MES Schedule View - Perspective

Sepasoft MES Module Suite

MES Schedule View in Perspective

Installed with the Production Module.

If the property filters are left as Default, the MES Schedule View component gathers data for ALL equipment.

In the use-case with lots of equipment, degradation of system performance can occur if All equipment is returned. To avoid this the system will throw an error if there are more than 10 applicable equipment items. More than 10 applicable equipment items can be shown only if one or more of the equipment-related filters is utilized.

Styling available in version 3.81.10 SP2 and later.

Use MES Schedule View to View and Schedule Manufacturing Operations.

Automatically create production operations from work order or a material name.
Schedule non-production operations such as maintenance, cleaning and training (See MES Object Editor)

This component handles the creation of Request Objects behind the scenes and automatically updates schedule status. Extension functions and component properties provide flexibility in customizing the look and operation of this component.

See below:

Splitting a Schedule

Right clicking on a scheduled entry provides the option to Split Schedule. This separates the operation from its parent operation allowing independent schedules.

This option is available to routes with more than one operation and are in the Pending Execution state.

Reschedule Remaining

Right clicking on a scheduled entry provides the option to Reschedule Remaining for operations that prematurely ended. This enables the operation to be quickly rescheduled.

This option is available to any operation that is in the Completed Execution state.

Begin Operation Automatically

To begin operation automatically based on the schedule, ensure a Trigger Operation Begin Property is configured with Auto set to True and the Mode set to "Schedule (time)". Then, the schedule entry will automatically start the appropriate response objects based on the schedule.

Component Properties

Properties are provided that can be set to affect the operation and look of the component. They can be set through the Perspective Property Editor in the Designer or through scripting. Note that the section prefix is included before the property name (props, position, custom or meta).
