MES Schedule View

Description

This component provides a powerful and easy way to provide a user with the ability to schedule manufacturing operations and view their progress. Production operations can automatically be created from work orders or any operation such as Maintenance, Cleaning etc. (configured using the MES Object Editor) can be scheduled. This component handles the creation of Request Objects behind the scenes and automatically updates the schedule status. Extension functions and component properties provide great flexibility in customizing the look and operation of this component.

Componenent Palette

This component can be found on the Production component palette and is installed with the production-module.modl which is licensed with either the OEE 2.0 or Track & Trace modules.

Begin Operation Automatically

To begin operation automatically based on the schedule, ensure a Trigger Operation Begin Property is configured with Auto set to True and the Mode set to "Schedule (time)". Then, the schedule entry will automatically start the appropriate response objects based on the schedule.

Mode/State Icons

The icons displayed next to the equipment names are equipment mode/state icons. See Equipment Modes and Equipment States for more information.

Features

Drag & Drop Scheduling

You can drag rows from a power table or the MES Work Order Table to this component to simplify work order scheduling.

Step	Description
1	Set the Row Dragging Enabled property of the MES Work Order Table to True in the designer.
2	Select the desired row in the Work Order or power table and drag it onto the equipment item you wish to schedule it for on the MES Schedule View component. In this example Line 1 production item is configured for Cane Sugar. A scheduling window will appear as shown below.
3	Provide the duration or the production count of the schedule. Select the Schedule tab to view the new schedule. Click Save.
4	The schedule entry you just created will be displayed as shown.

Add Custom Menu Items

The User Menu Items property allows custom menu items to be added. These menu options become available in the client allowing users to right-click on schedule entries displayed in the Schedule view component. Custom script can then be added to the userMenuItemClicked event handler to add functionality to this component.

Steps	Description
1	Click the icon on the User Menu Items property and add your custom menu items. See the User Menu Item property for help on the dataset columns.
2	Add your custom script to the userMenuItemItemClicked event handler. The following script changes the category of the operations schedule when the user selects one of the user menu items. The event.getMenuItemName() returns the MenuName for the user menu item selected by the user. It can be used in the script to handle each user menu item differently. event.getScheduleEntry() returns the schedule entry object that the user clicked on when selecting the user menu item. The script shown in the image handles two different user menu items: Hold and Release Hold. if(event.getMenuItemName() == 'Hold'): uuid = event.getScheduleEntry().getMESOperationsScheduleLink().getMESObjectUUID() system.mes.changeScheduleCategory(uuid, 'Held') elif(event.getMenuItemName() == 'Release Hold'): uuid = event.getScheduleEntry().getMESOperationsScheduleLink().getMESObjectUUID() system.mes.changeScheduleCategory(uuid, 'Active') print event.getScheduleEntry()
3	When a user now clicks on a schedule entry, the following menu items appear.

User Menu Items

Dataset

Dataset that stores user menu items.

Column	Description
EntryName	Provides a method to only show the user menu items for schedule entry that match the pattern entered. The * and ? characters can be used in the pattern. Examples: 'Operation ', 'Packing Schedule'.
ScheduleCategory	Category of the operations schedule object. It is used in the userMenuItemClicked event to identify which category the selected user menu item belongs to.
MenuName	Text to appear when the user menu item is shown. It is also used in the userMenuItemClicked event to identify which user menu item the user selected.
MenuIcon	Can be set to a path of an image to display in the user menu item or left blank.

Data

Multiple filters can be used, and the components will only show equipment that matches all the combined filters.

If no filters are selected, the MES Schedule View component will attempt to gather data for and show ALL equipment, which can inadvertently cause system performance degradation in large factory settings with lots of equipment. Therefore, if there are more than 10 applicable equipment items, an error will be thrown. More than 10 applicable equipment items can be shown only if one or more of the equipment-related filters is utilized.

Dataset

Dataset that stores entry appearance configuration. For each value you enter, a state is created. For example, you can see below that there are 16 values in the Dataset Viewer which corresponds to the 16 category and state combinations on the Schedule View component. Each state belongs to a category, the categories inbuilt on Ignition are Active and Actual. The Active includes the schedule that is currently active and the Actual includes those which have completed. You can add your own categories, 'Held' is added in the given example.

Color of the entry is determined by BackgroundColor. ForegroundColor will decide the color of the text. NormalBorderColor is the boundary color for an unselected state. Color for the border of selected state is given by the SelectedBorderColor.
