Live View 4.2
Live
The Live View window is a real-time representation of the plant floor. With this view, you see the Current Status of every Station/Asset in the plant in real-time. Stations are updated automatically without having to refresh the window.
Layout Types
The Live View Layout can be configured to represent a layout, table, the sequential view, object tree, and other types of basic views.
Below is a few examples of how the Live View Layout can be configured.
Object Tree + Factory
Factory Floor Only Layout
Sequential with Statistics
Legacy 3.6 Layout
Table Chart Style
Basic Shape Layout
Color Coding
The color coding is based on message type, and not internal States. Messages are set up in the administration section. The user will have to have Administration rights to make changes to the message statuses.
The default colors can be changed by selecting the edit icon. From there you could use the color palette to change the color of the code to one of yours desired.
This will change the color of the box asset object, the messages color in the cycle browser, at the bottom of the screen the messages for blocked and starved and other if you change those to a different color.
Object Details
The Connected Objects on the layout browser have an accessible window with dashboards and 3 Shift Offloads available. On dashboard creation, the dashboard is tagged with a system tag which will make it available the view in the Live Layout.
Once the user clicks on the object, a window will appear where the available Dashboard can be placed.
This window contains two tabs, a tab for the dashboards, and a tab for the offloads.
Dashboard Tab
The Dashboard tab will contain a library of Dashboard available in the Live Layout area. To have a dashboard appear here in the Live Layout, the dashboard’s author, must tag the dashboard with the “layout” tab in order to appear here in the Layout, when an asset is click upon.
Offload Tab
The Offload tab will contain a 3-shift hourly offload table chart. This displays each shift with an hourly offload count for each hour. Below each offload, will be a Target.
If the offload is less than the target, the offload background will display in red. If the offload meets or exceeds the target, then it will display a green background. The Current Hour will remain black until the hour has expired. Then it will display the results as Under or Over performing.
Threshold Settings
The offload table can be configured to display different colors for different levels of output. This can be done by setting an upper, middle, and lower Threshold Value.
In this example above and to the right, the color green would represent the target has been fulfilled. Blue would mean that the target has been exceeded. Yellow (yellow) represents that the target is near or within a certain amount of the set target efficiency. and the color red would mean that it's underperforming below. the lower threshold.
In Live Layout Tab, there is the Cycle section. The Cycle section is a table list that contains the last five cycles of every station. It will display the Station Name, Current Status, the Designed Baseline, the last cycle time, and the last five cycles recorded.
The Columns can all be sorted by time or name ascending or descending.
Cycle 1 will be the latest cycle whereas Cycle 5 would be a historical cycle, or 5 Cycles earlier.
10 Cycle Display
To view 10 of the last cycles instead of 5, simply click on the 10 Cycles check circle. The action will expand the Cycles Table to a 10 cycle sample.
History Display
At the far left side of the table, there is a drop down available to open a history display of the Asset selected.
The history display defaults to a bar chart similarly to the cycle view browser’s history display. It will display all the available cycles for that day. The user can zoom in or out using the scroll feature of the mouse or simply click hold and dragging over the area you want to zoom into.
The flow of the chart is from right to left, as opposed to left to right up in the table chart.
The user also has an option to view the history display as a line chart with model display as seen below by selecting the bar line switch in the upper right side of the history display panel chart.
Filter
The user can use the filter feature by selecting the icon in the upper right-hand side the Last Five Cycles window. This will open the Object Tree where you can select the object you would like to view.
Simply drill down to the objects you would like to view and ensure that they are selected. Then click Apply. This will display all your selections. Click the X in the selection window to close it. It will remain open until you do.
Last Cycle Details
The Live Cycle status displays the list of the Assets of the Last cycle that occurred, with detailed information based on your object selection.
The Chart displays the Asset, the Date and Time with the Last Cycle Timer (to the right), the Cycle Length, Baseline, Model Name, Model Type, Pallet, Part Number, Asset, Group, and OP Statuses.
This is a live table chart, that is updated in real-time.
Building and Editing a Layout
The editing toolbox will contain all the parameters in elements of the live layout.
Editing Toolbox
To start, click the edit button in the upper left-hand side of the live layout window. This will open an editing screen layout. On the left-hand side of this editing window, will be the editing toolbox. This contains parameter sections for lines, stations, assets, connect to data objects, dashboards, and general items. All these items can be used to make a simple layout of the factory.
This palette can be moved anywhere on the editing window, by simply clicking and holding the top of the toolbox and dragging it to where you would like to place it.
Top Editing Ribbon
This menu contains the tools to color and configure the items that are placed on the layout. It starts with and redo option.
To the right is a font and font size selection.
Color Palette
Further to the right is the parameter color palette. With these palettes, you can choose the color of the fonts, the line color around the object you place, and the color fill color of the object selected.
If you know the color code number it can be simply copied and pasted in the number section, then click okay.
Zoom/View Setting
When the layout is first open in the editing mode, the scale of the layout is auto zoomed to fit all the content of the rendered layout.
When building a layout, the user can zoom in to layout which can make it easier in building the layout.
The layout is default to the Auto Zoom by Content. With every added object, the layout will auto center to the content of the layout.
Object Selection
LINES
In the lines tab, will be all the line objects that are available in ePVS for your selected Plant or Area. These objects are automatically configured and connected to the objects of the line.
All the Line, Station, and Asset level objects are active objects, which means based upon the message being produced an enSight, the color of the object changes to match the current message status. If multiple messages are present them it will color itself based upon priority, example a fault will display over a block or starved message status.
STATIONS
In the station tab, will be a list of all the stations of every line available. If there are three lines, then all the station within the three lines will be available there. They will be listed with the line designation before the station designation. This will help in clarifying the objects title.
ASSETS
In the station tab, will be a list of all the stations of every line available. If there are three lines, then all the station within the three lines will be available there. They will be listed with the line designation before the station designation. This will help in clarifying the objects title.
COMPONENT OPTIONS
The components section is where the additional features for the live view will be placed. These additions will be added over time.
Message
The message feature will allow user to select certain messages to be displayed. This will override the all message display and display only the messages that are configured to show by the user.
To perform this feature, go to the components Tab and click and hold and drag the message box to the editing window. From here go to the upper right hand side and select the edit icon to open up the table of messages. From there it's like the messages you would like to be displayed in the message section. Select save and run. The window will now reload with this feature active. Special note: the fault will appear on the bottom where the messages are usually held. The message will scroll from right to left with an active counter. At the same time the mess
age box will also change colors to represent the message state. So if this is our fault the Box will turn red and the fault will appear in the message area.
Last N Cycles Module
The Last N Cycles is a table graph that will display one or more assets with information on the Last Cycle Time, Baseline, Total Cycles, Min/Max Cycle Length, Average Cycle Length, and Overcycle percentage.
Configuring Last N Cycles
To configure, go to the Live Layout tab, then click the Edit Layout button to go into the editing mode. Go to the Component tab of the Editing Menu. Open and select the Last N Cycles, the click and drag it onto the Main Display. Size it to your desire.
Click on the edit icon in the upper right hand side of the Last N Cycle Card. It will now open the configuration setup.
On the left hand side is an Object Tree Filter. Use this feature to select the Asset you would like to display in the table chart. If you would like to change it the name of the asset that was selected you can click on the alias button to the right.
On the right hand side on the right hand side, select the number of cycles you would like to view, with the choice of five, or 10 cycles. The display of the cycle time can be viewed as home numbers but is defaulted to show decimal points for detail.
Now select the columns you would like to show, such as last cycle time, baseline, total cycles, minimum and maximum length, average cycle length, and over cycle percentage.
Now you can sort by default or the last cycle time.
If all assets are gonna be selected the user can now select the top numbers of assets to the be displayed.
Previous\Current Shift Offload Module
This option displays the Previous and Current shifts on display cards. It will show the current output, with the Target offloads below. This feature will refresh every 15 seconds.
SPECIAL NOTE: These Shift Cards may read different than a Offload by Hour totals, due to the read there data at different time intervals.
Also ensure that the target efficiency is set.
Setting Target Efficiency in Scheduling Module
Ensure that the target efficiency is set here. If it is not set here, then the target for the Offload modules will be set to the static number (0 default) in the Objects and Relationships section.
Offload Targets Tab
The Offload Targets tab will contain a table of the UTC hour and the Local hour. And far to the right, will be the Target that can be set by the user. Simply click on the target area and input the number or target you would like to set.
Worst Asset By States Module
the worst asset by state module can be installed anywhere on the live view layout. It is done so by going into the edit layout button. From there go to the menu and go into the component section Click to expose the component subtab. From there click hold and drag the module out to the editing window. From there click on the edit icon in the upper right hand side of the module.
The configure worst state window will appear. First select an output type. You have a choice of blocked, starved, blocked and starved, downtime, and over cycle,. Rejects will be coming soon in the near future.
Next select if you wanna show it as parts by clicking on the show as parts toggle.
The user can click on the filter button to determine which assets you would like to be included in the graphing. Deselect the assets you would like to omit then click the save button, then click the X to close this exclude assets window.
Now check over your selections then click the save I can to close and finish the configure worst state window.
After you've completed click the save and run at the top left side of the layout editing window.
CONNECTED DATA OBJECTS
The Connected Data Objects are a collection of tables, parameters, informational placards, and the ability to link to an external URL.
The Connected Data Objects also are a collection of graphing platforms, utilizing Table Charts, single parameters, and other informational information placards.
Offload by Hour (Shift Offload)
The shift offload parameter can be placed next to an asset object, then connected from the asset to the shift offload parameter. With the parameters connected, click the Save and Run button. A few moments later, the shift offload placard will display the shift offload for the asset you are connected to.
Offload by Hour and (Last 3 Shifts)
These table charts are prebuilt to be placed at a Pay Point and will show the Offload at the Pay Point.
This table chart shows the Offloads by Hour and with an option for the last 3 shifts. Below the offload is the Target. The Target is set in the Administration section.
Drag, Drop, and Connect
In editing mode, simply drag, drop, and connect the Data Object to an asset (as seen below).
Offload with Rejects
Last 12 Hours
The last 12 hours will show the current active hour plus the previous 11 hours. When the next hour comes about tama, the shift and hours will change to the next hour from 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM in the first column.
External URL
The user can insert an External URL that can link to dashboard or an article on the web.
Drag the External URL object on to the Main Window. Then click to edit the object, the Paste the URL in the object. Click Save and Run to finish.
The URL can now be clicked on to go to the site installed.
Shift Offload
This parameter will display the total shift offload of the Asset that it is tethered to.
JPHConnected Object
The JPH Object will display the amount of Jobs Per Hour and the Percentage rate.
Rejects, Blocked, Starved, and Faulted
These parameters can be place near the asset and then connected to by the asset.
When ran, the parameter will display the number of occurrences, and the total amount of time that the asset accumulated.
Last Cycle Datetime
This parameter can be placed at any asset object. Good practice would be to place the last cycle date time parameter at the beginning and the end and various places within the factory line. This could be a good way to tell if problems will start to arise such as blocks and starved situations.
An example would be that you're in time should be later than an upstream time. If the end time is earlier than that object is running behind.
Last Model, Last Pallet, Part # (Number), and Buffer
This parameter can be placed at any asset object. Good practice would be to place this parameter at a problem area where bottlenecks and starved conditions. This could be a good way to tell if a certain model is causing problems such as blocks and starved situations.
An example would be that if an object was in a blocked condition, the user can view which model is in process, and monitor to see if future identical model is causing an issue.
DASHBOARD
The dashboard tablet contains several dashboards that are designated by tag to appear in the live view layout. If a dashboard section is not populated, then there has not been any dashboards tag for this layout.
To install a dashboard on screen, simply select a Dashboard from the Collection, then click and hold, then drag it to the editing window. Once there, the user can size it to the scale you would like.
When constructing the dashboard, ensure that the fonts as well as the sizing or scaling are correct for a smaller version.

The Show as Parts graph has been configured to show up to five of the worst performing assets for the Blocked, Starved, Overcycle, and Downtime for parts.
Show in Minutes
The separate charge option will allow the user to configure the sidebar to view like the 3.6 live view from the previous version of ePVS.
Pay Points Only
This option will only allow the Pay Points designated, to be shown in this graph. However, clicking on the Full Screen mode will open all the assets for display.
Previous/Current Shift Cards
This option displays the Previous and Current shifts on display cards. It will show the current output, with the Target offloads below. This feature will refresh every 15 seconds.
SPECIAL NOTE: These Shift Cards may read different than a Offload by Hour totals, due to the read there data at different time intervals.
Show as Parts
Show in Minutes
Configuring the Previous/Current Shift Cards
To configure this option simply select the slider to this turn on. The user will now have to click on the dropdown and select the assets that you would like to display in the cards. Multiple assets can be chosen, as it will add them together and display. Normally the user would select the current pay point for this line.
Special note: all the assets for the Area will be in this list, so there may be duplicates from other Lines or Stations. Make your selection and check it to the data from the live view or Home Screen in the Offload section. Click on the pay point on the live view and view the current and previous totals on the three shift offload table.
