New Features - What's Improved?

brains.app Real-Time AI Platform

brains.app serves as our central platform and we are constantly improving its environment to provide a greater user experience. Here are the latest updates on brains.app:

  • Alerts 2.0 - Notifications via email and SMS (subscriptions)

    Users can conveniently manage alerts to ensure all important events are notified in time for operators to react, ensuring operations always perform optimally. In this new release, users can subscribe to receive notifications via email and SMS, especially when this alert goes on, off, or gets deactivated. Admins are also able to add/remove email subscribers, so they can ensure the right people are receiving notifications.

  • Data Pipeline - Coexistence of event-driven (Dynamic Stockpile) and time series-based pipelines.

    In this latest development, we aimed to enhance the underlying data platform to seamlessly accommodate both batch and real-time processing. This enables the coexistence of different apps, such as stockpiles and grinding, within the same environment.

  • Data Pipeline Test Suite - Event-driven pipelines

    During this phase of development, we implemented a comprehensive test suite framework for conducting unit and integration testing of the underlying data processing platform. This framework considers diverse data types, applications, and edge cases to ensure thorough testing coverage.

    The modifications made to the pipeline graphs and architecture will have a broad and far-reaching impact on other services that depend on the Flink pipelines for data processing, curation, and acquisition.

  • Data Pipeline - Expand the types of aggregations

    This new development aims to extend the range of data features available through the brains.app beyond simple sum and average values. It will offer different types of data representation within the same processing periods.

  • Data Pipeline Upgrades

    In this new version, background tasks are implemented to update the software version to the latest release. This helps reduce the number of bugs and minimizes the possibility of security threats caused by outdated libraries.

  • Subregions Redistribution of Batches (SRB) Block Model Conformation - Subregion Constraint Enhancement

    In this release, we enhanced the SRB block model conformation process by implementing subregion constraints. This enhancement involves configuring the model to restrict lateral material movement within subregions strictly. By ensuring that materials remain within their designated areas and preventing inaccurate allocation across different subregions, we can refine the RRB conformation approach and achieve more accurate and reliable Stockpile representations.

  • Block Model Data Quality Score

    This feature introduces quality scores as a new column for each block within the 3D block models. It assists geologists and mine planners in evaluating data quality, enabling the identification of areas with lower-quality data. This information is crucial for reducing uncertainty in plant feed planning, allowing for more informed and reliable decisions in mine operations. Additionally, an overall quality score is provided for each blockmodel on the Blockmodel section page.

  • Scan Management - In-App Scan Quality E-mail Notifications

    In this new addition, users can independently subscribe to an email notifications list through the app. In the notification administration section, users have the capability to select various notification types, including those associated with scan data quality and reports.

Bugs - What's Fixed?

In our continued effort to make brains.app the most reliable platform, we focused extra on eliminating key bugs. Here are some of the top fixes:

brains.app Admin

  • The metric values now display correctly in the grid widget on dashboards.

  • Emails are now consistently received when the alert status changes.

  • Scatter plot graphs are functioning as expected, displaying accurate data.

  • The 'Send Feedback' button now includes the correct link.

Stockpile and Inventory Optimization App

  • Numbers in the source bars in the material accounting section do not overlap.

  • The 'Feed by Source' graph now accurately reflects the total feed value.

  • FMS report toolboxes are functioning properly.

Flotation Optimization App

  • The Flotation Optimizer screen consistently displays recommendations without any disruptions.

  • The Optimizer screen is loading properly.

  • The feed section (Optimizer_config) now correctly shows the error message "no metrics configured" when values are not entered.
