Hourly quantity tracking tab
The hourly quantity tracking can be used to show the current production status, facilitating a swift reaction to any manufacturing problems.
It may also be necessary (if configured, see below) to confirm automatically recorded part counts in real time on the hour.
The Shift Book Admin operator must activate the hourly confirmation and the special display of unconfirmed hours in the calendar under Shopfloor Management > Administration > Configuration with the configuration parameter |

Target |
Indicates the target part counts (equivalent to 100% OEE or the target OEE) both as an hourly figure and an accumulated figure. The target part count is calculated from the current target cycle time (which may depend on the number of workers) and the planned occupancy time during the relevant hour (planned downtimes are deducted).
|
|||
Actual (internal) |
Indicates the actual part count , both as an hourly figure and an accumulated figure. The actual part count is calculated from the number of IO process cycles at the counting station(s) on the line. |
|||
Good parts and |
Provides a graphical display of the actual part count (green bars) and the target part count (red line). The Quality losses and Availability losses (in parts) are superimposed in light red. This indicates whether possible losses from the target part count can be justified sufficiently. Unconfirmed hours are shown in gray (actual part counts) or in light gray (losses). Only if part count confirmation is activated.

TTNR/target cycle time |
Indicates the type being produced and its target cycle time (in seconds). If more than one type is produced per hour, the type produced for longest during this hour is displayed. The other types are displayed as a comment when the mouse pointer is hovered over the red triangle. |
|||
Quality [pcs.] |
Indicates the scrapped parts and rework parts. NOK parts and parts with the Abort and Others status are counted as rework. |
|||
Availability losses [min:sec] |
Displays the Availability losses , i.e. losses due to unplanned downtimes separated into changeover-related, technical, organizational and quality losses. The total losses within the hour concerned is displayed for each category. However, planned downtimes are not counted. A downtime lasting multiple hours is split accordingly. |

Configure hourly part count confirmation
Especially when using automatic part count recording, it may be necessary for production to confirm the recorded part counts in real time (hourly) in order to react swiftly to any production problems (e.g. target part counts not reached).
The confirmation can be activated by the Shift Book Admin operator under Shopfloor > Administration > Configuration with the following configuration parameters:
-
Enable hourly confirmation
Enable part count confirmation
-
Percentage limit value for the efficiency loss
The loss of power can only be confirmed if it falls between the limits for
Minimum loss efficiency
(default 10 %) andMaximum loss efficiency
(default 20 %).Example:
Minimum loss efficiency = -20 %
Maximum loss efficiency = +30 %
All power losses between -20 % and +30 % can be confirmed.
-
Time limit until when an elapsed hour can be confirmed.
Minimum timeout to confirm part count
, (0 s for no time limit) -
Time limit from when an elapsed hour can be confirmed
Minimum time span in the past to confirm part count
, 300 s, i.e. hour must be at least 5 minutes in the past = default value
Hourly part counts can be confirmed:
-
For elapsed hours (at least
Minimum time span in the past to confirm part count
). -
Within the time limit (see below).
-
If the performance loss lies within specified percentage limits (where configured).
-
If the user has the corresponding authorization
-
To set confirmation: Shift Book Leader or higher
-
To cancel confirmation: Shift Book Admin
-
If an hourly part count confirmation is not possible (checkbox grayed out), the reasons are displayed as tooltips, i.e. by hovering the mouse over the checkbox:
-
Missing permissions (Shift Book Leader role or higher is required).
-
Hour (+ time limit) not yet complete.
-
Timeout (where configured).
-
Performance loss limit exceeded (where configured).
Hourly part counts must, where configured, be confirmed in real time once the hour is complete. Once a time limit is set, hours can only be confirmed subsequently by a Shift Book Admin. Unconfirmed hours are displayed in the calendar or in the hourly quantity tracking with a different color (configurable, Shift types tab ).
In the hourly part count tracker, the deviation may remain red. The checkbox can no longer be activated (the time for this has expired), and when the mouse pointer is held over it, the reason why it cannot be confirmed is displayed. This can be subsequently confirmed with a user role with the appropriate authorization.
Manually enter/correct hourly part counts
Part counts can be entered automatically or manually. Automatically recorded quantities can be added or corrected manually.
Manual entry or correction of the hourly part counts should be done promptly on an hourly basis. |

Summary for OEE calculation

Part count details tab
On the Part count details tab, part counts including quality losses (NOK bits) are displayed for each type part number for all facilities of the current line. This display can also be used for a manual part count input or to correct/add to automatically recorded part counts.
A column is displayed for each produced type part number in the selected shift. There is only one column per type part number.
For each facility (station, function unit, workstation position or tool position) or for each counting station (display/input of number):
The grouping of the display can be set by the Shift Book Admin operator under Shopfloor > Administration > Configuration using the configuration parameter |
