Abstract

The article discusses the development of a specialized web-application for the digital design of drilling and blasting operations in open-pit mining. The architecture of the software is described, which includes a data storage server and a 3D client interface, which provides multi-user access and centralized data storage. The implemented modules are presented: drilling design (including automation of well placement taking into account the digital relief model) and verification of actually drilled wells (control of deviations based on GNSS navigation and telemetry of drilling rigs). Special attention is paid to innovative solutions such as integration with positioning and data acquisition systems, the use of Big Data, the planned explosion simulation module, and the use of artificial intelligence methods to optimize parameters. The results of trial operation are presented, confirming a 50-60% reduction in planning time and an increase in the accuracy of compliance with design parameters. Prospects for the development of the system by the end of 2025 are being discussed, including the addition of charge calculation and automation of the detonation process, which will create a full-fledged domestic software package for BVR.
