A mandatory stage during drilling operations is the departure of a specialist to the production site after the explosion. A person takes a measurement of the granulometric composition and decides whether the size of the rock granules is sufficient to send to the crusher or another explosion is needed. The service with computer vision helps to eliminate this stage and reduce production costs.
granulometry
The device with the program is mobile and compact: it can be installed in a bucket or on a conveyor belt
The productive shift time after the explosion increases. There is no need to wait 1-3 hours for an employee to go to the site and take a photo. The system evaluates the granule size automatically
Advantages
The efficiency of mining increases by 10% due to more accurate information about the characteristics of the rock, reducing the cost of mining
The program allows you to collect detailed statistics on the distribution of ore fragments in the rock: size, area, diameter and others
NVIDIA Jetson Minicomputer
Web interface: a program on a computer with Internet access that simultaneously processes streaming video from different cameras
Realization
Reducing the cost of drilling and blasting operations by saving explosives. The obtained data on the granulometric composition are used to calculate the parameters of explosions of neighboring blocks and horizons
An increase in the volume of extraction and the average size of the mineral due to the optimally selected grain composition
Cost reduction by tracking oversized fragments
Reduction of expenses for the repair of dump trucks, wagons. Large pieces of rock, as a rule, damage the sides of the equipment
