How do I configure the KPI: Capacity Utilization?
Start in the Admin app, and select the machine you need. From the KPI panel on the machine page, click on the menu option ‘Configuration’ for Capacity Utilization. You will then be taken to the configuration page. Here you need to select appropriate sensors to provide suitable input data for each part of the formula:
CU = (Actual machine rate / Maximum machine rate) * 100
1. Actual machine rate: This sensor needs to supply data indicating the
actual number of products being produced at that moment. The value of
this sensor should be expressed as 'per second'.
2. Maximum machine rate: This sensor needs to supply data indicating
the maximum possible rate at that moment. In food machinery for example
this will change depending on the product type which the machine is
producing at that moment. The value of this sensor should be expressed
as 'per second'.
3. The thresholds panel allows you to set up cautionary and emergency
thresholds. You will then receive a daily notification if the KPI value for
the previous 24 hours falls below a target. It works in a very similar
way to the threshold function in the sensor settings.
4. The target panel allows you to define the desired value for the KPI.
Once this is done, you have enough to click save, upon which your KPI will become active.
