BlastIQ™ provides quality control management of blast design implementation.

BlastIQ™ offers full control throughout the blasting process, delivering quality control management of blast design implementation through improved visibility and control of bench operations, and systemised access and implementation of design and loading rules.

Hole position identification capability: Available in both BlastIQ™ enabled delivery systems and BlastIQ™ Mobile, the hole position identification feature helps operators to identify holes on-bench, reducing errors from potential confusion over hole identification and ensuring accurate recording of which holes have been dipped or loaded.

Seamless electronic transfer of designs and data, minimising the potential for transcription error: Through BlastIQ™ Mobile or Orica's Bulkmaster™ delivery system, field data is easily captured electronically and transferred to the BlastIQ™ Platform for rapid access, reporting, insights and audits.

Full delivery system data integration: World first two-way data integration with Orica's Bulkmaster™ delivery units providing accurate and automated data capture seamlessly every time.

Improves visibility and control of on-bench operations: Blast crews use technologies with in-built access to design and automate loading rules for efficient capture of auditable data from the bench.

Automated Insights: BlastIQ™ automatically generates standardised visuals of key parameters from your blasting data, allowing for rapid analysis and insights both within and across blasts, providing new levels of understanding and measurements of efficiency.

Visibility-of-Key-Performance-Indicators

Visibility of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Exception reports can be generated to provide better visibility to manage blast quality control.

Eliminates excess expense and reduces risk of poor environmental outcomes: Eliminate manual entry and drive efficiency through ensuring the right product with the right energy is put in the blasthole every time.

Enables operations personnel with systemised access to design and loading rules: Real-time visibility between the bench and the office, allowing for rapid design updates and loading rules to be generated and communicated back to the loading crews to make the necessary changes to optimise the blast.

Technologies

The next generation BlastIQ™ Platform delivers a suite of enhanced technologies, empowering better decision making and increased control of blasting outcomes.

The technologies in the BlastIQ™ Platform are designed to deliver economic and operational value individually, but the benefits are maximised when they are integrated in a systemised process.

"Good blast design is critical. We have a busy production schedule, and we blast about three to four times a week. Having access to instant data means that you are making informed decisions"

"Each plant requires a different material, different sizing, different fragmentation. Hole sizing, hole depth and getting the holes in the right place is very critical in a blast."
