Abstract
Blasthole Drills have made many developments in safety, efficiency, and productivity through enabling automation. With this progress has also been growth in data. Transforming that data into information is where real opportunity and unlocked potential exists. How do you make decisions off this data to meet business objectives? What changes in the drilling process can/should be made? What stakeholders are using it? How are they using it or how could they use it? What are the results? These are very common questions we get. This presentation will explore what automation is being used and driven by data backed decisions throughout all levels of the value chain. This includes day to day decisions and more strategic planning.
