KEY FEATURES OF BRILL FORMULATION VERSION 2.0

Brill Formulation – Core formulation / Batch / Buffer / Professional Nutritionist

•        Easy access to information – Included in Brill Formulation version 2.0 is a new inquiry tool called SmartLists that you can use to access your formulation data. 

•        SmartList allows you to zoom to Brill Formulation windows and export information to Microsoft Excel, making it easier to use and share the data stored in Brill Formulation in many different ways. 

•        SmartList uses sets of predefined search criteria, called objects, to make searching easy as well as allowing you to instantly create sophisticated searches. 

•        Some of the criteria within each SmartList object have been used to create a default search, or view, for each object. By modifying the view you can create a variety of customized views.  The following are some of the objects that will be available in Version 2.0 include:

•        Ingredients

•        Stored Formulas

•        Stored Formulas Ingredients

•        Archived Formulas

•        Archived Formula Ingredients

•        Solution Ingredients

•        Solution Nutrients

•        Run ‘zero’ ton formulas and make available to the solution report.  Customers benefit from this capability to optimize formulas that are seasonal and not being produced at the time the multi blend is run, but will be produced in a month or two (also impacts Multi-Blend).

•        The ability to run parametrics on an ingredients nutrient value (also impacts Multi-Blend).

Brill Formulation Multi-Blend

•        The ability to quickly update nutrient restriction across multiple formulas in one grid.

•        The ability to temporarily change and save nutrient on ingredient.

•        Range information now represents the price change for an ingredient in one specific formula not for all formulas

•        Ability to temporarily change and save nutrient on ingredient in Multi-Blend.  This would make it much easier for a user to test an opportunity ingredient that might have different nutrient analytical values.  It could also help compare solution results for one ingredient from multiple suppliers where nutrient values are different.  This is available in Professional Nutritionist and makes for a significant ROI case for v2.0.

•        Ability to add/remove ingredients/nutrients.

•        Ability to save prices.

•        Ability to save a stored formula to another plant.
