EPI TEAM PRESENTS NEW PRODUCTS TO ENAEX EXECUTIVES AND CLIENTS
The Electronic Product Implementation (EPI) team, led by Rodrigo Gutierrez, EPI Product Manager, successfully led a series of demonstrations with customers and Enaex executives to show the advances and benefits of our electronic initiation systems, specifically Daveytronic® EDGE and the new programming unit that will bring new safety and productivity features for advanced electronic blasting.
In particular, our Daveytronic@ EDGE contacless system eliminates the surface connection between detonators, a critical process in the performance of traditional electronic systems. It ensures that each electronic detonator communicates effectively and bi-directionally at all times, while maintaining the safety features that have made Daveytronic® electronic systems the best in the world.
Field tests will soon begin with our customers to demonstrate the multiple benefits of this new technology.
