BlastIQ Mobile October 2019 Release

Orica released an update to BlastIQ Mobile on Tuesday 8th October 2019 (v1.3.3555).

 

A notification will appear in the BlastIQ Mobile app on start-up once the update is available. We hope this will enable customers to perform the update without assistance from the specialist.

Please note the following features are not compatible with the current version of the BlastIQ Enabled MMU:

  • Removing a deck
  • Inserting a deck
  • Setting final stemming length
  • Marking a deck as loaded not measured
  • Marking a hole as not drilled

For further information on an update to the software, please contact the Support Team at blastiqsupport@orica.com or via the web support.blastiq.com.
