Digital Technologies
Through offering the latest digital technology we assist customers to continuously improve their blasting processes and outcomes.
Blast Hub
This software system is a receiving and launching platform for both it’s own suite of predictive software and links to enable data mining, interrogation and application of methodology.
This predicts and automates the analysis of data pertaining to improved blast outcomes, to improve stripping rates, waste overburden and to improve recovery of minerals. Predictive Software looks at the mining operation holistically to ensure that the benefits are derived from improved efficiencies in equipment, plant and beneficiation. This is supported by our sophisticated blasting software:
DESIGNER
A Predictive tool to compare possible blast outcomes in terms of fragmentation (Kuz-
Ram), blast damage and muck pile profile (Heave) to find the most appropriate solution for
challenging rock conditions.
TUNNEL
Software to assist with the design and optimisation of tunnel and shaft layouts in mining and civil applications with additional focus on cost evaluation of designs.
RING
Software to assist with the design, basic timing and optimisation of stope ring layouts in
massive mining operations with additional focus on cost evaluation of designs.
TIE-UP
Blast timing design for electronic and pyrotechnic initiating systems, analysis of timing
sequence, direction of movement, statistical evaluation of time variances and 3D simulation of
designed times.
BLAST iTABLET
Enables the acquisition of real time information pertaining to blasting parameters, i.e.:
condition of blast-hole, type of explosive loaded, quantity of explosives loaded, etc. This
information is stored in a cloud data base for future analysis, comparison and fine tuning of
blast inputs and results. A strong focus on geological domain information.
