Strayos’ Post

Transcript

Mining is about cost. You know, we put safety first, but after that we've got to be able to, to make money. We've got to be able to lower costs and improve operations. And we believe that utilizing drones and stereos, this has been. A fundamental part of us. As the blasting company kind of moving into that role with some of our smaller customers into that mind planning slash analytical reporting. We believe that this is changing Wescoe's future as how we as a blasting company can help mines. Lower cost and be able to optimize their operation. We filmed the videos, we watch it. Kind of see and then what are we, are we moving forward and trying to capture the data to be better? To optimize and to move forward. And that's kind of where where these tools from, from drones and Strauss has really helped us. So kind of some of the fragmentation workflow that we utilize with. Most of our customers is, you know as the as the pre flight we go out and we fly after the blast. We're able to upload those photos and run an AI mock analysis which allows us to create a fragmentation not only two day 2D but 3D model and A and allows us to put this the graph on the right hand side to monitor. Basically the the the feed values what is our optimal size you're able to. Basically change or. Set up each site in their own fragmentation, whether they want. 8 inch rock or 4 inch rock or as much fines as possible. We're able to help them monitor and optimize this through adjusting the drill and blast pattern. Without this AI, it would be very difficult. We would have to go, you know, four or five times out into the into the mine. We would have to shut down production, take our own photos with with either a camera or a phone, which is time. Your money now we're able to, you know, park out of the way, we're able to fly this 12345 times, however many times and when when we're done, we're able to have this graph and prove to our customers as a blasting company, we're doing doing the necessary changes to optimize their their program. So here we're. And this is in this video, we're kind of showing the muck pile movement. And as you fly for fragmentation you can also. Run the the mock pile AI to be able to show you how the material was moved. This allows us to be able to optimize for the different equipment. So that we can reduce costs and wear and tear. So this this shows the the prediction of what the mock file is going to do based on our loading and our timing schemes that we put in there. Umm, this is a loader operation. This was able to help us improve. With the loading processes and increased dig rates by moving the muck piles out so it's not so high they didn't have to put secondary equipment on to assist in the loading. And then you can also see that is in the the right hand. Well, in the bottom part of the picture, you can see, you know, they're they're crusher in their feed belt is right there. We were able to basically predict what we thought was a safe area for them to set up their crusher. Without being too far away. So this tool being able to not only do a preamp post analysis of what the mock file is going to do along with the fragmentation helps us show in the reporting to our customers and gives them credibility and accuracy of what we feel we can do as a blasting company. And and it's really changed the game and a lot of the a lot of the quarries and the minds that were were operating in.
