Summary
This article describes how to add a plan, sync data, perform dipping and loading.
Follow the steps on how to add and remove a plan.
- Tap the "Settings" icon.
- Select a "Site".
- From the plans page, tap the "Add" button.
- From the add plans to the device, select a plan from the list.
- Tap the back arrow.
- Newly added plan shown.
- To remove a plan, swipe left and tap the trash icon.
It is important to sync BlastIQ™ Mobile Lite before and after adding the plan to ensure all data is available.
- Tap on the "Sync" icon.
- Tap on the "Sync" button
- Wait for the sync to finish and for the "Success" status to appear in the Sync Progress box.
- If connectivity fails, an error message appears: "A network error occurred."
BlastIQ™ Mobile Lite provides various views to help you manage your work effectively. It displays holes on your device in the order you walk them on the bench. Choose the most convenient view for you while working on a specific shot.
The Hole List View lists hole IDS in alphanumeric order, making it ideal for working on holes sequentially (e.g., A1, A2, and A3). It displays data entry fields in a straightforward list format.
- Open a plan.
- Hole list view opens.
- Use the search holes field to search a hole.
- Swipe up and down to view the list.
The Map View presents the geographical layout of holes in a top-down view. It is optimal for plotting a customised, non-linear work path (e.g., cross-stitching between echelons)—offers and overview of your progress at glance. Data entry fields are revealed upon selecting a specific hole.
- Open a plan.
- Tap on the "Maps" icon.
- A map view of the blast plan from SHOTPlus™ is available under the map view on BlastIQ™ Mobile Lite.
- Each hole's icon represents its status, which is determined by the hole's state and tolerances set in SHOTPlus™.
- Measured - Hole has a recorded actual length greater than 0.
- Wet hole: A blue ring displayed around any existing state icon indicates the hole is wet.
- Backfill required: Hole depth exceeds backfill tolerance.
- Redrill required: Hole depth exceeds redrill tolerance.
- Partially loaded: Hole has at least one deck of explosive product loaded.
- Loading complete: The hole has an explosive product loaded, and the Scale Depth of Burial for the highest actual product deck is less than 2.0.
- Stemmed: The hole has an inert product loaded onto the collar.
- Invalid - Hole is conflicting or an unknown event
- Each hole's icon represents its status, which is determined by the hole's state and tolerances set in SHOTPlus™.
- Use your two fingers to rotate the map. The North pointer icon allows the user to return the map to its default view state.
- Select a hole to go to "Charging view", where QA/QC data or loading data can be captured against a hole.
The depth and properties of each hole inform the system on how to automatically select the appropriate product for charging. Your hole data also determines the weights of products according to the loading rules specified in the blast design. Enter precise dip data to ensure accurate loading operations.
Via Hole List View
- Select a hole and tap the Depth field.
- Depth is pre-populated with the design depth. You can change this value to the actual depth you have measured in real life.
- Click "Save" when done.
- Depth to water needs to be updated with the real water measurement if the hole is wet. Tap the Depth to Water field. Note: If the hole is dry, leave it blank.
- Input a water measurement.
- Click "Save" when done.
Via Hole Loading
- Tap a hole from the map view.
- Hole loading page opens.
- Tap the Depth field.
- Depth is pre-populated with the design depth. You can change this value to the actual depth you have measured in real life.
- Click "Save" when done.
- Depth to water needs to be updated with the real water measurement if the hole is wet. Tap the Depth to Water field. Note: If the hole is dry, leave it blank.
- Input a water measurement.
- Click "Save" when done.
After dipping, it’s important to add accurate loading actuals for the initiation and blast review processes.
- Tap the "+" button after adding a hole measurement.
- Deck 1 page appears with suggested values.
- Tap the Weight field and use the keypad to enter the actual weight.
- Tap the horizon arrow to confirm the suggested value, or tap the horizon field and enter the actual horizon using the keypad.
- Tap "Save" or the keypad forward arrow when done.
- The deck with the entered values will be displayed on the hole loading page.
Editing or Removing Decks
- Tap the deck you want to edit.
- On the edit deck page, tap the fields you want to edit (e.g., Product, Weight and Horizon).
- Tap "Save" or the keypad forward arrow when done.
- Swipe left on the deck you want to remove and tap the trash icon to delete the deck.
When loading is completed, you need to confirm the stemming.
- Tap on the "Stemming" button.
- Confirm the deck number.
- Tap "Save" when done.
