Summary

Every day, quarries and mining operations capture vast amounts of valuable data—subsurface information, geological maps, blast performance metrics, and more. But how effectively is this data being used? Traditional pen-and-paper logs fall short of unlocking the full potential of your operation.

Enter Geographic Information Systems (GIS)—a cutting-edge solution that connects data to maps, combining real-time and historical information into actionable insights.

Discover how Geospatial Data can help you:

  • Transform Data into Actionable Insights: Learn how Geospatial integrates location data with operational metrics to optimize quarry management.
  • Advanced D&B Planning with GIS: Understand how GIS improves blast design by incorporating geological data, MWD (Measure While Drilling) insights, & environmental factors.
  • Enhancing Safety & Compliance: See how GIS aids in monitoring haul roads, equipment placement, & environmental conditions.
  • Short- & Mid-Term Quarry Planning: Dive into how Geospatial supports strategic planning with geological block models, volume calculations, & ramp designs.
  • Continuous Improvement with AI & GIS: Explore how Strayos integrates AI & machine learning with GIS for post-blast analysis & process refinement.

Meet Your Expert Guide Join Elijah Williams, Senior Solutions Engineer, as he demonstrates how to integrate GIS data into your quarrying, drilling, & blasting workflows. Elijah will reveal how this technology transforms complex datasets into powerful tools for safety, efficiency, & profitability.

What You’ll Gain

  • A roadmap to modernize your operations with Geospatial Data.
  • Insight into real-world applications & success stories.
  • Strategies to save costs and boost productivity by leveraging your data.

Don’t Let Valuable Data Go Unused! In today’s data-driven world, the ability to effectively manage and utilize geographic information is a game-changer.

Questions & Answers

  1. Do you recommend maintaining the same flight elevations?

Yes, for consistency in results, it is best to establish a flight plan that can be repeated.

2. What tool/ technique do you use to track back post-blast muck to in-situ drillholes?

Strayos’ post blast tools can overlay in-situ boreholes for analysis of movement, fragmentation and backbreak.

3. What opportunities are there to incorporate enterprise GIS services into Strayos, and what opportunities are there to automate Strayos data into an existing enterprise GIS?

Strayos has integrated APIs that can be used for GIS integrations. Reach out to our team for more details.

4. Do you recommend using zoom to do muck pile fragmentation?

Zoom is not recommended. Capture images with the cameras standard frame.
