Info

Important general rules discussed in this document that everyone should be aware of when creating dashboards:

  • [ReasonState] is the preferred metric when dealing with downtime/slow running/micro stoppage/etc. reasons. This means this is preferred over [Reason] metric, and in most cases also [State] metric (unless the goal is to focus strictly on a true Machine State).

  • Users should avoid adding machine “activity-level” metrics to Dashboard-level filters. These include metrics like:

    • ReasonState

    • Scrap Reason

    • Reason Name

    • ReasonState Group

    • etc.

These metrics should be at the Widget-level in almost all cases.

  • Safe/recommended metrics to add to Dashboard-level filters are anything not directly related to a machine’s “activity” (state, reason, scrap reason, etc.). Examples of safe Dashboard-level filters include:

    • Shift

    • Plant

    • Area

    • Machine Name

    • Job Name

    • Job Filter

    • etc.
