Downtimes

You can access the Downtimes application by clicking on Downtimes in the lower navigation menu of Factory OPERATE.  This application enables Operators to view and contextualize downtimes for their equipment. This capability allows you to gain valuable insights into equipment performance and identify areas for improvement to maximize production uptime.

Viewing Downtimes

When you select your equipment, you can view a list of equipment stops for the selected time range.  Fault information is presented with start time, end time ,fault code and fault code description.

Note that active Downtimes (stops in progress that have started, but not ended) are displayed in red.  The Duration and End Time fields for active Downtimes are updated every 10-20 seconds, to ensure you always have a real-time view of your stops.

You can select a different machine in your line using the Machine navigation menu.  

You can also select from a set of preset time ranges using the Time filter.  You can view shift-based information for the current and past shifts, and also select other larger time ranges.  Please note that the time range of Today represents the current production day, starting from the first shift of the current production day.

You can also filter based on the Duration of the Downtime, and select from Duration ranges of more than 1 minute to more than 12 hours.

There are several additional top-level filters including Fault Code, Type, Failure Mode, and Root Cause, that you can use to refine the list of Downtimes.
