Configuring Time Model¶

One of the fundamental concepts of OEE is the “Time Model”. “Time Model” is a representation of the production time and different downtimes of a plant.

Prerequisite¶

To configure the time model, it is important to understand the basic concepts from the section Time Model.

User interface¶

In “Insights Hub OEE” application, the following are the three main time categories:

• Production Time
• Planned Stop
• Downtimes

It is required to create time categories, assigned to one of these main categories, to best represent the split of time for our machine or line.

In the Insights Hub OEE application, it is only possible to create one time model. Otherwise, the data cannot be compared between different lines and machines, if they are built upon different time models.

It is best to carefully consider which time categories should be included in the time model. Once they are created and reason trees or status mappings are built on the underlying time model, the user should avoid removing time categories. Otherwise, this would lead to data inconsistencies afterward.

While creating the time categories, consider the major time category to which they should belong.

① Navigates to the “Configuration” tab
② Adds the new “Time Category”
③ Deletes the existing “Time Category”
④ Navigates to the next step
⑤ Displays the current step
⑥ Navigates to the previous step

Procedure¶

To create a new time category in each major time category, proceed as follows:

1. From the navigation tab, click “Configuration” and select “Time Model”.
2. In “Time Model”, click “Add Time Category”.
3. In each major time category, select a representing color for each time category.
   

4.Enter “Name” and “Description” for the time category.
