Introduction

The Machines List allows users to not only view all of their machines but also view relevant machine data and information. 

The Machines List provides the ability to quickly see current machine status, access detailed machine performance data in multiple time ranges, and quickly navigate to individual machine-related pages.

Note: See the Machines Page article for the functions provided in the machine Overview pages.

Accessing the Current Shift Dashboard View

To access the  Dashboard, select Dashboards in the sidebar navigation and select Current Shift Dashboard from the options.

Views, Ranges, Page By 

View: The homepage of the Machines tab will default to the Utilization view. Each of the views will provide columns of live data. Each view will include the Machine and Current Job category. These views include:

• Utilization
• OEE 
• Parts Goal
• Settings
• Custom

Range: Range allows you to select the timeframe of the machine results on the desired view. Currently, the range will be sorted by Current Shift, 24 Hours, 7 Days, 30 Days, or 52 Weeks.

Page By: The Page By will allow you to customize how many machines you can see on a specific view. 

Utilization View

Quickly answer the question of how effective your machines are being utilized with this view. Access a quick overview of key utilization metrics on all of your machines. Sorting the columns allows for easy identification of machines that may not be reaching utilization goals. The columns include: 

Utilization Rate: Percentage of time in the cycle

Time-In-Cycle: The amount of time a Machine is actively running a program

Total Downtime: Total time a machine has not been active/running (time not "in-cycle") 

Utilization Graph: Utilization over a current time range

OEE View

Gain immediate insights into how efficient your manufacturing processes are performing across all machines with this view. Sorting the view allows for easy identification of machines that may not be reaching OEE goals. The columns include: 

OEE: Percentage of planned production time that is truly productive

Performance: Compares in-cycle time to the ideal time to make a part

Availability: Compares the amount of in-cycle time to the total time

Quality: The number of good parts compared to the total parts produced 

OOE: Percentage of scheduled time that is truly productive

TEEP: Percentage of total production time that is truly productive

OEE Graph: OEE over the current time range

Parts Goal View 

View which machines are not meeting parts goal, and how many parts have been produced vs expected and rejected part totals from this view. Sorting the view allows for easy identification of machines that may not be reaching their parts goal. The columns include: 

Parts Goal: Percentage of good parts made compared to expected parts in a time period

Total Parts: Total number of parts produced over the specified time range

Good Parts: The number of total parts that were accepted as good parts

Parts Rejected: The number of total parts that were rejected

Expected Parts: The number of parts expected based on the expected cycle time

Parts Made Graph: Parts Made over a current time range

Settings View

View details about your machine settings, connection status, and edge device details from this page. This allows for quicker troubleshooting and visibility into your machine's connection to MachineMetrics. The columns include: 

Connection Status: Indicates whether MachineMetrics is currently collecting data from this machine

Make, Model, Year, Serial number: The make, model, year, and serial number of each machine

Benchmarking: Whether this Machine is included in our benchmarking program

Edge Device: The Edge Device is used to allow communication between this Machine and the cloud

Data Collection Method: The Data collection Method(s) used to transfer data from this Machine

Connection Address: The address that the Data Collection Method uses to connect to this Machine

Adapter IP: The connectivity method's IP adapter address

Adaptor Port: The connectivity method's configured adapter port

Custom View

The custom view allows users to add individual columns that is unique to the user account. 

Add Columns: Select the columns you would like to show and order them. You will have various options to select from: 

• Operation
• Utilization 
• Parts Goal
• OEE

Select Save to save the custom columns.

Additional settings on this page include: 

Edit Custom Columns: This will bring you back to the "Add Columns" Menu

Page By: Select the number of machines on the page to view

Reorder Columns: Reorder the columns within the page by selecting this option.
