DRILL & BLAST DIGITAL DEPTH O
rica Digital Solutions’ BlastIQ Underground technology could help improve underground
blasting performance through advanced digital solutions. BlastIQ Underground off ers a
comprehensive suite of integrated technologies, facilitating quality control and enhanced drill and blast productivity throughout the blasting process. From planning to post-blast analysis, the solution provides user- friendly reporting, analytics, and information management. The technology optimises
blast productivity by digitally communicating blast designs, enabling the re-application of charging
in drilling and charging operations. Rajkumar Mathiravedu, vice
CHARGES Expanding digital capability with underground blast performance technology
president of Orica Digital Solutions, emphasises the company’s commitment to digital transformation, stating: “Our software ensures that every blast is executed precisely, achieving desired outcomes and translating into signifi cant cost savings and improved resource utilisation for our customers.” BlastIQ Underground streamlines
BlastIQ Underground provides improved underground drill and blast productivity for superior blast outcome
designs in response to hole locations, according to its developers. The digital collection and management of drilling data helps engineers to identify continuous improvement opportunities
workfl ows, reduces operational costs, and provides a competitive edge to users, the company says. As the mining industry faces challenges in accessing orebodies, the technology off ers data analytics capabilities, providing insights into performance metrics and blast outcomes. Moreover, BlastIQ Underground
has the potential to contribute to reducing the environmental footprint of mining operations by minimising ground vibrations, air overpressure, and the overall environmental impact of blasting activities.
