Object Properties

Abstract MES Object Properties

The Operation Configuration Objects inherits these properties. Keep in mind that those objects also have specific properties to their object types.

 Name
R/W
Description
Name Read, Write Name of the MES object. This name is used when referencing the object. Must be unique name within its object type.
UUID Read-Only This is the Universally Unique Identifier for each instance of an MES object.
Enabled Read, Write Set to true when the MES object is active and usable. When MES objects are deleted they are retained in the database and the Enabled setting is set to false. This is done to maintain past traceability information.
Description Read, Write An optional setting to give more details for an MES object.

Complex Properties
Scripting
Description

Material Resource Property

 Material Any material lots that may be consumed or created during an operation derived from the process segment are defined here. There is no requirement to create material complex properties e.g. a maintenance process segment, and there is no restriction on how many input, output or consumable materials are defined for a process segment.

Equipment Resource Property

 Equipment A process segment requires one and only one Equipment complex property to be defined. this sets up production control on where this process segment can be executed. If you want to create a process segment that can occur on any piece of equipment e.g. 'Clean Equipment', set the equipment reference to an equipment class that contains all equipment.

Supplemental Equipment Resource Property

 SupplementalEquipment Mobile equipment that can be moved around such as bins, containers, die sets etc. cannot be defined in the production model as fixed equipment as defined by ISA-95. The MES Object Editor and scripting functions can be used instead to create Supplemental Equipment. Any supplemental equpiment that may be used by an operation can be defined here.

Personnel Resource Property

 Personnel Personnel complex properties allow to you add production control to a process segment by defining who can execute this process segment. This complex property is optional and can be left blank. 

Production Settings Property

 ProductionSettings

Production settings contain rate information that is used by the OEE module to calculate operational performance.

Success
In a T&T scenario that runs multiple segments in parallel, OEE production settings with different modes will override each other since they are all using the same mode value.
If multiple operations are running on the same piece of equipment, they will override each others OEE values since there is only one place to write the values. While this can be controlled inside of OEE with indexing, for T&T the situation is more generic and cannot be controlled.
If a segment is not configured for OEE but is set to end operation when complete, the OEE ending values will not be recorded.
It is not verified that the production settings of the ending segment match the production settings of the starting segment. It is simply verified whether or not the segment ending has OEE settings or not.
