including throughputs, performance, machine down time, and QC history
Scheduler – Enables planning and scheduling of production runs; allows integration of planning and scheduling to track
performance; allocates products, packaging and personnel to production orders, runs and shifts on multiple lines,
according to customized time and raw material data; allows scheduling by quantity or time
Line Supervisor – Enables data entry, including product changeover reports, changes in plan, use of segments, and
downtime reasons; monitors and displays efficiency, line utilization and exceptions
Alarm-Generates alarms for faults, deviations, stoppages, QC problems, and raw materials –according to
customized settings; monitors and displays alarms; can be viewed and managed by anyone with user rights
QC Manager – Enables complete automated quality control management, integrated with product data; provides
