Introduction

The module Setup Specs is a web-based application for managing product-related production and process specifications required within the manufacturing process chain – also known as recipe management.

Specifications define how to manufacture or handle a particular product by representing different types of information. These specifications fulfill the requirements in the individual work steps of employees, production/assembly machines, or third-party applications.

Production specifications contain parameters required to set up a production system, such as axis positions, clamping forces, assembly/tool types or additional descriptions in text form. Process specifications are generally those process parameters explicitly describe a process or process sequence. Process parameters can be simple one-dimensional parameters, multidimensional process curves or parameter structures from individual value pairs of different formats. Process parameters are repeatable parameters.

Roles and permissions

All modules of the Nexeed Industrial Application System work with permissions. Depending on the permissions, different functions are available in modules.
To enable functions, assign the necessary role needs to the user based on the desired permission. Navigate to the Multitenant Access Control module to handle the permissions.

The standard configuration of the module includes the following roles:

Authorization

Guest

Executing User and Release Manager

Dataset Editor

Configurator

Configurator of Type Groups

Administrator for Setup Specs

Display and export all elements

Add and delete datasets and lines for a variant

Change the release status of variants and lines

Manage datasets in the product and editor tab

Manage dataset structures in the configurator tab

Import data

Perform all dataset configurations

Perform all type group configurations
