Blast better for greener results – BME
Not only do poor blasting practices erode mines’ financial bottom lines – they are also bad for the environment, according the BME technical director Tony Rorke.
A mobile device for hole and deck data capturing
Integrates with BME’s Blastmap blast design software for blast designers to seamlessly export blast design files to Xplolog for hole and deck data capturing.
Blast plans can be accessed on-site via the Xplolog Data Logger. Actual blast information captured by the device can then be compared with planned values for you to make informed decisions, based on accurate information collected from your blasts.
Data collected on-site through the Logger device can be used with BME’s Blastmap blast simulation and prediction modules, to analyze and improve blast outcomes based on accurate data.
Benefits:
For data analysis and custom reporting.
BME’s reporting dashboard makes use of a secure cloud hosted database for Senior Management to view data and reports in real-time from anywhere, anytime.
Hole and deck data captured by the Xplolog Data Logger is accessible in real time on the Reporting Dashboard website.
The dashboard allows your team to pro-actively monitor, react, identify and rectify issues in the field – if and when they occur.

Not only do poor blasting practices erode mines’ financial bottom lines – they are also bad for the environment, according the BME technical director Tony Rorke.
The revolutionary transition from non-electric to electronic delay detonators (EDDs) in the field of blasting has brought many benefits to mining productivity, but there are still plenty of advantages to be gained by blast pioneers who are prepared to think ‘outside the box’.
The powerful combination of mobile computing and ‘cloud’ data storage is starting to transform safety and productivity on mines that embrace technology, according to BME senior software developer Nicky Klacar.
