Systems and methods for estimating a hardness of a rock mass during operation of an industrial machine. One system includes an electronic processor configured to receive a rock mass model and to receive live drilling data from the industrial machine. The electronic processor is also configured to update the rock mass model based on the live drilling data and to estimate a drilling index for a hole based on the updated rock mass model. After estimating a drilling index for the hole, the electronic processor is also configured to set a blasting parameter for the hole based on the estimated drilling index.

Methods and systems for estimating the hardness of a rock mass

Systems and methods for providing feedback to an operator of an industrial machine. One system includes a controller including an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to monitor at least one operating parameter of the industrial machine, determine a plurality of performance metrics based on the at least one operating parameter, and select a subset of the plurality of performance metrics based on a selection criterion. The electronic processor is also configured to display the subset of the plurality of performance metrics to an operator of the industrial machine during operation of the industrial machine.

Providing operator feedback during operation of an industrial machine

A mining machine including a chassis, an actuator, a cutter drum supported by the chassis, the cutter drum driven by the actuator, a cutter bit coupled to the cutter drum, and a controller. The controller includes a processor and memory and is configured to measure a characteristic of the actuator, determine the cutter bit is worn based on the measured characteristic of the actuator, and output a signal when the cutter bit is determined to be worn.
