, where our Principal Scientist, EHS, Emily Tetzlaff, shared how SmartCap technology is supporting operator alertness and workplace safety worldwide.
The BigBrainData Sandpit brought together leading minds from academia, industry, and government to explore the future of neurotechnology and its ethical, social, and business implications. Emily joined experts in neuroethics, health policy, human-computer interaction, innovation management, and more to discuss how EEG data can drive meaningful impact in real-world applications.
“Learning and engaging with such inspiring colleagues truly showed the power of diverse perspectives and creative approaches,” said Emily. “I’m excited to bring these insights back to Wenco and continue the conversations.”
SmartCap: Driving Safer Workplaces
SmartCap uses EEG-based technology to monitor operator alertness in real time, helping prevent fatigue-related incidents and improve productivity across mining operations globally. By participating in events like BigBrainData Sandpit, Wenco reinforces its commitment to innovation, safety, and collaboration.
Special thanks to Dr. Alexander Kies, Stephan Sonnenburg, and Petra Ahrweiler for hosting this incredible event, and to Wübben Stiftung Wissenschaft for their generous support.
