BLASTEVERY

Counts

The ProVision® Drill System for blast-hole production drills delivers comprehensive drill monitoring and high-precision global navigation satellite system (HP-GNSS)-based positioning. This system can dramatically improve blast-hole drill rig efficiency, utilization, hole position and depth, and compliance with final blast design goals.

Comprehensive drill monitoring and high precision positioning

improve equipment performance and operator efficiency.

Drill and blast engineers utilize drill performance and hole attribute information collected by the ProVision system to confirm as-drilled accuracy and make any required adjustments to blast loading design. The ProVision system’s integration with mine planning applications provides the drill operator with current blast designs to improve drill and blast management.

Improved drill performance and reduced survey activityThe ProVision Drill system uses HP-GNSS information from the blast design and an on-board mobile display to show operators the precise drill pattern based on the current blast plan. This allows operators to verify that they are drilling according to plan and to move from hole to hole without the need for physical placement of stakes.Advanced HP-GNSS receivers capable of tracking multiple satellite constellations increase system availability near steep highwalls as compared with non-augmented systems. Higher system availability results in improved drill accuracy and increased operator efficiency and productivity.

Ability to drill in inclement weather or darknessBased on the position of the drill’s bit, the system sends the current blast plan to the operator’s mobile device. With the ProVision Drill system, the operator relies on an up-to-date graphical display of the plan for positioning. Since no physical stakes are needed, operators are able to continue working in poor visibility due to weather or darkness. This reduces survey costs and rework, and improves drilling per the plan, facilitating better blast execution.

Drastic reduction of over-, under-, and re-drilling eventsThe ProVision Drill system records drill performance, including actual hole coordinates and depths. In addition, the system adjusts hole depths based on actual elevation-to-target depths, virtually eliminating over-, under-, and re-drilling.The resulting improvement in bench grades reduces costs associated with drill consumables, rework, and dozer bench leveling activities. Additionally, users can adjust the blast plan according to the actual hole position, which improves blast performance.

Real-time status displayAn equipment monitoring dashboard enables comprehensive observation and supervision from the ProVision System desktop application. Both the mobile device screen and office application display real-time status information by color coding drilled holes according to set drilling parameters. The system also guides the drill operator to navigate to the nearest hole, minimizing tramming time to the next destination in the drill pattern.The mobile device can also display hazards such as underground workings, misfired holes, and mining boundaries. This capability provides beneficial safety and production information to operators, as well as reduced infrastructure damage, rework, and cost.

Extensive equipment drill and operator performance monitoring and reporting capabilitiesThe mobile device displays and records all pertinent drill information, including:• Penetration rate • Pattern and hole IDs • Desired depth• Hole depth • Bit depth • Hole coordinatesAll information appears on a single screen to improve operator efficiency.The system includes an embedded key performance indicator (KPI) screen that tracks the following real-time statistics of drill and operator performance:• Average min per hole • Average penetration rate • Drill utilization• Holes drilled per hour • Average movement per holeThe IntelliMine® central computer records all system information for full-feature reporting, continuous improvement initiatives, and reduced support costs. Additionally, users can graphically display historical data to show hole information and operator performance.Use of standard file formats and open architecture enable integration with mine planning applications, maintenance management systems (such as MineCare®), and fleet management systems (such as DISPATCH®).
