AI Driven, 3D Blast Movement Software. Accurately understanding and modelling blast movement is a complex, high value problem for mining companies. Even with the application of best practice, accurately predicting the dilution, ore losses and mixing within a muckpile has been indicative at best.Blast movement impacts many functions throughout mining operations, playing a critical role in mine planning, geology, drill & blast, survey, load and haul, and processing.For decades now, open pit mining operations have been forfeiting hundreds of thousands of dollars a day by not optimising their blast movement technology. And while these losses are well understood, such costs have proven challenging to avoid, despite the best efforts of mining personnel.Augment have created a solution that empowers mining personal to reduce the costs and consequences of blast movement. OMP, Ore Movement Policy is a software only, AI driven, 3D solution to blast movement prediction and modelling.Accurately understanding dilution, ore loss and mixing after a blast enables operations upstream and downstream to make better decisions based on information that until now has not been available.
