Machine services:
This is the section where the technological process is set up and production times are automated. Here you define how the company's machines are involved in performing services in order to calculate the time and order of work.
How does this work:
- List of machines:
- Under each service (for example, cutting, edging) a list of machines that you have previously entered into the system is displayed.
- Machine selection:
- Using the “+” icon, you mark which machines can perform a specific service. For example, cutting chipboard can be done on a saw center or a hand saw.
- Chain of services:
- You specify which services must be performed before the current one. For example, drilling comes after cutting, and edging comes after drilling. This arranges the order of operations.
- Execution speed:
- For each machine, the operating speed is set in seconds.
- Example: a sawing center cuts 2,000 linear meters (linear meters) in an 8-hour shift. Calculation: 2000 linear meters ÷ (480 minutes × 60 seconds) = 0.69444 linear meters/sec. This figure is entered.
- Machine priority:
- If multiple machines are available for a service, you can specify which one to use first. For example, load the saw center first and then the hand saw. While this function is being finalized, it is enough to set priority “1” for the main machine.
Setting up machine services helps the system automatically calculate production deadlines, distribute tasks between equipment and take into account the sequence of work.
