Drill/Blast Software Adds Cost-cutting Tools
Maptek says the latest release of its
BlastLogic drill and blast accuracy management
system can help to reduce costs
for mining operations. BlastLogic Version
2.0 adds tie up tools, blast modeling and
inventory management. With tie up tools,
users can quickly create and compare
multiple design scenarios. BlastLogic 2.0
directly targets fragmentation, vibration
and overpressure issues, providing blast
modeling previews to help determine if
the design will produce the desired outcome.
Inventory management is linked to
blast results; a site catalogue tracks and
reconciles explosives received, dispatched
and used. BlastLogic supports
blast-by-blast analytics, allowing comparison
of blasts across the mine to correlate
design, execution and results. The performance
can be analyzed to ensure that
every aspect of the drill and blast process
is fine-tuned to reduce costs in downstream
processing and continuously
improve overall mine productivity, according
to Maptek.
