Develon unveils AI-powered transparent bucket 2.0

Develon has launched the next generation of its transparent bucket system, which allows the operators of wheeled loaders improved visibility and therefore safety.

The OEM – previously called Doosan Construction Equipment – describes the Transparent Bucket 2.0 (TB2.0) system as, “an advanced safety and visibility system for the company’s wheel loaders.”

Traditional wheeled loaders create blind spots in front of the machine due to the raised bucket, posing serious safety risks. The Develon Transparent Bucket solves this problem by using high-tech front-mounted cameras to create a real-time see-through effect on the cab monitor. This gives the operator a clear view of the obstructed area, ensuring greater awareness and precision when handling materials.

Doosan launched what it said was the industry’s first ‘transparent bucket’ mounted wheeled loader back in 2021.

Building on the success of the previous version of the system, TB2.0 introduces AI-powered Object Detection (OD) and Object Recognition to provide enhanced safety and real-time hazard alerts.

AI-powered OD identifies objects – including people – within 10m and immediately alerts the operator with a red triangular warning on the monitor. With Advanced Object Recognition, the system learns the position of the bucket and automatically adjusts the composite image to match the movement of the bucket, ensuring accurate real-time visualisation.

TB2.0 integrates two cameras mounted on the cab and front frame to create a seamless, curved projection composite image of the space in front of the bucket. This ensures that the display dynamically adjusts as the loader moves, maintaining an uninterrupted view for the operator.

As part of TB2.0, Develon has improved the warning system with colour-coded alerts that instantly communicate the level of danger to the operator.

A red flashing border indicates if an object is detected within the bucket’s transparency zone while a yellow flashing border displays if an object is detected outside of the visibility zone, signalling a potential hazard.
