BME

BLASTMAP is BME's flagship blast design and planning software, with over a decade of use in surface mining. It is available as BLASTMAP Standard (for smaller operations) and BLASTMAP Premium (for larger mines, with additional modules for fragmentation prediction, vibration prediction, blasted rock radius, contouring, and through-seam design). The software enables users to create and manage hole layouts, drilling angles, dimensional compliance, and timing designs with 2D and 3D visualisation.

XPLOLOG is BME's mobile and cloud-based data logging platform for capturing hole and deck data in the field. Blast plans designed in BLASTMAP can be accessed on-site through the XPLOLOG device, where actual blast information is captured and compared with planned values. The platform integrates with BME's Mobile Manufacturing Units, allowing MMU operators to charge and top-up holes accurately with the latest blast design updates. Actual charged values from the MMU's digital panel are automatically sent back to XPLOLOG and made available on the cloud for review and analysis.

XPLOSMART is BME's newest software offering, developed in partnership with Strayos. The platform includes 3D photogrammetry, drone-based fragmentation analysis, rock mass analysis, smart drill analytics, geotechnical analysis and modelling, and capabilities extending into ore body movement, haul-road intelligence, highwall safety, and rock mass AI. XPLOSMART streamlines workflows by integrating geospatial, time-series, and visual data with intelligent analytics to provide predictive insights, post-blast analysis, and optimisation across the mine-to-mill value chain — including linking blast performance to financial and ESG outcomes.
