Optimization of surface blasting based on 3D models from drone imagery and a closed loop that starts with an automatic analysis of the geometry and the geological conditions and ends with an objective assessment of the blast result.
This paper highlights the opportunities provided by integrating MWD data and drone generated 3D model to industries that use explosive energy to perform useful work as an integral part of their rock extraction process.
Presents outline of flyrock model and a field procedure to validate predictions of maximum projection distance. Field results are presented from 13 field tests with two different hole diameters.
This paper discusses the use of the Orica WildFireTM flyrock model to help mining operations in Australia and Asia minimise blast exclusion zones for equipment, increasing utilisation and productivity and delivering downstream value
New technology to automatically design a blast based on autonomous drone. The process of flying a drone, calculating the 3D cloud of points, generating the critical face profiles and placing holes automatically according to burden specification becomes fully automatic. A nice time saving with more efficiency
