Analyze image samples on your iOS device with the particle sizing software that started it all! Make decisions based on fact instead of theory. WipFrag software puts particle sizing at your fingertips! Originally developed in 1986 at the University of Waterloo, WipFrag pioneered image-based particle size analysis software. Like other long standing, industry-standard software packages, the WipFrag of today bears little resemblance to its primitive ancestor. WipWare technology empowers you with the tools you need to collect historical data, establish a statistical baseline and track subtle changes throughout the optimization process so you can make decisions based on fact, instead of theory. The included BlastCast™ blast forecast module helps predict fragmentation when used in conjunction with WipFrag particle size data. As proven in the mining, forestry and aggregate industries, WipFrag particle analysis helps cut energy consumption, improves efficiency and minimizes equipment maintenance costs. Blast models, formulas, expected results; we all know that this approach to predicting blast results is useless without the tool to quantify what really matters: fragmentation.
