Compliance and Loss
The Compliance and Loss KPI mainly deals with manufactured units and defective units.
Compliance:
- If you do not need to keep a track of ALL the failures happening in a factory (like a machine failure/defective units/failing regulation, etc.), but if there is a topic(event trigger) that updates whenever there is such an event, you can just monitor how many units are compliant (pass quality assurance/non-defective units).
Production Loss:
- If you need to know how many of the manufactured units were unsuccessful, and hence realize the loss incurred on the desired period.
- The timer interval parameter is useful if the connected input tag is offline, but you still want this KPI to "look" for a value every few seconds, defined by the aforementioned timer.
- If you know your tag is going to reliably publish at the expected interval, it is better to disable this timer by entering 0 in this field.
After creating this KPI, you need to add definitions called manufactureEnd and defectiveUnit to the connecting wire, which are event triggers, triggering when it is the end of manufacturing cycle, and one trigger which represents a defective unit was discovered.
Parameters | Details |
|---|---|
Manufacture From | The value at which the manufacturing cycle begins. |
Manufacture To | The value at which the manufacturing cycle ends. |
Defective From | The value at which the system detects a defective unit at the beginning. |
Defective To | The value at which the system detects a defective unit at the end. |
Timer Interval | Timer in milliseconds. If no event, use this timer to keep displaying the output continually. Enter zero to disable. |
