Release: Betelgeuse
Latest New productsBMX Web Components 3.3.0 · An image compare, a theme studio, an SPC chart, an FMEA editor, a planogram, document assembly and an IP planner
Seven new products for the work behind quality and operations: the screens a release changes, the themes your customers brand with, the processes a line keeps in control, the ways a product can fail, the shelves a store fills, the documents a business sends, and the addresses a network hands out. The image compare and the theme studio are in Hypernova Pro and Gold; the SPC chart, the FMEA editor, the planogram, document assembly and the IP planner are in Hypernova Gold. As always, everything runs in the browser, loads nothing from anywhere and sends nothing anywhere.
- Screenshots compared
- Themes checked for contrast
- Control charts
- FMEA and fault trees
- Shelf planograms
- Documents assembled
- IP address plans
- No dependencies
Image compare — BMX Web Components
- New
<bmx-image-compare>, in Hypernova Pro and Gold: two pictures of the same thing side by side, as a swipe, one over the other, flipped back and forth or as the differences alone, compared by perceived colour with the smoothed edges of text and shapes set apart. - NewChanges close together grouped into areas and boxed, boxes that always change left out, a whole run of screenshots listed with each one’s outcome and each change approved or rejected, and the differences as PNG and the run as a PDF report; the same engine on your build server.
Theme studio — BMX Web Components
- New
<bmx-theme-studio>, in Hypernova Pro and Gold: light and dark themes from a brand colour, the greys tinted with its hue, and every pair of colours the library puts together checked for contrast at AA or AAA, measured as the browser draws them. - NewEach shortfall fixed by the nearest colour that passes, type, spacing, corners, shadows and motion set, real BMX elements shown in the theme, and themes out and back in as CSS, JSON or a JavaScript module; the same engines write each customer’s stylesheet on your server.
SPC chart — BMX Web Components
- New
<bmx-spc-chart>, in Hypernova Gold: X-bar and R, X-bar and S, individuals, p, np, c, u, EWMA and CUSUM charts, with limits worked out phase by phase or taken from a trial run, and run-rule signals flagged and explained in words. - NewPoints left out for a known cause, new phases where the process changed, points streamed in as they are measured, capability with a histogram, a Pareto of causes, and CSV and a PDF report; the same engines in a nightly job.
FMEA editor — BMX Web Components
- New
<bmx-fmea-editor>, in Hypernova Gold: design, process and system FMEAs rated for severity, occurrence and detection on your own scales, with the risk priority number, risk bands, actions with owners and dates, and the checks a reviewer makes. - NewRevisions compared; a fault tree with AND, OR, vote and inhibit gates, its top event worked out exactly with the minimal cut sets and each event’s importance; and CSV, JSON, an Excel workbook and a PDF report.
Planogram — BMX Web Components
- New
<bmx-planogram>, in Hypernova Gold: bays of shelves, pegboards and baskets with products from your own catalogue faced, stacked and filled deep, drawn as blocks or your own pictures, and anything that does not fit shown and listed. - NewDays of supply and each product’s share of space and sales, merchandising rules of your own checked, changes since an earlier version, and a PDF pack with shelf-edge strips at true size; the same engines for every store in a nightly job.
Document assembly — BMX Web Components
- New
<bmx-document-assembly>, in Hypernova Gold: templates written in the BMX document editor or opened from Word, with tags for answers, conditions, repeats and clauses from a library that keeps their versions, and an interview built from them. - NewThe document put together page by page as it is answered, and saved as Word or PDF; and many at once from a CSV file or a JSON list, its columns matched to the questions, each record checked and the documents zipped with a report.
IP planner — BMX Web Components
- New
<bmx-ip-planner>, in Hypernova Gold: your own IPv4 and IPv6 space as a tree of blocks with sites, VLANs, owners and gateways, split, taken and merged, with free space at every level and addresses handed out. - NewThe plan checked as it changes, a map of how full each block is, a subnet calculator, sites and VLANs beside the plan, and JSON, CSV both ways and a PDF plan; the same engines in your pipeline.
Improvements — BMX Web Components
- UpdateThe ten themes: focus rings in each theme’s full primary colour, subtle text a shade clearer in five of them, and white text on the mint theme’s buttons — every theme passes each contrast check the theme studio makes.
- UpdateThe BMX documentation gains a search box in its top bar: every component, property, event, method and guide heading, found as you type, with
/to reach it. - UpdateTwo elements of the same kind on one page name their panels apart, so a screen reader tells them apart too.
Live showcase
- NewSeven new showcase pages: a product page before and after a release, and a release’s screenshots against their baselines; a ferry company’s colour made into a full theme, and a theme for each customer; fill weights on a packing line, with capability and causes; a process FMEA for a hedge trimmer’s assembly line, and the fault tree behind its worst failure; two bays of breakfast cereals, with their sales, rules and store pack; a non-disclosure agreement from interview to Word, and offer letters for a list of new starters; a company’s address plan checked, and the addresses for a new shop.
