MINING & AGGREGATES
How WipFrag Fits in the Process
WipFrag provides flexible, on-demand measurement across the mining and aggregates workflow, from in-situ rock and blast results through stockpiles, crushing and process sampling. It helps operations turn visual material differences into quantitative data that can be used to:
- Evaluate blast fragmentation by measuring particle size distributions from muckpiles, stopes and other exposed blasted material.
- Identify oversize and fragmentation variability before material moves further through loading, hauling or crushing.
- Compare material between process stages using consistent measurements from muckpiles, stockpiles, crusher feed, crushed product and other accessible material.
- Benchmark and optimize blasting by comparing fragmentation results between blast designs, locations, geological conditions and operating parameters.
- Assess larger blasts and stockpiles from the air using UAV imagery where broader coverage is required.
- Characterize the rock mass before blasting with WipJoint to understand in-situ conditions that may influence fragmentation.
- Plan and evaluate future blasts using BlastCast to compare predicted and measured fragmentation and test changes to blast parameters.
What WipFrag Does
WipFrag analyzes particles and material characteristics from digital images, providing fast, repeatable measurements for field, laboratory and research applications.
Depending on the image and application, WipFrag can provide:
- Particle size distribution (PSD) from visible particles in digital images
- Automatic scaling and slope detection along with multiple scaling methods for practical measurement in real-world capture conditions
- Drone-image and orthomosaic analysis for large areas, stockpiles, blasts and other suitable aerial applications
- Shape measurement for additional insight into particle characteristics
- Colour measurement and differentiation to compare visible material characteristics
- Result comparison, reporting and mapping tools to track measurements between samples, tests, projects, locations or operating conditions
- Rock-mass characterization with WipJoint including joint orientation, spacing, persistence, RQD and estimated in-situ block size
- BlastCast predictive blast modelling to compare predicted and measured fragmentation, calibrate the model and evaluate how changes to blast parameters may affect future results
