Case Study: ARI Inc. achieves better fragmentation and lower drilling costs with Strayos

ARI Inc. reduces drill layout time to 15–20 minutes with Strayos

Aggregate Resources Industries (ARI Inc.) faced challenges with operational efficiency and oversize fragmentation at a quarry site with difficult geology. To improve drill and blast outcomes, ARI partnered with vendor Strayos to implement a solution utilizing drone imagery and data processing.

Strayos provided a seamless system that processed drone survey data to create optimized drill plans, which were then exported to smart drills from partners like Epiroc and Trimble. This solution delivered significant results for ARI, including reduced time laying out holes, a reduction in the number of drill holes needed, and improved fragmentation. The customer also saw reduced processing costs, demonstrating a clear return on investment from using Strayos.
