MES Software: Configurable Data Entries / Data Collection
How to cofigure an entry to consume material
The following figure show a Step by Step on how to add a Material Consumption on
the Step Definition.
To define a Material Consumption entry, take the following steps:
- Select the
'Name-Value Pair' Tab on the
Step Definition Form.
- Define the label that will appear in the
Configurable Data Entry section on the Travelers Form.
- Pick the 'Consumption' value from the different Value Types.
- Fill out the quantity that one part on the traveler will consume.
In case of
discrete parts, each
Part Record that is attached to the traveler will consume the 'Qty to
Consume' value of the Part Definition that is defined in Step 7. This means that,
for each Part Record that is attached to the Traveler, the operator has to select
10 different parts (if the 'Qty to Consume' value equals 10).
- Select the
Part Definition of the Material you want to consume by first selecting 'Add'
button. This will open the 'Part Type Picker' window.
- In the 'Part Type Picker' Window select the
Part Definition by clicking the checkmark in front.
- Click the 'Add' button to close the window
- Now to add the new Consumption Data Entry you have to click the 'Plus' sign on the
Step Definition form. This will add the Data Entry to the 'Name-Value Pair' Listbox.
