Data Collection Mode

Machines can collect downtime, production counts, scrap counts, and rework counts using these methods:

  • None: Data is not recorded.
  • Automatic: Data is captured in real-time through an OPC connection to the machine PLC.
  • Manual Real-Time: Users manually record the data in relative real-time (event-driven data collection).
  • Manual Retrospective: Users log data after completion, such as at the end of a production run or shift.
