Blast design with QuarryX

Even without in-depth PC knowledge, you can easily start working:

Our in-house-developed and award-winning QuarryX software is primarily designed for intuitive usability and the automation of work steps. The experiences and suggestions of our customers had a huge impact on the development.

This user-friendly software with a clearly structured user interface in twelve languages can process manufacturer-independent 3D rock face, hole deviation and GNSS survey data from all common systems on the market.

From project-related master data management, through blast planning to ignition and explosives design: QuarryX has numerous tools to support the shotfirer in his daily work.

Enhance drilling parameters such as angle, depth, direction and subdrill in real time. Let QuarryX automatically optimize the hole geometry to the conditions of the rock face! Detect critical burden values along the entire rock face and eliminate unsafe areas! Export and upload IREDES data to any GNSS drill rig system!

With the QuarryDetonator and QuarryDetonator Pro modules of the QuarryX software, we provide you with the ideal tool:

regularly updated database with all common explosives and detonators; simply select (used) detonators and assign them to the boreholes (single and multiple shared charging columns as well as predefined charging schemes possible); Insert surface delay detonators between drill holes with a mouse click; automatic calculation of ignition time for each detonator; digital simulation of the ignition system including checking for overlaps at user-defined time intervals; Exact calculation of explosive amounts for each drill hole.

Optimize security: After planning the explosives, you can easily carry out a check of the amount of explosives per time step and informed yourself of areas with too high or too low local specific charge. Furthermore, the software offers the possibility of a vibration prediction with regression analysis. In this way, previous blasting and vibration measurements are included in to obtain even more precise predictions. Also integrated into the software is a calculation option for the expected fragmentation of the pile. With convenient documentation options, output of complete cost overviews of the blasting including drilling, explosives and other costs, also allocated to tons or cubic meters of material.

Your quarry in 3D:

Our software QuarryManager is your versatile and user-friendly tool to support (in) your daily work and the ideal basis for short and medium-term mine design! Easily import QuarryX projects into the 3D model and update your digital plan with the current course of the quarry face. Additional interfaces enable the import of models and data from laser scanners, GNSS systems, drone flights or other CAD programs: digitize changes in the quarry on the screen and include them in the plans; you will receive precise information on mined or existing volumes in an uncomplicated manner.

With the VolumeX expansion module, you can determine the volumes of your stockpiles and pits with the utmost precision – using GNSS, UAV or laser survey data. Easily generate 3D models and perform accurate volume determinations at little cost.

QuarryX Connect

With the introduction of our in-house cloud solution, all steps and those involved in the quarry are now networked: No more USB sticks, no more paper drilling plans - with QuarryX Connect you send the drilling plan wirelessly directly to the drilling rig! The write-back of the holes actually drilled and additional information such as drilling speed or geological information are also transmitted. For all drill rigs that do not support a digital drill plan, we offer a special app for the driller that also supports real-time data transmission. Drilling and blasting are thus even more closely interlinked in order to enable seamless data transmission and data analysis. A more extensive commercial evaluation of the drilling and blasting work (KPIs, such as costs/ton, drilling meters/ton) is simplified by the central data storage and synchronization of the data in QuarryX Connect.

3D laser scanner:

This robust and easily deployable system consists of a rugged outdoor PC with our specially developed measurement software and a 3D laser. A user defined area of the rock face is scanned fully automatically and the data obtained is stored. A real-time 3D model allows the measurement to be checked immediately in the field for quality and consistency. The measurement process usually takes no longer than 10 minutes for a typcial blast and delivers repeatable, highly accurate results. Therefore the measurement can be integrated easily without large expenditure of time.
