When creating your own charts, you’ll need to select which metrics you want to include.

When you click the Add + button next to a widget panel, a menu will expand offering you all available Shoplogix metrics:

Info

The term “Dim” is frequently used, and is a short-form for “Dimension”. This is simply a technical term to refer to a common category of metrics.

Dim Areas

Division

The area levels above the Plant. Multiple levels will show only the highest 3 levels.

Division2

The area levels above the Plant. Multiple levels will show only the highest 3 levels.

Division3

The area levels above the Plant. Multiple levels will show only the highest 3 levels.

Line

The area level configured as Line.

Line Area

The area levels below the Line. Mutiple levels will show only the highest 3 levels.

Line Area2

The area levels below the Line. Mutiple levels will show only the highest 3 levels.

Line Area3

The area levels below the Line. Mutiple levels will show only the highest 3 levels.

Plant

The area level configured as Plant.

Plant Area

The area levels below the Plant. Mutiple levels will show only the highest 4 levels

Plant Area2

The area levels below the Plant. Mutiple levels will show only the highest 4 levels

Plant Area3

The area levels below the Plant. Mutiple levels will show only the highest 4 levels

Plant Area4

The area levels below the Plant. Mutiple levels will show only the highest 4 levels

Dim Dates

Calendar DateTime

Preferred Date to use – this is the machine time.

Multiple timezones.. ??

Dim Jobs

Job Blocked Cycle Factor

How many cavities are blocked per cycle.

Job Cycle Factor - Finished Goods

Job Cycle Factor - Inventory

Job Cycle Factor - Line

Job Cycle Factor - Scrap

Job Description

Job Due DateTime

Job End DateTime

This is the date when a Job ends running

Job Expected Electricity

Job Expected Employees

Job Expected Gas

Job Expected Production

Job Expected Runspeed

Job Expected Setup

The expected setup time for your jobs.

The best way to use this field is either in a table or chart where you can separate it by Job Name.

Job Expected Water

Job Filter 01 - 20

These are the same job filters that you configure when scheduling jobs

Job Instance

Often you will run the same Job Name multiple times. Each individual time you run a Job, Shoplogix creates a “Job Instance” record along with the job instance’s metrics.

So for example, you can have a job called Job Name = “A”, and you can run Job “A” 5 times.

You’ll still have a single Job Name in your analytics portal called “A”, but if you use the Job Instance field with it, you’ll be able to get the metrics and stats behind each individual time you ran Job “A”.

Job Instance comes in the form of a a long, unique ID tag (example: efjk349dif9s0u30h208sfsdsf34sdf4”).

Don’t worry, no one is expected to remember Job Instance IDs!

The best way to understand Job Instances is by using them in conjunction with Job Name, Job Start Date, and Job End Date. This way you’ll have a better understanding of the parent job (Job Name) and you’ll be able to correlate the Job Instance with the date it ran.

A great way to use Job Instance is when you’re trying to pinpoint if a job (via Job Name) always performs poorly, or if it only performed poorly during a specific Job Instance

Job Is Local

Job Max Run Rate

Job Name

Job Name is the human-readable name that you assign Jobs when scheduling. You’ll be very comfortable with this field as it is the same Job Name you see in Whiteboard.

Job Next Operation

Job Operation

Job Pull Group

Job Ship DateTime

Job Start DateTime

This is the time when each Job starts running

Job Status Blocked

Job Status Confirmed

Job Status Edited

Job Status Is Current

Job Status Pulled

Job Timestamp

Dim Machines

Is Line

If the machine is a line or not.

A Line is expressed as a machine that has this flag set to true. Since a line is expressed in the same production stats as a machine, we create an “Line Machine” with:

Machine Name = Line Name

Machine Id = Line_(bottleneck line machine Id)

This “Line Machine” allows analytics as if the line was a single machine in native line units.

Machine Id

system field.

Machine Name

Machine Name as configured

Dim Machine Security

Customer_Account

system field.

Security Machine Key

system field.

Dim Reasons

Reason Classification

Reason’s Classification as configured in the Machine’s variables tab.

Reason Group1-4

Reason Group as configured in a Machine’s variables tab.

Reason Name

Reason Name

Reason Type

Reason’s

Dim ReasonState

ReasonState Classification

ReasonState is a combination of Reason and State – all properties of Dim ReasonState are the Reason’s properties when a reason is present. When no reason is present, the State properties are used.

ReasonState Group 1-4

ReasonState Name

ReasonState Type

Dim Recent Shifts

Shift Recency

Shift Recency is one of 3 values:

  • All

  • 24 hours

  • 7 days

This is a way to include the last 24 hours of completed shifts.

Uses [Shift Instances].[Is Last Completed] to determine if a shift is within the last 24 hours.

Dim Scrap Reasons

Scrap Group

Scrap Reason group as configured.

Scrap Reason

Scrap Reason as configured in the Machine’s variables tab.

Dim Shift Instances

Shift Instance

A unique identifier to distinguish this shift from others with its name and start date.

Shift Name

As configured in the shift calendar

Shift Start DateTime

When the Shift Started.

Shift Is Current

If the shift is the current active shift at the time of cube refreshing.

Shift is Last Completed

True for the most recent shift that is complete per machine. False for all other shifts.

Dim States

State Classification

Performance, Capacity, or Availability.

State Name

State Name as configured.

State Group1

Joseph Kingry (Unlicensed) where are these actually configured?

State Group2

State Group3

State Group4

Fact Core

Blocked

Parts blocked by blocked cavities.

Cycles

Cycles

Duration for MTTR

Mean Time to Recovery is calculated by summing the time in non-failure states – this is that duration.

This / Stops = MTTR

Duration for MTBF

Mean Time Between Failure is calculated by summing the time in failure states – this is that duration.

This / Stops = MTBF

Expected Cycles

Expected Cycles

Expected Production

Job Rate, or if there is no Job Rate, then the Machine Rate.

Good Production

Total Production - Scrap

OeeProductive

Used to calculate OEE.

Good / Rate

OeeRuntime

Used to calculate OEE.

Total / Rate

OeeScrapByRate

Used to calculate OEE.

Scrap / Rate

Reason Occurrences

Number of times the Reason was entered, for any duration.

ReasonState

see Dim ReasonState.

Scheduled Hours

Hours during scheduled shifts. Excludes capacity reasons and capacity states.

Scrap

Scrap in scheduled time.

Scrap Including Unscheduled

Scrap, All.

State Occurrences

Number of times the State was entered, for any duration.

Total Hours

Clock Time.

Total Production

Parts produced in scheduled time.

Total Production Including Unscheduled

Parts produced including parts from unscheduled time.

Uptime Hours

Hours where the StateType is:

  • Uptime; or

  • Speed Loss

Fact Scrap Reasons

Scrap Reason Amount

IMPORTANT: Scrap Reason Amount is the amount for just the associated scrap reason (from Dim Scrap Reason). If you are working with Scrap but not interested in reasons, then use [Fact Core].[Scrap].

If you are interested in reasons, once you add this field, the inner join will eliminate all Fact Core rows so you will want to create side by side to best analyze Scrap Reasons alongside Fact Core fields.
