Why we exist
For sectors obsessed with productivity and data, what happens now is extraordinary
Significant profits lost due to increased costs from poor data
Drill & blast automation is impossible without good hole data
What happens now
Every hole manually tape-measured for depth by two people walking hole to hole.
People get bored, distracted, hot, injured and make mistakes.
Water is guessed and, if present, more expensive explosives used.
Measurements manually given to blast engineer.
Dirt and water fill holes after dipping.
Variations/errors commonly 2-10m whereas expected accuracy +/-200mm.
Different explosives used based on hole temperature.
The Metron optimises drill and blast outcomes
Uniform rock size, improving shovel and haulage KPIs
Less equipment damage from oversize rocks
No further crushing or rework needed
Less mineral contamination
Less explosive incidents and misfires
