The latest MineMarket release brings over 60 enhancements and 30 defect fixes, delivering major improvements to blending calculations, the MineMarket Marketing Service, usability, Centric Analytics integration, and overall system performance.
Blending functionality has been significantly upgraded, providing greater flexibility and accuracy in configuring and calculating blends. New configuration options allow you to refine analyte and contributor displays, set shift-based default blend dates, and filter data in the Source Stockpiles table. You can now include mine sources, stockpiles, categories, stock locations, products, specifications, and routes as blend sources. Target specifications can be based on a product, brand, stockpile, specification template, or despatch order. MineMarket considers all these factors to generate the best possible blend. Additionally, when a blend is assigned to a stockpile, its planned quantity and quality attributes are updated automatically, helping you meet contractual requirements with greater precision.
The MineMarket Marketing Service now features an on-demand orchestrator that dynamically scales processing capacity based on demand. This ensures despatch order processing efficiency by automatically creating additional service farms as needed, reducing idle time and increasing performance. The result is a more responsive and scalable solution, particularly beneficial for operations requiring high-performance despatch order processing.
Navigation and task management are now more streamlined. Users can create personal shortcuts for frequently accessed MineMarket objects and web pages, rather than relying on group-based task pane definitions. External web pages can be displayed in separate MineMarket tabs with seamless authentication, making it easier to embed dashboards and other resources. The Contract Explorer has also been improved, now displaying all search criteria without extra clicks.
Transportation and logistics features have been enhanced to improve certificate management across multiple lots and provide many new options for service trip template configuration. We’ve simplified despatch loading and unloading of discrete units, making it easier to find packages and package groups, and to see what was loaded on each despatch.
MineMarket 5.6.0 marks the beginning of integration with Datamine’s Centric platform, unlocking advanced analytics and real-time reporting. This integration will provide end-to-end visibility of key performance indicators and operational metrics, from pit to port.
System performance has been optimised with reduced memory usage and lower database load, ensuring smoother operation when handling large datasets. Installation and system administration updates bring support for Windows 11, removal of outdated dependencies, an upgrade to Crystal Reports, improved database upgrade processes and enhanced scripting and security rights. New installations and upgrades receive a welcome simplification, in that connection and security settings common to all services now only need to be specified once. We’ve made it easier to work with files for AUR Adaptors, embedding downloadable, annotated examples in the online help. Additionally, B2MML adaptors are compatible with the B2MML V7.1-2023 schema, ensuring seamless data exchange and integration.
