- 14. 14 Predictors Fragmentation Predictor : Helps to predict average Fragment size and Explosive Energy Blast Clearance Estimator : Predicts safe clearance distances and the critical range of burdens and stemming heights Air & Ground Vibration Predictor : Produces decibel contour plans which can be overlain over aerial photographs, maps, or plans. Blast Reinforcement and Simulation : Used to Simulate a complete blast based on patterns and delays used.
- 17. 17 Blast Analytics Platform and Management Portal This portal allows Mine Management to monitor blast records uploaded by different mines of their organization and generate their graphs and reports to do comparative analysis based on key factors. Search: Between dates, by performance of explosives or initiating system, by vibration limits, by fragmentation size, by location of blasting zone or accident, etc. Reports : Blast wise or custom date wise like blast details and results like fragmentation ,overall cost etc., blast vibration report, explosive and initiator consumption report, daily production report etc, Analytic graphs : Some Examples - Production vs. operational cost, total explosive consumption vs. powder factor, blast performance, burden & spacing vs. operational cost. Historical Analysis Trend Analysis Cost Analysis Optimization Faster Decision Making QA/QC Key Features & Business Benefits
- 18. 18 Predicted vs. Actuals This portal analyses the variation between the predicted values versus the actual blast parameters obtained from our BIMS and BLADES. Key Features & Business Benefits Variance Analysis Verify appropriateness of Drill and Blast Plans 3D Visualization Cost and Material Analysis due to variation Better Planning of future blasts and budget control

- 25. MineExcellenceDronePlatform MineExcellence provide a web based drone data analysis platform that enables you to get more from your drone data. MineExcellence Drone Platform provides 2D/3D visualization with various tools helping in scoping, assessment, planning, surveying, design and inspection which would be very useful to the mining industry.
- 26. WhereMineExcellenceDronePlatformcanhelp S.No. Drone Module Business Benefits 1 Measurement Tools Any specific distance, area , volume, angle, height can be calculated in a mine using a drone 3D image. 2 Slope Analysis The slopes can be shown as per the angles in specific colors to get a better understanding for planning of mines. 3 Contour Mapping Contours can be marked throughout the mines at any specific unit. From 10m to 0.1m to any other unit, contour lines can be generated for a depth analysis. 4 Boundaries The boundaries can be generated to view the breakpoints more easily to plan its recovery. 5 Hydrology Drainage and water management •Watershed, drainage basin & water flow mapping •Tailings dam management 6 Stock Pile Calculations Calculate accurate stock volumes in much lesser time compared to other traditional methods 7 Pre Blast Assessment /Burden Analysis Design drill patterns, calculate burden analysis, apply blasting parameters, and tie in the shot. 8 Post Blast Assessment Analysis of post blast factors like Fragmentation , Flyrock etc. 9 Digital Mine Mapping Create a digital map of the mine site , defining routs , mine zones , infrastructure etc. 10 Blast Video in Slow Motion Resolution The video data can be used to analyze the firing order, as well as detect imperfections in the detonation. 11 Haul road analytics overlaid The load and haul process in mining is improved through aerial surveying techniques. Applications include: 1. Measuring volumes excavated at the shovel /excavator face 2. Monitoring bench elevations 3. Creating digital terrain models of haul road networks. 12 Environmental By acquiring regular aerial survey data the mining operation can ensure environmental compliance to local regulations. Land use can be monitored and any encroachment on company property quickly detected. 13 Mine Growth Mapping Volume Difference of an Area Surveyed over different Time Periods
