Abstract
The development of modern technologies has enabled the application of specialized softwares in the field of mining through various segments and processes, including in works related to drilling and blasting. The application of specialized software for drilling and blasting with the use of modern technologies such as photogrammetry enabled more accurate data from the field for later processing. By processing data and creating a 3D model of the terrain for drilling and blasting works, it can obtain precise data, which serve us for the optimization of drilling and blasting parameters, as well as their analysis. The application of this type of specialized software, in this case, the O-Pitblast software, provides an overview of all parameters, as well as possible corrections and different scenarios regarding the results of the blasting itself. Optimization and analysis through this software can improve the results of blasting in terms of fragmented material size, and reduce the unwanted effects of blasting, such as the flyrock or blast vibration. The software has different types of tools that allow a detailed review and insight into the entire process from the beginning of planning drilling and blasting works to the very end and also printing of reports after the work is done.
