Better Explosives Management Through Digital Transformation Driving rapid digital transformation in the mining industry with solutions that bring data insights from the pit to desk The Problem: Operators on the bench do not have easy access to information regarding the state of a hole or the quantity and type of explosives that have to be delivered to each hole on a blast pattern. Holes are filed to stemming height, ignoring cracks, voids, long/short drilling, etc, and not the actual design weight. There is minimal data available for analysis about what in reality happened on the bench, before or after blasting. The data that exists is often incomplete and difficult to analyze What we do: Electronically record actual real-time survey (as drilled hole/water depth, differential GPS position, and photos), priming (boosters/detonators installed), and charge (explosives loaded) data on the bench as it happens Provide operators on the bench with accurate per-hole charge information Real-time web-based reporting and monitoring of what is happening on the bench, from anywhere in the world Exceptions management (driver speeding, overloading, hole conditions, etc.) Real-time exception notifications Data exports to 3rd party systems Value: Accurate blast information prior to the blast Data-driven decision making Continuous improvement Manage exceptions as they happen Ability to track and monitor over/under loading of holes Determine the actual cost of a blast Post blast investigation tool Safety review for overloaded holes prior to blasting Internal audit tool for invoicing and reconciliation Explosive, booster, and detonator reconciliation Reduce explosives cost and CO2 emissions Manage truck utilization Automated blast reports
