Dashboards for Manufacturing

Analytics provides maintenance overview dashboards that allow you to drill down into your applications' data giving you a bigger picture into the work your organization is doing. *Note: Not all clients are eligible for Analytics. To learn if you are eligible, contact Client Services.

 

Your dashboard updates every morning with the current year's data through the previous day as well as two previous calendar years of data. You can see the Last Updated time stamp in the top left corner of your dashboard. *Note: Time shown is in Eastern time zone.

 

 

Within some dashboard tables you may be able to expand categories () to view a further breakdown of your data. Also keep an eye out for triangle icons () in the x- and y-axis titles of the dashboard charts. This indicates that there are other metrics that can be selected for that chart.

This dashboard sheds light into how assets are performing and clearly identifies where attention might be needed to keep your operations running smoothly. *Note: A downtime work order is considered a completed, non-PM work order that is attached to an asset.

 

       Bright Idea: 

Runtime is determined differently on the Asset Health dashboard and the Meter Readings dashboard:

  • On the Asset Health dashboard, Runtime is equal to the time since an asset was purchased or added to the system, assuming the asset runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  • On the Meter Readings dashboard, Runtime is determined using the meter readings that belong to the meter titles on an asset.

  • In both of these views, Uptime is then derived by subtracting Downtime from Runtime.

Overview

Displays the total number of completed downtime work orders, the sum of downtime, the total of mean time to repair (MTTR), and the total of mean time between failures (MTBF).

 

Asset Overview

Displays the number of completed downtime work orders by asset, problem, and cause, as well as the total cost of all downtime work orders per asset.

 

Downtime Overview

Displays the amount of downtime on completed work orders by cause, asset and problem.

 

 

The chart also displays the amount of downtime on completed work orders by request year, month, week, and day.

 

  • After selecting the Time tab at the top of the chart, you will see the data broken down by Request Year.
  • To drill down further to see the months, weeks, and days for a specific year, click on the appropriate year's bar in the chart.
  • Click the green checkmark to confirm your selection.
  • The graph will refresh and now be broken down by the months within that year.
  • You can continue to click on specific months, weeks, and days on the chart to drill the chart down even further.
  • To go back to a previous selection, click the appropriate 'Request' link () in the x-axis depending on how far you want to drill back. For example, if you have drilled down to show each month within the year 2019, and you want to go back to just showing each request year, then you would click Request Year in the x-axis label.

This dashboard gives a detailed view of meter reading data showing asset downtime and uptime which can help you identify problem assets.

 

       Bright Idea: 

Runtime is determined differently on the Asset Health dashboard and the Meter Readings dashboard:

  • On the Asset Health dashboard, Runtime is equal to the time since an asset was purchased or added to the system, assuming the asset runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  • On the Meter Readings dashboard, Runtime is determined using the meter readings that belong to the meter titles on an asset.

  • In both of these views, Uptime is then derived by subtracting Downtime from Runtime.

Meter Reading Summary

Meter Value Read by Date Read

Select a Meter (Meter Name and/or Meter Number) and an Asset (Asset Name and/or Asset Number) in the filter section in order for the graph to populate. This line graph contains four trendlines:

  • Value Read - represents the meter readings at different points in time.

  • Minimum Threshold - represents the user-defined minimum threshold for the selected meter.

  • Maximum Threshold - represents the user-defined maximum threshold for the selected meter.

  • Linear Trendline - appears as a dashed line on the chart and represents the best-fit regression line.

 

The slope, or incline, of the linear trendline is used to highlight meters that may be steadily approaching the minimum or maximum thresholds. For example, a linear trendline may reveal an increasing trend over time, whereas on a day by day basis, it may be difficult to see that values are steadily increasing.

 

The points on the line graph can be used to easily see when the meter reading is outside the set minimum or maximum thresholds. For example, if a meter measures the temperature of a certain asset, and the meter reading temperature value is above the threshold maximum during a certain time period, further investigation into the related work orders during that time period may help uncover if the asset was functioning optimally or needed a repair. Meter reading values that fall outside of the set thresholds, especially at an increasing rate, may also be a helpful leading indicator that an asset could be about to fail, and some preventive maintenance may be beneficial.

 

The linear trendline is derived by minimizing the sum of squared errors, or essentially minimizing the distance between the trendline and each actual value. The trendline is fit using the linear regression equation, y = mx + b.

 

Meter Reading Details

This table provides the raw data for the information displayed in the line graph. It displays several columns, including Asset Number, Asset Name, Meter Title Name, Date Read, Value Read, Threshold Min. and Threshold Max, as well as a color-coded status indicator. The average and standard deviation of the selected meter’s readings are also calculated and shown at the end of this table.

 

The Meter Title Name is color coded as either red, yellow, or green. The color of the meter title reflects the relationship between the meter readings and the user-defined thresholds.

  • Red : The meter readings have exceeded the minimum or maximum thresholds in the past 365 days.

  • Yellow : The meter readings have not exceeded the minimum and maximum thresholds but the slope of the linear trendline is either greater than 0.5 or less than -0.5, indicating that there is either a steep increase or steep decrease, respectively. This helps to highlight assets that may be steadily approaching either the minimum or maximum thresholds.

  • Green : The meter readings are relatively stable. The values have not exceeded the minimum and maximum thresholds and the slope of the linear trendline is between -0.5 and 0.5, meaning the trendline is not too steep.

 

  • The Average Value Read for Meter column calculates the average value for the meter over all time. This can be used to compare individual meter readings to the overall average, especially the most recent readings.

  • The Standard Deviation Value Read for Meter column calculates the standard deviation of the values read for the meter over all time. The standard deviation represents the amount of dispersion in a set of values. This statistic gives an estimate for how far individual meter reading values tend to be from the average meter reading value. Higher standard deviations indicate that the meter reading values tend to be more spread out, which could be useful in anticipating meters that may exceed threshold values. It is also worth noting that standard deviation tends to be more sensitive to outliers, or large spikes in the meter reading data, which could be used to highlight meters that have had significant spikes and need attention, even if they have not exceeded the user-defined thresholds.

 

Work Order Details

This table displays all the work orders related to the selected meter and includes the date created, date completed, description of the work, and whether the work order was a PM work order or a non-PM work order. This data gives you the ability to assess the amount of maintenance associated with an asset in light of the status of its associated meters. For example, assets that have meters that are in either red or yellow status may benefit from additional or more frequent preventive maintenance. You also have the ability to see if a preventive maintenance schedule was created in response to a meter exceeding one of the user-defined thresholds, based on the date of the meter reading and the date of the work order.
