This report makes it possible to analyze machine data for all the
batches during a period of time. The report presents a graph with a
stacked bar per batch-number. With data from various machine sensors
stacked within the bar.
The input for this report is generated by first establishing the
relationship between the machine sensors and the relevant batch number
sensor. This can be done in the advanced panel of the sensor
configuration page in the Admin app. Activate the selector (1)
if the sensor is a batch sensor and establish the relationship with
other machine sensors by selecting them, by clicking on the
icon (2). Here you can also select the value type for each sensor, either average, last or sum. Read more about this in the article in How to configure batches and recipes.
Below you see the Batch Report page itself.
3. You can select the time range you wish to view, either using the preconfigured periods, or a custom period.
4. Use the selector to select one or more Batch sensors.
5. There are three different views, which show the same data but grouped differently. 'Per batch & recipe' shows the batch values on the X-axis, and per batch a stacked bar with data from the sensors which have been linked to the batch sensor, 'Grouped per batch' and 'Grouped per recipe' show a bar graph per sensor which groups the data for all the instances of that batch or recipe during the selected date-time range.
Then click the plot button to generate the graph and data table.
Note that if you adjust the settings, you will need to plot the data again.
6. At the top right of the graph are the filter buttons for batches and recipes. Clicking the buttons, opens a dropdown selection list.
An example use case for this, is to measure the duration of each process step, and relate this (filter) to a batch, so you can exactly analyse in which batches deviations occur for the different process steps. This enables you to find the bottlenecks in your production process. If you are working with recipes, you can select (filter) for which recipe you want to do the analysis.
7. The graph itself shows stacked bars. You can zoom in and out of the data, and hovering the mouse above a data point, will show a pop-up with the specific data.
8. Below the graph is a legend, showing all the different sensors which have been related to this batch sensor. You can click them on or off, to show or hide them from the graph.
9. Below the graph is a data table, which can be exported to Excel.
Note: When calculating average values innius considers the time duration
that a sensor has generated a particular value, not simply the number of
instances a value has been generated.
