Continuum

The purpose of the Continuum is to display a dashboard of the key metrics that are commonly used across the entire mine value chain reconciliation process. Similar to the dashboard of a car, these metrics should be intuitive.

The Continuum isolates and simplifies comparisons with user configurable units, mine value chain and reconciliation ribbons.

Mine Value Chain

The top section of the Continuum screen visualises the mine value chain mapped for your site. The value chain includes a series of components called 'nodes'. You can show or hide individual nodes to control what data displays in the other sections of the screen.

Attributes

The attributes (tonnes, volume, grade, metal) display directly below the mine value chain. When you select an attribute, the system dynamically updates the comparison ribbons and the waterfall chart to display related data across the value chain.

Comparison Ribbons

The comparison ribbons allow you to configure the display of suitable comparisons by factors (a direct ratio between two points), a percentage difference or a value difference between two nodes of the mine value chain.

Waterfall Chart

The waterfall chart is a visual representation of the difference between the adjacent nodes of the mine value chain. The waterfall chart can instantly indicate problem areas.

Waterfall chart values are updated when you select an attribute from the table(s) under the mine value chain.

Hiding a node on the mine value chain also removes that component on the waterfall chart. The difference between the nodes is calculated using the visible nodes only. For example, hiding the Mine Delivered node displays the difference between the Mine Production and Crusher Received.

The colour depicted on the waterfall chart is controlled by the Control Limit Styles Screen and Comparison Calculations Screen located under the Configuration menu item.
