Mining Software Solutions in USA

The American mining dream has been a result of diligence and perseverance of the earliest colonisers. Soon after the first settlements in America, metals such as lead, copper, tin, coal, silver and other valuable minerals were found. However, the industry was not yet sustainable due to the finding of small amounts of each mineral. The first shipment of mined iron ore was sent out to England in 1608. At the same time, colonies were erected and Virginia stood as a strong front in the American mining scene. Numerous other colonies were set up near mining hot spots between 1628 to 1789 in various places such as Missouri, Massachusetts, New York and so on.

As of 2015, the combined value of industrial minerals, coal and metals was at US$109.6 billion. The industry has employed 158,000 workers who directly work within the mining industry, and several hundred thousands who work within supporting industries.

Technology for the American Miners:
Due to its elongated mining history, several advances have been made in technology. From machinery to interfaces, the progress has been decent if not monumental. The SBLASTING App on desktop and web based versions is fundamental when considering the environmental and social effects of blasting.

Why is new technology significant for industry growth?
According to the current situation, our demands for valuable minerals, metals and coal is skyrocketing with no end in sight. Therefore, the need for calculating risks and averting disaster is bigger than ever. Current statistics show that the:

Excessive demand coupled with fierce global competition is forcing operators to minimise cost wherever possible
Mining companies are responsible for complying with safety regulations, now more than ever. The damage to our environment will not allow us to sustain mismanaged and inefficient mining activities. Furthermore, the voice of the educated public demands environmental reconciliation.

SBLASTING App: This app is made available on desktops, Apple and Android devices and uses a very simple interface to help decode vital information about blasting such as:

Design and execution of blasting after detailed consideration of various aspects.
Blast Information Management System, one of the 7 modules of this software allows users to gather, sort and analyse blast data
To predict and monitor blast effects with an aim at reducing unfortunate and avoidable accidents
