The Quality Configuration allows users to set up groups of manual checks tied to operations set up in the main Shoplogix Configuration. This documentation will give you a detailed overview of each component of the Quality Configuration and how they operate.

 

Save/Reset:

If there are unsaved changes, it will be displayed. You can Save the Quality Configuration here, or Reset all unsaved changes.

Operations Panel:

The Operations Panel displays all the configured operations grouped by Plants. Users will only be able to see Plants that they have permission access to view. Instructions on setting up operations in the main Shoplogix Configuration is at the bottom of this document.

Note: Plant with a selected operation cannot be collapsed.

 

Groups Container:

The Groups Container allows users to set up and configure all the groups within an operations. These groups must have a unique name. Each group has its own set of manual checks configured, and all the Job Rules as conditions for triggering these configured checks. Users are able to Add new groups from scratch or by duplicating an existing group, Edit existing groups by modifying its name or whether the group is active or not, or deleting the group. If a group is configured as Inactive, there will be a RED circle beside the group name, otherwise it will be GREEN.

 

Job Rules Container:

The Job Rules Container allows users to set up and configure all the job rules that need to match the currently running job in order for the configured checks in this group to get triggered. These job rules are filters that are configured in the main Shoplogix Configuration. Instructions on setting up filters in the main Shoplogix Configuration is at the bottom of this document. You can have multiple conditions on the same filter. (i.e. Filter of name Length must be Greater than 1 and Less than 10)

 

Manual Inspections Container:

The Manual Inspections Container allows users to set up and configure all the manual inspections that are to be triggered if all the configured Job Rules are met on the current running job. You can duplicate and delete groups of Manual Inspections.

Fields:

  • Active: Checks only get triggered if this setting is true, otherwise they will never activate.

  • Order: This is the order that this check will appear in Whiteboard once checks are triggered.

  • Name: Name of the check.

  • Type: Type of the check, can be one of: PassFail, Measurement, OR String.

  • Low: Lower limit of passing threshold.

  • High: Upper limit of passing threshold.

  • Target: Expected target of check value.

  • Std Dev: Expected Standard Deviation.

  • SPC: The check is designated as an SPC variable.

  • Critical: Once the check is triggered, the pop up cannot be hidden until this check is completed.

  • Stage: Designates when this check gets triggered. List of valid Stages below.

  • Quantity: Only available if the Production Stage is selected. The number of parts produced before this check triggers.

  • Hyperlink: A valid URL with an image or PDF to work instructions to be displayed when this check triggers.

Stages:

  • AdHoc: Checks that are always available, and can be completed at any time.

  • Job Start: Checks triggered at the start of a new job.

  • Job End: Checks triggered at the end of the currently running job.

  • Job Pulled: Checks triggered when a job is pulled.

  • Shift Start: Checks triggered at the start of a new shift.

  • Daily: Checks triggered once per day at the start of the first shift of the day.

  • Production: Checks triggered every time the configured quantity amount is produced by the machine. (Note, they are only triggered after the production of the quantity amount. If you want to cover 0-n counts, use JobStart stage for initial run)

 

Import/Export:

The configured Manual Inspections can be imported and exported. clicking on export downloads the configured Manual Inspections in the group.

 

A CSV template for importing can be downloaded from here. Once the template is filled out properly with all the checks, users can then import the CSV file into this platform. All currently configured Manual inspections will be overwritten by the CSV file. Changes will only be reflected when you save the Quality configuration. Format must match the Manual inspection fields written above. Any issues in the CSV will be highlighted by this platform so the user can correct the errors.

Main Shoplogix Configuration Setup:

Operations:

Under Machine Device Settings, fill out Operation. This field takes a comma delimited list of operation names. i.e. if a machine belongs to two operations Op1 and Op2, this should be entered in the Operation field: Op1,Op2.

Filters:

Under Area settings, add filters. All the filters set up in a line area will be selectable in the Quality Configuration. These filters will be in all operations that fall under the Plant where these filters are configured.
