Brains.app Next - New Interface and Version Upgrade
​
The brains.app platform has undergone an update, bringing several improvements. These include a visually refreshed user interface, faster page loading times (averaging 4x faster), enhanced data visualization on dashboards, and improved functionality for selecting and streamlining time periods.
​
This change will be applied to all our suite of products, comprising: Stockpile & Inventory, Grinding, Flotation, Leaching, Thickeners, and Solvent Extraction Optimization Apps.
​
In the upcoming month, you'll have the opportunity to access the beta version of the new platform, allowing you to switch between versions as desired.

New Generation of Dashboards - Fresh Look and Configurations

The latest dashboards empower users to effortlessly configure asset metric tables and time-series dashboards, facilitating various visualizations such as histograms and statistics. With the powerful custom data source, the IntelliSense.io data provider, sophisticated tables can be configured quickly and with minimal effort.
​
​These dashboards offer a wide range of visualization options, including asset metrics tables, time series analyses, histograms, and various other graphical representations. Powered by our proprietary Intellisense data provider tool, they enable users to easily organize assets and metrics, providing a customized and insightful overview of the data.

Optimizer Screen Upgrade -Timer Synchronized with Optimizers
​
In this new addition, each optimizer model under the control recommendations timestamp should output an additional metric storing a timestamp indicating when the recommendations were last updated. This "last updated" column will be clearly displayed for operators, allowing them to ensure they are accessing the most recent values. Consequently, operators can rely on the timer and react to recommendations only when the timer is updated.

Flotation Optimizer Configurations (OptiConfig) - Strategy
​
As part of our strategic changes, we have renamed the button "Set strategy" to "Show strategy" in the Flotation Optimizer screen. Now, when users click on this button, they will be presented with a view of the full optimizer configurations: the current active scenario, the last edit time, and the editor's information.
​
In this new addition, users are restricted from editing limits and rewards directly from the screen, as these are for viewing purposes only. However, if a user has 'admin' user type privileges, they will see a "configure" button next to the strategy name, allowing them to access the corresponding 'OptiConfig' screen page to edit scenario values (see figure below).

Therefore, only designated admin metallurgists will have the authority to set optimizer reward values/weights in the OptiConfig screen, assuming responsibility for the optimizer's strategy. This ensures that the strategy is defined by authorized personnel, rather than relying on manual configuration processes or the operator's role.
​

The request for setting up the Superadmin is functioning correctly.
