Drill & Blast Focused
Design environment focused on the drill and blast workflow. Manage your operation with DataBlast’s multiple data input capabilities, designed to speed up data management.
Increase Efficiency
Dramatically increase operational efficiency by consolidating drill and blast data. Easily generate re-drill holes based on latest data, print customised plans and checklists.
Easily Capture Data
A fully integrated tablet application, BlastPad allows for easy capture of QAQC and Charging data.
Automatic Synchronisation
Charge requirements are automatically updated with drill and QA/QC data, providing incredible levels of accuracy for charging designs.
DataBlast
Open Pit Drill & Blast Solution
DataBlast is a multi-user system covering the entire open pit drill and blast process from design to in-field operations. Electronically transfer data, respond to changes in real-time, and generate reconciliation reports. Identify trends and improve blasting performance over time. Effectively design and implement your blasting plans to achieve consistent high-quality results every time. For an in-depth software demo, please contact your local Datamine Office.
Design Module
01Ensure Control & Safety
Safety is critical on site. DataBlast offers key features for design validations including Burden Check calculations providing automatic face burden distance calculations, that allow for quick and easy design modifications.
02Intuitive User Interface
You will be able to easily adopt the system as its intuitive tool-sets are designed specifically by Drill and Blast Engineers, for Drill and Blast Engineers. The design module features specific CAD tools and automatic hole projections to help you spend a lot less time designing, and more time optimising.
03Halve Your design time
Simple pre-design environment allows for the quick release of progressive drill patterns. DataBlast empowers you to cut down on design time by creating master design files for entire benches and allows progressive releases as survey data or planning schedules become available.
04Take Control Of Your Data
DataBlast lets you take proper control of your data and tools, allowing for easy, flexible data management when exporting critical data. In the design module, all Excel, Word and PDF approved checklists are housed centrally in a simple tree navigation system.
Drill Module
01Integrated Data
DataBlast streams data straight from your Drill Navigation System, letting you see real-time information a lot more visually as compared to your original design.
02Seamless Data Flow
Because DataBlast is an end-to-end solution, drilling data can be fed seamlessly into other modules for accurate and easy-to-use data. You’ll also be able to quickly generate detailed conformance reports for fast accountability.
03Operational Efficiency
Operational efficiencies are dramatically increased by automatically generating re-drill holes based on updated data.
04Flexible Data Entry
Drillhole log data can be collected electronically using BlastPad for added flexibility when not using Drill Navigation Systems.
Measure Module
01Save Hours Per Day
Eliminate the need for manual data entry by using BlastPad – DataBlast’s powerful and integrated app for QA/QC capture.
02Integrated Tablet Solution
Automatically sync data over wireless networks. Full visibility of field data in the office with no effort required.
03Get On The Same Page
DataBlast manages all your QA/QC data in one place. Generate blast hole conformance reports to drive operational improvements.
04Adapts To Your Processes
DataBlast also caters to your existing processes by allowing multiple entry points for your QA/QC data.
Charge Module
01Choose From The Standards
Create charging requirements with greater speed, flexibility and intuition with DataBlast. Multiple Charging Standards are easily created and maintained without the need to write complex scripts, giving you a huge library to choose from.
02Automatic Synchronising
With DataBlast, your charge requirements are automatically updated as your system is updated with Drill and Measure data, providing incredible levels of accuracy for charging designs as well as saving the engineers' valuable time.
03Live Updates From The Field
Bring your charging operations into the digital age – with BlastPad you’ll be able to update and sync charging requirements via tablets on the field.
04Easy Data Capture
BlastPad also allows for the easy capture of charging data which can be quickly generated into reports. Tailor-made charge sheets can also be created to suit the needs of your site.
Initiation Module
01Work With Up-To-Date Designs
Eliminate time wasted transforming and uploading data into 3rd party initiation design suites. With the seamless flow of drill and blast data, you can be confident that you’re using the most accurate and up-to-date information when creating initiation designs.
02Relevant Designs
Design Initiation sequences using accurate product selection with DataBlast’s product database bespoke to each site.
03Custom Templates
Bespoke map and report templates allow for the accurate display of initiation designs. Auto summaries of required accessories with the click of a button.
04Easy Integration
DataBlast provides support for a variety of Non-Electric and Electronic Detonation systems. Directly transfer designs to timing units such as Davey Bickford systems or Dyno Nobel systems.
Reporting & Analytics Module
01Professional Interpretation
Datamine also offers professional assistance to help interpret your data, so mine sites can create meaningful KPI’s and metrics that help you get the most out of your drill and blast operation.
02Invaluable Insights
The DataBlast system performs in-depth analysis on your site’s drill and blast data, offering users unique insights on the performance of the operation.
03Save Time Aggregating Data
Unlock insights that were previously unreadable with conventional drill and blast systems. Engineers will save considerable time aggregating data for reporting purposes. Users can set KPI’s straight from DataBlast’s reporting database.
