bolting process," said Anssi Kouhia, product manager for Sand-
vik DS422i. "Handling hole location information has long been
in practice for both development and production drilling, but
not yet properly utilized in bolting. Our latest intelligent product
brings the potential of data integration to our customers."
"Efficient task management with regards to bolter operation
is usually more complex to achieve compared to other drill and
blast cycle operations," said Petri Mannonen, product manager
for Optimine products. "In addition to managing that the ma-
chine has a free heading to operate in, the bolter also has to
manage the replenishment of concrete and other consumables.
Our Optimine task management package provides great advanc-
es in this respect through two-way communication with the task
management system."

mation with both operator assistive and automated functions.
