Digitized quality assurance of drill holes

“Drill Tracker is a cloud-based solution that improves the quality of the drilling process and empowers the operators with digital drill plan sheets. The actual drill hole outcome is logged directly in their phone or tablet, and the information becomes available to anyone who needs to know the progress or the outcome in real-time. We developed this tool together with our customer Boliden, and we are now ready to offer more of our customers this add-on through the My Epiroc platform.”

“The digital drill plan sheets facilitate communication between drill rig operators and the blasters. Traditionally, drill hole outcome is logged on a piece of paper. By digitizing this step, you get all data and deviations registered in one place, signed and ready. By using Drill Tracker, the drillers can focus on their actual job instead of chasing a piece of paper. Everyone on the team can follow the process, and the production planners benefit from being able to see whether the machines will be available on time or not."

“Because Drill Tracker is used in areas of the mine where connectivity is poor, we had to create a solution that worked great even offline. We also wanted it to be easy to get started. It’s actually no more difficult than downloading an app, creating an account and uploading the drill plan – and you’re up and running.”
