Machines

Machines are pieces of equipment in the factory that performs one or more production operations. Machines have multiple properties that are important to configure correctly. If a production line has only one machine assigned, the machine is considered as a stand-alone machine. This machine carries out all necessary operations to process the production order.

To view and configure machines, navigate to Configuration > Assets > Machines.
