VoD Analyser

Velocity of detonation,
hole by hole, zone by zone

One cable trace becomes a VoD for every charged deck, every hole and the whole shot, set against the plan you fired.

The VoD Analyser in full screen: the cable trace on the left, a card per zone and the well on the right.

Filmed in the ShockAI demo: Hamersley North, a synthetic iron-ore mine.

At a glance

Review a shot the way you would on paper

Three reads of one trace, the planned timing over the recorded cuts, and every toe side by side. Every picture here is the product, captured.

Continuous VoD along a recorded hole, with the planned line

Did the front reach design VoD?. Continuous VoD against the planned line, segmented VoD zone by zone, and the raw cable length: three reads of one trace.

Look closer

Built to be checked

Each figure sits beside the plan it is judged against.

  • Segmented VoD for each zone

    Segmented VoD

    Each zone read cumulatively, at points along its length, so a front still running up shows as a rising line.

  • A hole’s details drawn in section

    Every hole, in section

    Its fields, its charge column, and what the analysis read in it.

  • A zone’s deviations from its hole and its plan

    A zone against its hole and its plan

    Its VoD, its fit, and how far it sits from its hole’s average and from the plan.

  • Recorded cuts aligned with their timing markers

    Every cut on its marker

    With the offset set, each recorded cut lines up with its planned firing time.

  • The ranges across the blast overview

    Every toe at once

    A dot per hole and range, against each range’s mean.

  • Continuous VoD metrics for one zone

    How steadily it ran

    On continuous VoD, a zone’s mean, median and spread.
