Adjusting Production Run Data

Production values are recorded automatically through values passed via tag collectors, such as counts and status, and those values set by the OEE engine, such as Mode, Standard Rate, shift etc.

The MES Value Editor component allows for these collected production values to be edited or deleted and for new values to be inserted (with or without updating the values of subsequent entries to reflect the count value change caused by the new entry).

This provides an easy method for correcting production values where the line was set to the wrong mode, line was recorded as running when it was in fact down, production counts are off, or the wrong product code or work order was selected.

Tag Collector Types

Recall that production values such as equipment modes, states and counts are recorded 24/7. Tag collectors will not record values if the equipment item is not enabled in the production model. If the recorded values need to be modified as production counts were off or the line mode was captured as Maintenance when it should have been Production, these scripting functions or the MES Value Editor component, can be used to correct the values.

The Tag Collector Types are used by the MES Value Editor component and the script functions listed below to read and modify production values recorded via tag collector paths and by the OEE engine.

Each tag collector type may have a different datatype and some tag collector types have a key (where there is more than one stored value for the tag collector type). Examples of these would be MES Counters, where the Tag Collector Type Equipment Count would have the default Material Out and any other user added mes counter names. Additional Factors would also use the key to distinguish between the user defined additional factors.

The Equipment State tag collector has an additional parameter called the Auxiliary Value. The getTagCollectorValue() and updateTagCollectorValue() have an overloaded function to handle the auxiliary value name for this tag collector type.

Scripting Functions for Tag Collectors

OEE Rates are stored as "per minute"

The Sepasoft OEE module always stores rates (including the Standard Rate) in "per minute" equivalent, in order to streamline functionality (regardless of the units set in GUI-based components such as the OEE Material Manager). However, when utilizing the Tag Collector, you are storing values directly to the database, so you must convert the values to "per minute" before writing values to these tags. Rate values in the Value Editor will also be "per minute".

Item

When there are multiple values within a tag collector, this specifies which one to show. As an example, there can be multiple MES counters for the Equipment Count tag collector type. If not needed, pass an empty string. In other words it is the name of the MES counter or the name of the Additional Factor.
