From blast design to advanced 3D digital twin simulation — each tier unlocks more capabilities for your operation.
The foundation for digitizing your blasting process. CAD-based bench & hole layout, drill pattern creation, charge design, import holes & deviations, point cloud & satellite imagery, overlap analysis, and manual fragmentation measurement.
The all-in-one solution for blasting engineers. Blast design, simulation, seismic analysis, fragmentation measurement, energy distribution, MWD integration, and comprehensive reporting.
Advanced 3D simulation and optimization with Blast Digital Twins. Full 4D voxel simulation, sequence optimization, deconvolution, multi-signature hole analysis, and 3D fragmentation modeling.
Un portail web qui centralise tous les KPI de vos plans de tir. Suivi de fragmentation, vibration, coûts, consommation d’explosifs et performance opérationnelle — accessibles à votre management en temps réel depuis n’importe quel navigateur.
Design your entire blast pattern from scratch or import existing data. Create holes, define charges with smart loading templates, set up initiation sequences compatible with electric, non-electric, and electronic detonators.
Leverage 3D point clouds from drones, LiDAR, or satellites to automate positioning, loading, and profiling. The system adapts your blast design to actual bench geometry for optimized burden and spacing.
Import profiles, hole deviations, drill logs (MWD), point clouds, seismic recordings, and background maps. Compatible with all major formats and measurement systems used in the blasting industry.
Visualize your blast plan in full 3D with point clouds, zones, seismic wave propagation, and energy distribution overlays. Use Web API backgrounds to locate critical vibration points directly on real maps.
Analyze initiation timing with iso-time lines, visualize charge overlaps, compute scaled distance laws with automatic K and Alpha calculation, and perform comprehensive seismic signal analysis including filtering, compliance standards, and frequency analysis.
Simulate vibration propagation, fragmentation distribution, flyrock trajectories, airblast impact, and energy distribution — all based on calibrated physics models. The Ultimate edition adds full 4D voxel simulation and blast digital twins.
The Digital Twin module provides a complete 4D simulation of your blast using advanced voxel technology. Predict rock movement, ore dilution, vibration propagation and rock damage before firing — enabling data-driven blast optimization.
Import seismic recordings from all major brands, measure fragmentation distribution from images or drone orthophotos with AI-powered detection, and generate critical burden heat maps from bench point clouds.
Audit every aspect of your blasting operations: drilling accuracy, hole attributes, loading compliance, bench profiles, and costs. Compare planned vs. executed blasts and measure your environmental impact with GHG analysis.
Export drilling patterns directly to IREDES, VIST, and TPL formats for smart drills. Share initiation sequences with DaveyTronic, Fametronic, HiTronic, and IIDetex electronic detonators. Share blast plans among I-Blast users with one click.
I-Blast Dashboard centralizes all the KPIs of your blast plans on a single web portal. Your management team gets real-time visibility on fragmentation, vibration, costs, explosive consumption and operational performance — from any browser, anywhere.
The most complete blasting software on the market. One tool for design, simulation, analysis, optimization, and reporting.
Automate repetitive tasks. Smart loading, auto-positioning, and batch processing save hours of engineering time.
Physics-based simulation models calibrated with real field data. Predict outcomes with confidence before the blast.
20+ years of R&D in detonation physics, wave propagation, rock mechanics, and fragmentation modeling.
Immersive 3D visualization and 4D digital twin technology. See your blast before it happens.
