Drilling & Blasting Operations / Blasthole Analysis
Blastdog (IMDEX): AI-Powered Blast-Hole Logging
BLASTDOG is IMDEX's semi-autonomous multi-sensor probe that logs production blast holes and returns ML-interpreted rock-property data within minutes.
Design of Hydrogeologic Monitoring System
Design hydrogeologic monitoring around a wireless telemetry platform like Worldsensing or RST Instruments so AI anomaly detection can run on the data later.
Frag TRACK
AI fragmentation analysis with Orica FRAGTrack stereo cameras sizes post-blast rock automatically, with WipFrag and Split-Desktop as alternatives.
Ground Water Model
Build your groundwater model in MODFLOW 6 or FEFLOW, then use PyHydroGeophysX to test it against resistivity and EM data through pyGIMLi or SimPEG.
Hydrological Modeling
Make hydrological modeling AI-ready: script MODFLOW 6 in FloPy instead of a GUI, so the same pipeline can feed ML calibration and prediction workflows.
Monitoring during mining
Slope stability monitoring during mining: link piezometers, inclinometers and crackmeters to a platform like Worldsensing so AI flags abnormal trends.
Real-Time Ore Grade Sensing at the Shovel
Shovel grade sensing with MineSense ShovelSense: XRF sensors on the bucket feed ML grade models that route each truck by measured ore grade in real time.
Refined Hydrological Response Model
Hydrological model calibration with PEST++: fit MODFLOW 6 or FEFLOW to monitoring data, while ML surrogates and ensemble methods emerge to speed it up.
Tailings Management
AI tailings management: unify GroundProbe radar, piezometers and satellite InSAR in one platform to run the facility on live data from design to closure.
