Additional benefits


Delivering value where it matters.

Our advanced Digital Solutions powered by SHOTPlus™ and BlastIQ™ deliver meaningful, measurable impact across every stage of blast design and execution.

Compliance and safety

Rule-based blast execution ensures regulatory compliance with minimal effort, while standardised loading and vibration control enhance workplace safety and reduce operational risk.

Productivity

Automated, expert-informed adjustments optimise blast outcomes and reduce manual intervention, saving time and resources, delivery consistent fragmentation and digability through real-time or near real-time blast control that improves downstream processes and minimises rework.

Simplified user experience 

Intuitive, user-friendly interfaces make it easier for operators to design, load, and report blasts accurately and efficiently, creating a seamless workflow from planning to execution.

Insights

Data-driven insights allow for proactive responses to deviations and bottlenecks, supporting continuous improvement and strategic planning across the operation.

Compliance and security

Our cloud-native platform is ISO 27001 certified, upholding the highest standard in information security management, and demonstrating our commitment to providing an open, secure and connected platform for our customers and industry partners.
