eDev™ II
The electronic blasting system for smarter, safer blasting in underground development and civil tunnels.
Advance rates and improve safety with flexible timing and at-face testing.
Advance rates and improve safety with flexible timing and at-face testing.
eDev™ II is Orica’s next-generation electronic blasting system designed for underground development and civil tunnel blasting.
Built for challenging conditions, it enables accurate timing, reduced overbreak, and faster tie-in and firing, improving crew safety and productivity. Featuring at-face testability and Load by Numbers for rapid deployment, eDev™ II supports programmable delays, multi-deck firing, and wire options for soft or abrasive rock. Integrated with the field-proven Blaster 3000, it’s part of Orica’s integrated ecosystem for smarter, safer blasting.

The eDev™ II system comprises:
- eDev™ II electronic detonators
- Blast Box 610 and Blast Box 610C (for i-kon™ CEBS integration)
- eDev™ II tester for inherently safe at-face testing
- Scanner 260 for full-function testing at the face
- Scanner 125 (upgradeable to eDev™ II via firmware)
- Remote detonator interface equipment for safe face testing
Case study
At the Anei River tunnel, eDev™ II allowed us to minimise disturbance to our neighbours while blasting operations continued.
Further, by employing the Multi Deck Blasting technique we fired fewer blasts which resulted in fewer opportunities to disturb our neighbours and we also realised increased productivity in other aspects of the tunnel cycle. Less blasts meant less down time due to tunnel evacuation for firing and ventilation. Less blasts meant less faces to scale, making it safer for our employees.
