The vendor-neutral SaaS platform for drill plan design, real-time GPS navigation, and multi-format export. Works with any drill fleet and any explosives supplier.
Purpose-built for mining drill & blast operations. From boundary import to drill machine export, all in one platform.
Sub-meter accuracy with UC6580 receiver support. Automatic UTM Zone 50S conversion with local offset correction. Track drill rig position in real-time on the plan.
Bluetooth / WiFi / USBGenerate stagger or grid drill patterns with customizable burden, spacing, and rotation. Auto-clip to boundary with depth modes: Fixed, To RL, and Variative RL with slope direction.
Auto Boundary ClipExport to XML with CRC32 checksum for drill machines, professional PDF reports with digital signatures, DXF for ShotPlus integration, and Excel spreadsheets. One plan, every format you need.
XML / PDF / DXF / XLSXVisualize 200m, 300m, and 500m blast safety radii on your plan. Boundary management with actual vs. monthly plan overlays. Automatic extra-hole detection outside boundaries.
200m / 300m / 500m RadiusNo complex setup. No week-long training. Import your data and start generating plans in minutes.
Upload DXF, TXT, or GeoPDF boundary files. Support for monthly plan and actual boundary overlays with automatic coordinate conversion.
Set your burden, spacing, rotation, and depth mode. OptiDrill auto-generates the optimal drill pattern clipped to your boundary with cost estimates.
Export to XML for drill machines, PDF for reporting, DXF for ShotPlus, or Excel for records. Connect GPS and navigate to each hole in real-time.

“OptiDrill cut our plan generation time from 2 hours to under 15 minutes. The GPS navigation feature alone paid for itself in the first month — our drill operators hit every hole within 30cm accuracy.”
“We evaluated ShotPlus and Hexagon before choosing OptiDrill. The multi-format export was the deciding factor — our field team uses XML for the drill rig, management gets PDF reports, and the blast team imports DXF directly into ShotPlus.”
“The safety zone visualization changed how we approach blast compliance. Being able to see the 200m, 300m, and 500m radii overlaid on the actual boundary gives us confidence before every blast. Our incident rate dropped 40% in the first quarter.”
