digital transformation The State of Digitalization in the Drill & Blast Industries - Webinar Summary The drilling and blasting industry is on the verge of unprecedented transformation. New developments in technology have provided all the building blocks for more automated and self-optimizing operations. Now, the biggest challenge is putting them all together.
drilling Webinar Summary- Optimizing Fragmentation Using Measure While Drilling and 3D Analytics Data Traditionally, drilling data has been difficult to capture and combine with blast design information. Now, new technologies like 3D image analysis and Measure While Drilling(MWD) data allow blasters and site managers to "see" inside the bench in ways never before possible.
ai What the Muck? Using Drones and Artificial Intelligence is making post-blast analysis faster, easier, and more accessible than ever.
data Automated Blast Hole Volume Analysis A more accurate shot volume calculation that allows users to optimize shot designs to achieve more even powder factor across the bench.
data How Drone Data is Empowering Boretracking Operations Traditionally, the logistical challenges of boretraking have made it impractical for many companies to implement across all of their sites. Maine Drilling & Blasting has leveraged drone data and Strayos' AI to overcome these challenges and expand their bore-tracking program.
data 4 Ways Your Data Protects You When things go wrong, and they will, you need to be able to show that you did everything you could to prevent the disaster- otherwise its your assets on the line. Data is your insurance policy.
computer vision Finding the Seam: Auto Detecting Geology with Drones to Optimize Blasting Bench geology is easier than ever to add to your blast design. With automated detection and modeling you can optimize your blast. Prevent ore loss, reduce dilution, avoid flyrock, and more.
blasting Connecting the Solutions- Mining & Quarrying Companies Need an AI Powered Dashboard Data silos are a well known obstacle for the quarrying industry. Ravi Sahu and Kevin Vonesh have an answer- an AI powered Solutions Dashboard.
3D model TLDR- AI's Explosive Impact in Drill and Blast Mining Magazine EMEA editor Craig Gutherie spoke with Strayos CEO Ravi Sahu about the need for AI to assist drillers and blasters with creating the best shot possible.
customer story Accuracy When it Matters Most Maurer & Scott's Zach Tobias shares 3 stories of how drones and Strayos helped him pull off tricky shots that could have gone horribly wrong- but thankfully didn't.
customer story Customer Spotlight Maurer & Scott In 2017 many companies offered drone 3D photogrammetry solutions. Zach Tobias had to find the best. What he found in Strayos blew his mind.
photogrammetry How Maurer & Scott Helped their Client Prevent a Fly Rock Disaster using Strayos Maurer & Scott's Technical Specialist Zach Tobias shares the story of how using drones with Strayos'3D Blast Profiling tools they were able to help their client avoid a fly rock disaster.
drone surveying How Maurer & Scott Increased Production 10x for Their Client By incorporating drones and Strayos into our workflow, we were able to increase production at this quarry 10x.
drones Drones, Drills, & Data Three technologies enabling massive improvements in drilling are Drones, AI, and smart drills. Used individually, they give a huge advantage, but when combined, they allow the modern driller to accomplish a level of insights never before seen.

artificial intelligence Making Depleted Deposits Profitable by Increasing Extraction Efficiency Better extraction methods create better yields. As ore deposits become increasingly depleted and of lower quality, mines must become more efficient at accessing the remaining ore in order to maintain profitability while keeping commodity costs low enough to feed demand.
