Orica’s surface automation program is redefining how mines manage drilling and blasting by combining advanced automation with secure, integrated digital intelligence. Designed to remove people from hazardous zones and drive continuous, reliable operations, the program brings together autonomous systems, tele‑remote capability and real time data to improve safety, productivity and cost performance across the blasting workflow.

Our automation roadmap includes the intelligent MMU™, autonomous dipping technology and modular payload systems that work seamlessly with Orica’s digital platforms such as BLASTIQ™ and LOADPlus™. Together, these solutions give mines the ability to optimise decisions on bench, reduce exposure, and improve recovery through consistent, repeatable processes that support better mine plan adherence.
