Operations Console
The Operations Console is the real-time view for shop floor operators and supervisors. It consolidates the current shift’s OEE, downtime events, alarms, and shift notes into a single screen, and lets operators categorise downtime and add shift notes without leaving the page.
Navigate there via Operations → Operations Console in the top navigation bar.
Selecting a line
Section titled “Selecting a line”When you first open the Operations Console, select a Line from the dropdown in the page header. The console will load data for the most recently started shift on that line and will periodically fetch updated data.
If no shifts have been defined for the selected line, the console shows an empty state prompting you to set up a shift configuration (schedule).
Page layout
Section titled “Page layout”The console is divided into three columns:
| Column | Contents |
|---|---|
| Current Shift Status | OEE gauge, product count vs target, total downtime, recent alarms |
| Downtime Events | Tabular list of downtime events recorded during the current shift |
| Shift Details | Staffing log, shift notes, and handover notes from the previous shift |
Current shift status
Section titled “Current shift status”Shift header
Section titled “Shift header”At the top of the page, the current shift name and start time are displayed alongside the line selector. The Product field shows the product currently being produced:
- If production tags identify the product automatically, it appears with an “Automatically Detected” label.
- To override this, click the edit icon next to the product name, select a product from the dropdown, and save. Overriding the product changes which target run rate is used for the OEE calculation.
OEE gauge
Section titled “OEE gauge”The OEE gauge shows the three OEE components — Availability, Performance, and Quality — for the current shift. The gauge updates as new production and downtime data arrives.
Stats cards
Section titled “Stats cards”Below the gauge, two stat cards summarise the shift at a glance:
- Products — the number of products counted so far in the shift along with an indication of how far ahead or behind the target the production is.
- Total Downtime — the cumulative stopped duration for the current shift.
Recent alarms
Section titled “Recent alarms”A table at the bottom of the status column shows the most recent alarm events for the current shift. Each row shows the alarm time, alarm name, and whether the alarm is currently Active (red) or Cleared (green).
Downtime events
Section titled “Downtime events”The middle column lists all downtime events recorded during the current shift. Each row shows:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Start Time | Local time when the downtime began |
| Duration | Length of the downtime event |
| Category | Downtime category, shown with its icon (e.g. mechanical, electrical). Unassigned events show a question mark. |
| Cause | The specific downtime cause within that category |
| Status | Whether the event is Auto-Assigned, Classified, or Unassigned |
Editing a downtime event
Section titled “Editing a downtime event”Click any row in the downtime table to open the Edit Downtime Event modal. From here you can:
- Select a Category from the configured downtime categories.
- Select a Cause within that category.
- Select a Location where the downtime occurred (optional).
- Add optional free-text Details for additional context.
Save the form to update the event. Changes are reflected immediately in the table.
Shift details
Section titled “Shift details”The right column is used for recording notes about the shift and reviewing handover information from the previous shift.
Staffing section
Section titled “Staffing section”The collapsible Staffing section shows all log entries of type Staffing entered for the current shift. These are intended for recording staffing information, such as absences.
Shift notes
Section titled “Shift notes”The Shift Notes table shows log entries of type General Note and Production Constraint. Each entry shows the time it was created, its type badge (GN for General Note, PC for Production Constraint), the note text, and the name of the user who created it.
Click the edit icon on any row to update the note text or type, or the delete icon to remove it.
Adding a note
Section titled “Adding a note”Click + Add Note to open the log entry modal. Fill in:
- Log Type — choose from General Note, Staffing, or Production Constraint.
- Note — the text content of the entry.
- Handover Note — check this box to mark the entry as a handover note. It will appear to operators on the next shift when they open that line in the console.
Handover notes from previous shift
Section titled “Handover notes from previous shift”If the previous shift had any entries marked as handover notes, a badge indicator appears next to the Shift Details heading showing the count. Click the badge icon to open a modal that displays those notes.
