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.
Once this has been done, you can plot the Batch Report by selecting a date-time range, and the view you wish to see (3).
If you have more than 1 Batch sensor, by default all will be shown in the report. But you can also choose to select 1 at a time in the Batch Sensor selector field.
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.
Note that if you adjust the settings, you will need to plot the data again.
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 (4) 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 (4) you want to do the analysis.
The data table can be exported to Excel (5)
