Embedded systems in production equipment and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors on production lines are one of the elements that constitute an industrial cyber-physical system. In this paper, an in-depth study and analysis of the optimization of blasting parameters and prediction of vibration effects in open pit mines using deep neural network arithmetic are present. Based on the deep neural network research and analysis of the relationship between blasting parameters and rock fragmentation, a prediction model for blasting parameters and fragmentation for the East Open Pit Mine was established, and sensitivity analysis was performed on blasting parameters, and the unit consumption of explosives and the perforation rate were established. It was found that the average relative errors of both numerical simulation results and depth prediction results were no more than 10%, while the average relative errors of Sadowski's formula prediction results were more than 20%. The results show that the neural network optimized by a genetic algorithm and the numerical simulation has the highest accuracy in predicting the blasting result parameters. The research model and results obtained in this paper can be used as a reference guide for engineering practice.
