In this guide, you’ll get comfortable setting up new quality inspections.
Create new quality inspection groups
Go to <yourCompanyServer>.shoplogix.com/qualitycontroller
For example, if your server is “saas125”, then the URL would be saas125.shoplogix.com/qualitycontroller
On the left-side of the screen, you’ll see your machines bucketed by each Plant’s OPERATION field from SLX’s main config.
...
This means if 3 machines had been configured with OPERATION = “Welding”, they would all show up in their Plant’s section called “Welding”.
| Info |
|---|
Any quality inspections you configure for this OPERATION (“Welding”) will apply to all the machines in the plant with the OPERATION “Welding”. |
...
2. Select the OPERATION that you want to configure quality inspections for to load its quality inspections.
If this is your first time configuring quality inspections, your screen will look empty.
...
2. Click the Paging tab for your plant.
...
3. Rename the recipient groups to fit your organizational structure. We recommend focusing only on the teams or departments that you want to receive text / email notifications when a machine goes down.
...
...
| Info |
|---|
Remember, these are colleagues who you want to receive notifications when a digital andon is triggered on the shop-floor. |
5. Click the “+” button or the “-” button to add or remove recipients to your liking.
...
Example:
If you want JOHN DOE to receive only an email notification, enter only his email. Alternatively, you can enter only his phone number (please include country codes).
OR…
If you want JOHN DOE to receive both emails and text messages, simply use the “+” buton to add two individual “recipient” entries for JOHN DOE – one for his phone number, and one for his email.
6. When you’re complete, click Save to confirm and save your recipient group configuration.
Congratulations! 🙌🎉
You’ve set up your digital andon recipient groups and recipients!Add button to create a new group of related quality inspections.
...
3. Create a relevant name for this group.
Remember: this is to create a group of similarly related quality inspections (for example: all quality inspections that are needed for Allen-Bradley Hardware)
...
4. Click Confirm when ready, and your screen should update to provide additional settings to configure.
...
5. Now you can configure Job-based conditions. This means that any time all of the conditions you add here are TRUE, the quality inspections (which you’ll set up next) will trigger.
For example, you can configure a condition where the Job Name contains “XYZ”
...
This means any time a job comes through and its Job Name contains “XYZ”, the Quality Controller will trigger the quality inspections for this group.
6. Next up, you’ll need to actually set up your Quality Inspections.
Each Inspection row accounts for a specific work instruction (e.g. 1 row might be “Check the numeric reading on this machine”, another row might be “Check if this injection mold is still correctly in place”)
The options for each quality inspection are as follows:
Order: The order in which each quality inspection appears for your operators.
Name: A human-readable field for yourself to easily manage which quality inspection refers to which work instruction
Type: You have the option of asking your operators to document a measurement or mark a result as Pass/Fail
Low/High/Target/Std Dev: These fields are available when you select “Measurement” in Type. So for example, you may want an acceptable reading on a machine to be between 10 and 40, with a target value of 25. Enter those values here
SPC / Critical: Mark an inspection as SPC to make it appear on the SPC Analysis screen, and mark as Critical to block operators from clearing it accidentally on the SLX Whiteboard until it’s complete
Input Threshold Percent: Sets limits on the entered value to prevent accidental out of range values
Limits the input to prevent accidental values
Value must be within percent difference of the limits
Value is a decimal value (ie 0.1 = 10%)
| Code Block |
|---|
Ex. Input Threshold % (IT) = 0.25
Upper limit (UL) = 20, Lower limit (LL) = 12
Confidence Range (CR) = (20 - 12) * 0.25
Max value = UL + CR = 20 + 2 = 22
Min value = LL - CR = 12 - 2 = 10
|
So if the value is not between 7 - 25 then it will not be accepted and show the following error:
“Value exceeds threshold”
Input Regex: Sets a regex filter on the values that can be entered into the quality modal (Regular Expression). This prevents certain data type entries from being entered in so accidental incorrect values can be filtered.
Stage: This is a key field here. Use it to set when a quality inspection should occur. For example, you can set a quality inspection to be performed at the beginning of a new shift, at the end of a shift, etc. Please see https://slxdev.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/resumedraft.action?draftId=2856550415&draftShareId=29655a80-e3d7-437f-bf3f-6dfb766e8fdf for more information regarding stages.
Hyperlink: This is where you should link a copy of your work instruction. Generally we recommend PDF as the preferred file type.
...
**In order to generate the Hyperlink, the PDF must be uploaded to the server.
The path for the PDFs is D:\Shoplogix\Enterprise\html\images\CustomerName.
For example:
D:\Shoplogix\Enterprise\html\images\Tecnova\Amperaje.pdf hyperlink is https://saas102.shoplogix.com/images/Tecnova/amperaje.pdf
7. When ready, click Save to confirm your changes.
...
Congratulations! 🙌🎉
Now any time the job-based conditions you set up for your group = TRUE, the quality inspections will appear for your operators via the SLX Whiteboard.
