From the Machine Hourly Window, there are many different viewing options that can be chosen from the settings menu. To access this menu, click on the settings icon in the top right corner to open the Settings Window. Clicking on any of the settings in this window will show the available options. Viewing settings for Shift, Target, Gauges, Columns, Display, and Print follow the same logic as the Area Level Whiteboard. Hours is a new category in Machine Hourly Window in Machine Level Whiteboard.
Gauges:
This setting allows for the display of 3 Gauges:
This setting allows for the display of 3 Gauges:
Goal

Uptime
Scrap
Availability
Performance
Variance
Quality ratio
to be shown in any preferred order or hidden altogether.

Variance:
Shoplogix added a new gauge on the whiteboard called Job Runtime Variance. This is available at both Machine and Area level. When the gauge is active, it shows the variance of the Actual/Available.
Variance = 0 when activities take exactly as long as expected.
Positive Variance occurs when activities take less time than expected.
Negative Variance occurs when activities take more time than expected
Shift Variance: Hourly Breakdown
The hour below shows that the job has 27 min available but ran for 60 min and hence a variance of -33 min
Figure 5-17: Hourly Breakdown Display
Shift Variance: Total Breakdown
The total variance of the shift is displayed at the bottom of the shifthours view which shows the combined variance of the entire shift. Total shift variance can be displayed in the Dashboard view for TV displays as well.
Cycle Settings:
Figure 5-18: Cycle Settings Window
Cycle Gauge allows cycles to be displayed in many different measures as listed in the following chart.
Display Name | Cycle Name | Measurement of Cycle |
Cycle | Cycle Time | Time for one cycle |
PPM | Parts per Minute | Number of parts made per minute |
PPH | Parts per Hour | Number of parts made per hour |
Part Cycle Time | Takt Time | Time between the start of production of one unit and the start of the next unit |
SPM | Strokes per Minute | Number of strokes done per minute |
SPH | Strokes per Hour | Number of strokes done per hour |
Time Metric allows the displayed cycle time to be calculated based on three different time metrics (Uptime only (default) / Elapsed (total time) and Scheduled time).
Cycle Tolerance sets the cycle time tolerance limits. Over cycling machines are indicated by a light green gauge with a dark green ring. Cycle times within target are indicated by a solid green gauge.
Over-cycling Tolerance indicates cycle times outside the specified limits are by a red circle when enabled.
Goal and Scrap Targets:
Changing target settings adjusts the gauge colors for Goal and Scrap targets.
Goal Target: By default, Green is 75-100%, Yellow from 50-75%, and Red 0-50%.
Scrap Target: By default, Green is 0-2%, Yellow from 5-10%, and Red 10-100%.

Hours:
Hide Blank will hide the hours scheduled with no production
Hide Total will hide the Shift total underneath each of the hours
Auto Scroll will automatically scroll the page to display the current hour—otherwise the page will start at the first hour
