At CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 in Las Vegas (March 3-7, 2026), VIA Technologies. brought the concept of safety tech as a fleet standardisation play, not a bolt-on accessory. The company showcased two product tracks built around the same idea: fuse camera and radar data into one decision layer, then deploy it across both new machines and legacy iron.
VIA Mobile360 Safety Solution: a unified “sensor fusion” stack
The main exhibit was the VIA Mobile360 Safety Solution, presented as a fully integrated platform where VIA designs both the ruggedised on-vehicle hardware and the AI software. The core claim is that controlling the full stack allows camera plus radar sensor fusion to work as one system, rather than a multi-vendor patchwork that can be harder to standardize across a mixed fleet.
On the jobsite-use-case side, VIA emphasised:
- Blind-spot coverage with AI-based visual detection (their “Digital Spotter” concept) for people, vehicles, and obstacles.
- Time-to-collision logic intended to cut nuisance alarms and reduce alert fatigue.
- Mixed-fleet compatibility, positioning the system as brand-agnostic and suitable for retrofits as well as new equipment.
VIA Detect: reversing-focused, retrofit-ready collision avoidance
Alongside the full platform, VIA introduced VIA Detect, a more targeted solution built specifically around reversing manoeuvres. The system combines a camera and radar with predictive time-to-collision logic, and is designed to activate using gear-direction logic when the machine shifts into reverse. VIA’s message at the show was simple: reversing incidents drive injuries and downtime, and “smart” alerts need to be selective enough that operators do not tune them out.
Why it mattered at CONEXPO 2026
VIA tied both launches to two realities contractors keep talking about: the operator skills gap and the cost of running older equipment longer. The company’s “one architecture” pitch is aimed at fleet managers who want a single training and deployment approach across mixed brands and model years, rather than different safety systems per OEM.
