How to configure an area step by step
The areas encompass processes. To create and configure the areas of a working center, complete the following configuration. In [Click to configure] select [Areas].
Step 1. Configuration for each area
- Area & Description: write a name (e.g: Group A) and an identifier (e.g: L1) of the area being configured.
- Processes: determine which processes are included in the configured area, separated by commas, e.g: 40L1,40L2,40L3.The areas are not exclusive, two areas can share the same processes.
- Define the mathematical function to calculate the area ratios according to the processes. Variables must be enclosed with quotation marks or enclosed by parentheses and separated by ";", e.g: with MIN (1CON; 2ROT; 3DRI; 4CON; 5PRE) the ratio of the area is calculated using the lower ratio of the processes included in it.
- Configure the OEE for the area.
NOTE: if new processes or areas are created, check that they are visible to devices o users.
Step 2. Save changes
- Press
