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.
drone surveying A New Workflow to Increase Drilling Accuracy Using PPK Drones and GPS Smart Drills - Webinar Summary Designing and implementing a precise drill plan is critical for achieving an optimal blast outcome. In recent years, GPS Navigation Drills have enabled pinpoint accuracy for drilling operations. However, the major blocker for
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 Smarter Drilling: 3 Tools Empowering Drilling & Blasting Knowing the geology of the bench and the true locations of the as drilled holes allow drillers to optimize their drilling performance and allow blasters to achieve better fragmentation, better ore body control, control for fly-rock, vibration and back break and get their best blast ever.
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.
