This new technology, which has been manufactured in Quebec for several years, has great potential for optimizing deposit exploitation productivity. It is based on the detection of magnetic fields emitted by an antenna. However, the size of wireless detection devices is still too large for this promising technology to break into the market.


The research project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of a safe wireless detonator with reduced size and production costs compared to the state of the art.
