Initial Configuration

The operator through the HMI has the ability to log in and select:

  • the workstation;
  • the production order;
  • the related operation;
  • the operator team;
  • the machine that will be used.

Note Some of these configurations may not be available, this depends on the configuration that is performed by system administrators.

To begin the configuration, you can use one of the functional buttons.

Start

Workstation Selection​

The operator will see a screen containing all the workstations to which the HMI is connected.

Station

Operator Selection​

In this screen you will see the names of all operators authorized to work at this station.

In this screen, available production orders will be presented.

For each of these, the following will be indicated:

  • the item to be produced;
  • the customer;
  • any agreed delivery date;
  • the number of available operations;

Summary​

In this screen, information about the selected operation will be shown.

These are the data displayed:

  • the operator and the HMI;
  • the type of processing;
  • the production order;
  • the quantities produced out of the total;
  • documents and attachments;
  • the item properties (e.g. ALLERGENS: fish), shown between attachments and notes when the Show item properties (SHOW_USER_PROPS) option is enabled on the HMI;
  • technical notes.

If the HMI display templates contain the SALES_ORDERS(code) token (or SALES_ORDERS(name)), the sales orders linked to the production order are shown on one line, separated by commas: the first two are shown followed by +N for the remaining ones (the full list is visible on hover). The badge is hidden when no sales order is linked.
