BlastLogic

Maptek BlastMCF revolutionises blast design for surface operations, generating scenarios that consider competing objectives while engineers retain fine control.

Maptek Vulcan and BlastLogic systems are being used effectively in Mongolia to streamline planning and optimise blasting operations.

A coal mine in Queensland uses dynamic dashboards to display the latest drill and blast information to better inform planning, designs and scheduling.

Digitalisation has changed the way drill and blast is perceived at one of Africa’s largest coal mines, leading to better recovery and improved safety.

Follow the daily workflow of a typical drill and blast crew as they use BlastLogic software to manage and track their blasting operation. Integrating all tasks and processes, and visualising these in 3D, provides the platform for optimising blast performance.

Proper tracking and handling of explosives is crucial to mine safety and efficiency, and going digital is key to ensuring operational improvement.

Maptek BlastLogic provides a workflow that allows operations to recalculate charge rules based on pit conditions.

Implementing Maptek BlastLogic at a gold mine has improved day-to-day operations and provided greater business intelligence for future mining excellence.

Collaboration between Maptek and Sasol is improving drill & blast workflow and outcomes through better validation of field data.

Maptek BlastLogic enables improved design compliance monitoring and downstream productivity optimisation across Anglo American’s open pit operations.

Automatic calculation and update of charge rules based on specified site blast outcomes optimises material confinement and ensures best practice.

Getting the blast right can have a positive effect for other processes. BlastLogic provides the key to managing and improving drill & blast operations, ensuring digging rates, load efficiency, safety, crusher performance and ore recovery are optimised.

Maptek BlastLogic provides advanced reporting around drill and blast, allowing operations to benchmark the process for identifying and realising areas for improvement.

Implementing BlastLogic has enabled a large South American copper mine to realise a 60% increase in efficiency in key processes.

BlastLogic blast analytics assess the impact of various blast plans, helping identify trends to guide production improvements and reduce [operational] risk.

BlastLogic allows mining engineers to optimise blast performance while keeping within recommended vibration limits.

BlastLogic provides easy access to GPS drilling data as well as the tools for integration into your drill and blast process for continual improvement.

BlastLogic manages all site historical drill and blast data, allowing a focus on resolution and improvement following incidents.

BlastLogic targets productivity at surface mines by delivering immediate access to all operational drill and blast data for analysis. Wesfarmers Curragh Mine introduced BlastLogic in 2012 with a smooth transition to electronic data entry and managed blast monitoring.

Productivity and cost challenges in the mining industry require innovative changes across every area of operational activity and technology. BlastLogic provides operations with a strategic tool for drill and blast.
