EXCELLENCE IN IIOT APPLICATION

BLASTIQ UNDERGROUND IS HELPING TO REVOLUTIONISE DRILL AND BLAST OPERATIONS IN THE MINING INDUSTRY.

- 

The mining industry is increasingly reliant on the latest innovations surrounding Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) to optimise operations, streamline workflows, and achieve greater productivity.

In recognition of this vital field, the 2024 Australian Mining Prospect Awards celebrated a key player in the industry through the Excellence in IIoT Application award.

Orica Digital Solutions was the worthy winner of the 2024 award for its BlastIQ Underground application.

This innovative application provides underground mining operations with comprehensive tools to efficiently manage the entire blasting process, from planning to post-blast analysis.

BlastIQ Underground is designed to give mining operators real-time feedback on blast design and execution.

Through its integration of drilling data, digital blast design, and postblast performance analysis, the application empowers engineers to make data-driven decisions that improve operational efficiency.

The software also helps reduce environmental impacts by minimising ground vibrations and air overpressure during blasting activities, making it a crucial tool for mines that prioritise sustainable practices.
