Overview

Holidays allow you to define company-wide non-production days where downtime can be automatically categorized as planned downtime so metrics like OEE and availability reflect only expected production time.

Prerequisite

• Enable Exclude Planned Downtime from Scheduled Time in Settings > Downtimes

Without this setting enabled:

• Downtime will still be categorized with the selected reason.
• Scheduled Time and related production metrics will not be adjusted.

How It Works

Holidays are configured at the company level.

• Apply to all machines
• Apply across all machine schedules
• Span a full day using your company’s “Start of Day” setting
• Automatically categorize downtime using the selected downtime reason

ℹ️ NOTE: Existing automatic downtime categorization rules covering the same time periods are no longer required.
