![]() Incorporating the ShapeMetriX system for generating and assessing 3D images, new geological mapping integration allows users to better visualize dips, strikes, seams and voids throughout the drilling pattern. The program is compatible with all major drilling equipment manufacturers. At a quick glance, the software shows the geology and burdens from borehole top to bottom out to the free face. It now allows for import of Measure While Drilling data to map the subsurface geology of the borehole. Updates to the IREDES (International Rock Excavation Data Exchange Standard) interface improves two-way data communication between BlastMetriX UAV and smart drills. By providing enhanced burden and spacing information, the software allows users to adjust explosive amounts in each borehole to account for irregularities. ![]() Semiautomatic mapping of linear rock mass features is imported into the blast plan. The enhanced drill-pattern analysis tool provides heat mapping of drilled borehole deviations for simple visualization of differences between as-planned and as-drilled patterns. The new version, according to the Graz, Austria-based company, improves communication with smart drills, offers face profiling enhancements and delivers more sophisticated drill pattern analysis. A few recent product announcements for improved blast-design software offer opportunities for users to maximize blast efficiency.ģGSM GmbH, for example, recently announced several significant updates to its flagship BlastMetriX UAV software. ![]() Obtaining better blast fragmentation results is a major factor in improving overall comminution performance, and with some recent studies indicating that drilling and blasting combined account for 2% - while crushing and milling use 53% - of total energy input in a typical production scenario, the potential savings gained through better blast design are an attractive objective in the industry’s rush to conserve energy and decarbonize. Now offered in combination with CR Digital’s Thunderbird 1110 drill optimization program, Strayos’ AI platform allows sensor data from Thunderbird to be used in its blast design software to achieve better fragmentation. ![]()
