END-TO-END BENCHMARKS AND INSIGHTS AT EVERY STAGE OF THE BLASTING PROCESS

Our solutions are designed in collaboration with our customers and partners to create a needs-driven and user-friendly suite of products that is flexible in application to support a range of business improvement opportunities.

Whether deployed together or individually, the advanced solutions ensure greater precision and predictability for surface and underground mining, quarries and construction operations, so our customers can better manage risk, optimise production, and keep people, communities and cultural heritage safe.

Features and Benefits

Optimised blasting outcomes

Optimised blasting outcomes

We provide solutions from pre-blast modelling and ore movement prediction through to design optimisation and post-blast measurement and analysis, delivering predictions, data, benchmarks and insights required to ensure sustainable and cost-effective outcomes and improvements at our customers' operations.

Improved productivity

Improved productivity

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

Improved environmental

Improved environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance

Optimised blast designs typically reduce explosives consumption, carbon emissions intensity per tonne of broken rock, water and emissions intensity in downstream processing activities. Access to ore near communities or sensitive infrastructure is also now possible through predictive modelling capability enabled by our Advanced Vibration Management (AVM) software, allowing our customers to safeguard their license-to-operate.

Enhanced ore recoveries

Enhanced ore recovery

With enhanced simulation and optimisation models like OREPro™ Predict, customers can optimise blasts and track ore movement pre and post blast to improve ore recovery.

Real-time_oversize

Real-time oversize detection

Our unique machine learning capability applied to real-time detection accomplished within seconds and alerts syndicated via Fleet Management System (FMS), email, or SMS for re-routing of trucks. Operators can also predetermine customisable oversize limits, enabling a reduction in crusher blockage/damage frequency due to oversized material.

Seamless_integration

Upstream and downstream data flow

User-friendly FMS interface associates the measured PSD data and oversize alerts to the truck identifier, enabling a direct association of fragmentation measurements to each blast. Downstream data integration through Open Protocol Communication (OPC UA) server standard allows real-time streaming of fragmentation data to the site’s Distributed Control Systems (DCS) for alerts and control.

    "BlastIQ has been a great tool that we’ve received this year. It allows me to create a blast, upload the information on there that the engineers and the surveyors will need before they come to site."
