Epiroc DTH Optimizer – IoT app for real-time optimization of drilling

Epiroc is a world-leading supplier of innovative drilling equipment, tools and services for the mining and construction industry. With an increased focus on digitalization and operational optimization, Epiroc needed a smart solution to maximize the efficiency of Down-The-Hole (DTH) drilling.

The challenge was to develop a solution that could analyze vibration patterns in real time during the drilling cycle and guide the operator towards optimal drilling parameters – without requiring advanced technical skills from the user. The system also needed to collect performance data for continuous monitoring and improvement. The project was carried out in collaboration with Load Indicator System AB (LISAB), specialists in sensor technology and measurement systems.

The result is a modern and reliable solution that enables Epiroc’s customers to maximize their drilling efficiency and reduce cost per meter. DTH Optimizer guides the operator in real time based on vibration data, eliminating the need for manual fine-tuning and reducing the risk of unnecessary wear on drilling equipment.

Thanks to the system’s easy installation and user-friendly interface, the solution can be quickly implemented in existing drilling operations. Performance data is continuously collected and analyzed, enabling data-driven and continuous improvement of the drilling process. The solution strengthens Epiroc’s position as a leading provider of digital tools for the mining and construction industry.
