Production console is an easy to use interface for workstation operators. It shows the work that needs to be done at a particular workstation as well as work in progress. It is typically used on computers that are situated close to a workstation so that operators can log the time it takes to process a mark or mark item (or other type of work order).
Initially, the production console shows the work that is to be done on all workstations, but you can carry out a simple, one-time-only setup to show work that is to be done on one particular workstation.
After the setup, for any mark or mark item, you can:
§ Move material to the next process
§ Use Start and Stop buttons to have the production console record the time that you spent on processing marks and mark items. The information is used to produce a timesheet for each machine operator and times and costs are fed into the contract budget.
Access
You can access the production console through the menu system (from the sidebar menu, go to Production > Production Console) or by logging into STRUMIS with a Production Console Edition licence.
