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:
This guide explains each metric and provides examples where applicable.
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.
Category | Measure | Definition | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
Dim Areas | Division | The area levels above the Plant. Multiple levels will show only the highest 3 levels. | |

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:
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:
| ||
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. |
