Lines

Lines represent physical production lines made up of multiple machines. You can configure lines before configuring machines. However, if a line has only one machine, configure the standalone machine first before setting up the line.

A production line consists of machines that work together to transform materials into finished products. If a production line has multiple machines and does not include any optional or parallel machines, the production line is still modelled in Infor MES with one line section, as follows: Line ALine Section AMachines.

To view and configure lines, navigate to Configuration > Assets > Lines.

You can use these options on the Lines screen:

  • Add: Allows you to create a new line.
  • Edit: Allows you to modify the existing lines.
  • Delete: Allows you to delete the existing lines.
  • Retire: Allows you to retire the existing lines. You cannot record data on retired lines. Retired lines can be excluded from reports unless included in the report’s filter options.
  • Line Section: Allows you to view and configure line sections within the lines.
