All this information is used for analysis and improving future blast designs.
The Blast Information Management System (BIMS) provides information that can be used to optimize mining operations through strategic and operational planning, control, and decision making. BIMS provides a way to store, manage, document, and retrieve information related to drilling and blasting, including details about the blast, actual blast parameters, the blast pattern, the face profile, explosive consumption, charging details, vibration records, photos, and videos of the blast. This information can then be used to improve future blast designs.
