The document discusses various applications of drone data and MineExcellence's drone platform for mining operations. Some key applications mentioned include blast design and optimization, drilling and MWD data collection and analysis, blast information management, fragmentation analysis, and utilities like volumetric analysis. The platform allows import of various file formats from drone surveys and integration of drilling and blast data to optimize blast design and assess variances. Case studies demonstrate benefits like faster data processing, improved recovery and accuracy, and potential cost savings from reducing overdrilling.

6. How dataisimported –Listofsupported fileformats
Below image shows the list of file formats that can be imported in our drone platform. These files once uploaded, gets
processed in our system to render a 3D view which is very similar to your mine site. There are more then 20 formats
that are supported.

7. BlastDesign &Optimization
This module is used to design the blast. It helps to predict the blast results, compare different designs and optimize the
design for desired outputs. (Please check screenshots in appendix)

9. Drilling &MWD
Ability to import drill
logs including actual
drill parameters, hole
coordinates, drill logs
etc. this includes taking
data directly from
smart drill rigs and high
precision drill
navigation systems.
It helps to analyze the
quality check the
drilling process,
generate drill analytics,
plan energy distribution
as per drill logs,
variance analysis etc.

10. BlastInformation Management
Similar to drilling module, blast information management module helps to keep record of actual blast parameters like actual
charging, timing, blast results, environmental factors, blast history etc.

28. Reduction inOverDrilling
Problem :
The customer was having
uneven floor issues after
blasting. On identifying the
root cause it was found that
this was due to additional
drilling of average 4 feet .
Solution :
Detecting floor elevation
issues and drill depth and
setting best practices for floor
control.
