Anthony Sacca is the Global Head of Sales of PitCrewAI, a mining technology company specialising in artificial intelligence and computer vision for haul truck tyre inspection. With over 25 years in mining technology and operations, Anthony has focused on applying advanced analytics, process and production improvements, automation to address critical reliability and safety challenges in large-scale open-pit mining. Under his leadership, PitCrewAI has developed and deployed fully automated tyre inspection systems that integrate high-resolution imaging, machine learning models, and edge computing to detect defects and anomalies in real time. These systems provide actionable insights that extend tyre life, reduce catastrophic failures, and minimise unplanned downtime. Anthony’s expertise lies in bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI research and the harsh realities of mine site environments, ensuring that solutions are both technically robust and operationally practical. His work with Tier 1 mining operations has helped establish new standards in predictive maintenance and condition monitoring for ultra-class haul fleets. At the Iron Ore and Pit Conference 2026, Anthony will present on the application of AI-driven computer vision for tyre monitoring, highlighting field results, implementation lessons, and the future of intelligent inspection in open-pit mining.
