Display Point Examples: PRT Planning

Here is an example of a point set to display at an operator's workstation in the appliance factory. When a refrigerator comes down the line on the conveyor belt, the operator reads the CimView screen that tells him if an electrical unit is required. This particular display uses text only.

Example 1 A point set to display at an operator workstation in production.
Example 2 A point is set to display graphically at an operator's workstation.
Example 3 Display point list.

Example 1. A point set to display at an operator workstation in production.

1 Sensor
2 Point set to display at an operator's workstation.
3 When the value is 0, the refrigerator needs an electrical unit added.

Example 2. A point is set to display graphically at an operator's workstation.

In this example, a Quality Control station graphically displays point values. As the dryers move through the station, the operator reads the interface that is color-coded to provide information during inspection. Here, the graphic display helps the operator spot problems quickly while inspecting the unit.
