Plant view (section Monitoring) shows the machines in your factory with live production data.
If it is the first time you open Plant view, you will see general settings such as regimes and machine efficiency parameters. You can edit the settings or save the suggested defaults and come back later.
Plant view has different view types: Grid view, List view, Physical view. Select a view with the dropdown box in the top right corner. The physical view has to be configured before it can be used.
Views
Grid view
This view shows machines in a grid.
Each machine is represented by a 'machine card'. See the Machine cards article for more information.
Groups are shown as cards with the icon 
. To configure groups, refer to Machine grouping.
The tabs on top categorize machines by their state: All machines, Running machines, Stopped machines and Disconnected machines.
To open a group, click the group card (
). To return to the previous group or the overview, click the group name or 'Overview' in the breadcrumb row on top. Example: Overview > Plant B. More information about the breadcrumb bar here.
List view
This view is a sortable table with fixed columns (monitoring data and current setup) and a row per machine.
The table can be sorted:
- To sort the table, click a column name.
- To sort on multiple columns, press and hold CTRL and select more column names. First click is ascending sort, next click descending and another click stops sorting. The sort order is indicated with arrows in the column header.
Columns can be pinned to the left or right:
- In the column, click
, point to Pin column and select where to pin.
Physical view
In this view, machines can be positioned as preferred.
Each machine is represented by a 'machine card'. See the Machine cards article for more information.
Groups are shown as cards with the icon . It is optionally possible to define a background image for each group, e.g. the floor plan of the department, so that you can position the machines alike.
The tabs on top categorize machines by their state: All machines, Running machines, Stopped machines and Disconnected machines.
This view is initially empty. All machines are shown in the All machines tab under Unpositioned machines and groups on top. First define your groups, add machines and optionally the group background image: refer to Machine grouping.
To add machines or groups to the floor plan, drag the machines one by one from Unpositioned machines and groups to the floor plan and position them the way you like. If you use a background image, position them according their physical location. Keep some spacing between the machines.
NOTE: Use machine grouping to remove machines. Refer to Machine grouping.
