Production Intelligence

Accelerate Production. Increase Throughput.

Fragmentation quality affects loading efficiency, haulage performance, crusher utilisation, processing throughput and ultimately the cost of every tonne produced.

Production Intelligence continuously measures blast outcomes, tracks downstream operational performance and provides the intelligence needed to optimise future blasts, eliminate bottlenecks and continuously increase production.

Turning Every Blast Into Data For Production Optimisation

Every truck load provides valuable insight into blast performance. iottag analyses every bucket and truck load in real time, measuring rock fragmentation, oversize distribution and overall blast quality as material moves through the production process.

When oversized material is detected, operators are alerted via in-cabin display, in real time. Affected trucks are automatically diverted to secondary crusher. This reduces crusher blockages, minimises downtime and helps maintain consistent production flow.

Every blast becomes a measurable learning opportunity. iottag continuously measures production outcomes and feeds this intelligence back to drill and blast engineers, enabling continuous improvements in blast design, fragmentation quality, production efficiency and operational performance.

Every Blast
Influences Production

Fragmentation quality influences every stage of the production process, from excavator productivity and truck cycle times through to crusher performance, processing efficiency and production throughput.

Understanding this relationship enables operations to identify where production is being lost and where improvements will deliver the greatest operational benefit.

Optimise Loading Performance

Loading efficiency is directly influenced by fragmentation quality.

Well-fragmented material is easier to dig, faster to load and moves more efficiently through the operation.

iottag helps organisations understand how blast performance affects excavator productivity, bucket fill, loading cycle times and tonnes moved per hour, providing the insight needed to continuously improve loading performance.

Crusher Availability

Maintaining consistent crusher throughput is critical to production performance.

By removing oversized material from the production stream before it reaches the primary crusher, iottag helps reduce production interruptions, improve crusher utilisation and maximise tonnes processed throughout every shift.

Production Intelligence Dashboards

Each role requires specific operational insights.
Every dashboard is designed to provide the right operational intelligence to the people responsible for improving production performance.
