Measurements While Drilling (MWD)- This epic data source gives production teams a fighting chance against their ever-changing lithology. It provides advanced orebody knowledge of your current bench and predicts the hardness of the next bench. We innovatively process MWD after drilling but deliver insights before loading explosives. One data source, three improvements: blasting, excavating, and crushing.

Advancing orebody knowledge right before blasting, like measuring the bench's hardness from blast hole drill data, is crucial to optimizing downstream operations like excavating and crushing. We calculate blastability, digability, and crushability from production blast hole data. After your Sandvik....

Join Steven Putt on May 5th for a virtual presentation with CIM - Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. Learn how to minimize production meeting prep work with a better way to handle data. "Data Structure" is not a fancy buzzword like "Machine Learning," but it's crucial to achieving larger digitization goals. Steven will walk attendees through a data structure to automate the reconciliation of production plans with actual performance.

Digital transformation partners do not offer their services in a vacuum. Here is an example of how we work with Trevali Mining Corporation's ecosystem. Their CTO, Derek du Preez states, "Our ecosystem of partners play a valuable role. Business partnership is a two-way street and should be mutually beneficial. We expect our ecosystem to work well together so that we are all part of one team that works towards the same goals. Some of our ecosystem partners currently are MineRP, Deloitte, Microsoft, BDO, DataCloud, Dwyka Mining Services and Epiroc ."

We are incredibly proud of our clients' digital transformation success this year. They pivoted to new ways of continuing their progress under the latest safety protocols in a Covid-19 world. Check out our latest blog to read about two success stories from this year and how we used a hybrid approach to ensure their digital transformation path was not interrupted.

The lockdowns were incredibly stressful for many, including our clients in the middle of digital transformation pushes. They still needed to meet their production goals and monitor their site remotely. We were ready to help them meet those goals and keep production planning on track.

How do we make mine to mill tracking more accessible and more useful for production? We connect, analyze, and run ML algorithms on your data from each stage. This builds clarity of what happened between drilling and processing and offers your team context on why the rock behaved that way. Now teams know exactly what is headed their way with enough time to react and what the best plan of action is to move forward. Steven Putt's stockpile-focused webinar is up and open to the public thanks to CIM - Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum new online Academy!
