Using the Production Monitor

The production monitor operates largely on the basis of the production instructions. However, it has different modes:

  • In Normal mode, you select an item, enter the quantity, and start production.
  • In MRP mode, the list is filled using requests from the MRP monitor. Items can be selected as total quantities or partial quantities. If several production monitors are used, employees can share the production tasks.
  • In Hold mode, you can create a parts list with the items you need to produce. With this list you can take the items out of stock and equip the kitchen post.

All elements are optimized for touchscreen operation and allow convenient production control.

Since you can store weight tolerances for each work step, consumption tolerances occur at the end of a production run. The CONTROLLER is informed about the actual consumption and accordingly more or less goods are transferred into the production.

 

Start Produce from the Controllerprogram group.
