Advanced Vibration Prediction
Blasting Vibration Prediction Tool
Advanced Vibration Prediction is Dyno Nobel’s vibration prediction tool designed
to revolutionize the way the mining industry approaches vibration. While traditional
models assume every blasthole will generate an identical wave, Advanced Vibration
Prediction accounts for variability in blasting, including confinement, charge weight,
bearing to structure, geological differences, and destructive and constructive
interference, for the most accurate vibration prediction in the industry.
Through a proprietary waveform generation algorithm, Advanced Vibration Prediction
uses a seed waveform as a starting point. It then generates thousands of synthetic
waveforms to add variability to the synthetic convoluted blasting outcomes. These
iterations of a single blast give a stochastic analysis that provides the likelihood of
all potential outcomes so operations of all shapes and sizes can predict vibration
outcomes with confidence.

 Benefits
 • Industry-Leading Accuracy
 • Calibrated From Measured Blasts
 • Accounts for Intrinsic Variability in Blasting
 • Stochastic Approach for Confidence in
 Prediction
 • Simulates Hundreds of Blasts for Statistical
 Analysis

Vibration Timing Optimization
Optimal Timing for Vibration Mitigation
Dyno Nobel’s Vibration Timing Optimization is a signature waveform convolution
engine that quickly helps identify blast timing pairs that help reduce vibration at a
structure. Using traditional or travel time-based signature wave analysis, Vibration
Timing Optimization can run thousands of scenarios in seconds to find the optimal
timing for vibration mitigation. This tool pairs seamlessly with the Advanced Vibration
Prediction tool in Nobel Fire.

Benefits Use Cases
• Simple, Fast, and Accurate • Vibration Mitigation
• Runs Thousands of Scenarios in Seconds • Timing Optimization
• Identifies Optimal Timing for Vibration • Community Relations
 Mitigation • Safe Blasting Near Structures
• Pairs Seamlessly with Advanced Vibration

Fracture Density Model
Physics-Based Fragmentation Modeling
FDM is Dyno Nobel’s physics-based fragmentation model. Built with the end-user in
mind, it’s an advanced modeling tool that anyone can use. Through an automated
calibration process, the model can be calibrated using a single or series of blasts that
have been measured, making the model extremely accurate for operations’ specific
geology. Modeling future outcomes significantly reduces the operational impact of
continuous improvement projects, including cost reduction, fines reduction, oversize
reduction, and pattern expansions.

Benefits Use Cases
• Industry-Leading Accuracy • Cost Reduction
• Calibrated to Operations’ Specific Geology • Fines Reduction
• Uses Any Source of Particle-Size • Oversize Reduction
 Fragmentation Measurement • Pattern Expansion
• Automatic Calibration Process • Particle Size Distribution Optimization
• Cloud-Based Architecture for Fast Results • Continuous Improvement
• Powerful Physics-Based Tool That Anyone
 Can Use

MOBILE APP
Bringing Nobel Fire to the Bench
Nobel Fire’s mobile app streamlines blaster operations on the bench and makes it
easy to accurately collect data in the field. Available on any modern iOS or Android
tablet, the mobile app allows users to add real-time drill information and blast data
during the layout and loading process. The collected data can then be combined
with other data sources to analyze and monitor the blasting process.
The Nobel Fire mobile app integrates seamlessly with the web application. Mobile
app users can create blast designs and capture drill, blasthole, and load data and
see the information on the web application in real time. The mobile app can also be
used offline and synced once connected to the internet.

Benefits
• Design Blasts on the Bench
• Capture Drill and Blast Information
• Analyze and Monitor Blasting Process
• Integrate with Nobel Fire Web Application
