Is the central UI. It is used by engineers and surveyors, supervisors and project managers or anyone who requires vision across the drilling operation. It is where users can create drill patterns, monitor drilling progress per machine or per pattern, see combined rig and pattern production, rock tools consumption, utilization and mechanical availability and histories and gain clear, current insights into the operation - from anywhere.
Is the machine UI. It is mounted in, and linked to a specific drill ID. It is where the operator manually inputs the daily pre-start and shift report information which is then synchronized with INSIGHT with information from across the drill fleet and becomes visible across the platform. This removes paper work completely so all the relevant shift and machine data becomes visible to decision makes in real-time. Reporting and analytics becomes almost instantaneous. Drill operators can enter in specific hole information if needed and alert the management of breakdowns and delays.
A solution for real-time pre-start completion and logging, data gathering and analysis of the drill condition at the start of shift as reported by the operator. A simple check box solution with the ability to enter manual information with updated graphical displays viewable by the mechanical team, drilling superintendent or the project manager anywhere, anytime. When a fault is reported, the mechanical department can see it quickly and act on it. It creates a history of the faults identified and what time the pre-start was submitted. A category A fault will be reported and the maintenance team can see the machine as “down” through the INSIGHTS platform immediately.
This is to digitize the full shift report so information can be analyzed quickly and remove paperwork completely. All information is manual inputs from the driller. This is completed on the same tablet that is located in and linked to the machine ID that the pre-start was completed on. The driller can select tasks (drill patterns) that have been loaded through INSIGHTS platform by a supervisor or engineer and can mark off completed holes and add notes about any difficulties in ground conditions. The driller can enter a breakdown event which is then seen by maintenance or management on the MACHINES view of INSIGHTS platform. All shift information, from number of holes drilled, stand-by times and consumables used is recorded and tracked in near-real time.

This was designed to assist in visualization of planning priorities and drilling progress, current situational awareness (SIC) and future required rig movements. Connecting departments with each other and the machines to create a transparent view of the drilling status and next actions required. Drilling preparation processes can be tracked and analyzed to understand delays and make decisions on how to improve. With the pattern progression functionality of all rigs we are able to predict completion times and compare it to the progress of the next drilling location. Where are the rigs moving to, what condition is that bench in and has the design and prep work been completed. We want to predict when a delay might occur so we can take decisions now and avoid the delay all together. With manual paperwork reporting and manual data entry, looking back gives some indication of what went wrong but we feel it's better to understand the real time situation and have forward predictiveness to avoid the delay completely. If time is lost it's gone and it's not coming back.
