- 8. BlastInformationManagement System(BIMS) In order to overcome all the drawbacks of un-digitized data collection, MineExcellence came up with BIMS. Blast Information Management System (BIMS) provides information to meet the strategic and operational needs for planning, controlling and decision making for optimizing mining operations. Some of the key features of BIMS incudes – • Logical storage of blast data • Import and export charging sheet • Generates Blast Plan • Generates customized reports • Advanced searching of blasts • Data Analytics • Sync with blast designer and mobile app. • Integration with Google map and Digital Maps These features are explained in detail in the following slides
- 9. BIMS (Blast Information Management System) ➢What does platform do :It can be use for planning, controlling and decision-making for optimizing mining operations. It provides the capability to store, manage, retrieve and analyze mine and blast related information. Stores blast details, blast parameters, blast patterns, face profiles, explosive consumption, charging details and all measurements like vibration records, photo and video. Business Benefits : ➢Data Capture: Systematic storage, retrieval and analysis of data. Currently blasting related information is in excels sheets at many mines and does not help in actual analysis. ➢Productivity Gains: Proper analysis will result in significant productivity gains in the overall Mine to Mill Operation. ➢Improved Blasting: Via this software, Blasting personnel can control critical parameters such as dilution, vibration, fragmentation, fly rock and fines generation – You are capturing actuals results. ➢Cost Optimization: It can be used in everything cost analysis of blasting, if required. It is possible to capture explosive and manpower and associated costs during blasting to report and analyze later on. ➢Better Reporting: Report generation for individual blast, monthly explosive consumption, stock, manpower, accident and misfire reports etc. ➢Analysis: Ability to search blasts between dates, by performance of explosives or initiating system, by vibration limits, by fragmentation size, by location of blasting zone or accident, etc. Our Platform makes past blasting readily data in a logical format and blasting data analysis tools to design and improve future blasts. ➢ It is also possible to see all your past blasts on a map at your mine site (provided data is available). ➢Personalization: Ability to create client specific reports or analytics
- 10. Integration from any blast design softwareIt generates the blast plan as per the charging sheet. Blast plan can be imported by providing coordinates in excel and export of blast plan is available. Blast Design can be imported from multiple softwares
- 11. About 40 Custom Reports Already available Following reports can be generated from BIMS – for a particular date range, quarterly, monthly or annually. Blast Details & Result Can be sorted by • Blast Wise • Date Wise • Total Cost • Material Produced • Material Cost Wise Blast Vibration Can be sorted by • Blast Wise • Date Wise • PPV Wise Explosive & Initiator Consumption Can be sorted by • Blast Wise • Date Wise • Total Explosive Consumption Report • Total Accessories Consumption Report • Explosive Management Report Other Reports • Daily Production • Advanced Report • Accident & Misfires *Reports can be customized as per required.
- 12. Advanced Searching /Analysis It is very easy to search for blasts with our advanced searching techniques Search By • Date Range • Explosive Used • Zone/Face where blast was conducted • Blasts whose vibration limits falls under the mentioned limits. • Blasts which fulfilled the given performance criteria • By source – designed in designer or app and then synced in BIMS.
- 13. Data Analytics Different Data Analytics can be generated based on the records entered in BIMS. Analytics includes - • Average Blasting Cost • Blast Cost per Ton • Explosive Consumption/Powder Factor • Burden, Spacing & Stemming • Ground & Air Vibration • Flyrock • Total Production/Number of holes blasted. • Production per meter/Total meters blasted • Specific Charge • Specific Drilling • Total blasting costs *Analytics can be customized as per required.
- 14. BlastManagementPortal–Seedataforallsitesfromoneplace What does this do : Mine Management or Explosive company can monitor explosive details / charring records. Records / blast records uploaded by different mines of their organization and generate their graphs and reports to do comparative analysis based on key factors such as powder factor, output produced etc. Business Benefits : View Blast Records ➢Reports ➢Analytic graphs : ➢Manage users ➢Comparative Analysis ➢Faster decision making
