How to configure products for batch tracking

WHEN TO USE THIS

• Use this guide if:
  • You want to use products as presets during batch creation
  • Different products on the same line require different targets or speeds
  • You need product-specific performance tracking
  • You want to configure product parameters for changeover tracking

PREREQUISITES

• Before starting:
  • You must have access to the line settings and Batch tab
  • You should know the expected speed, validated speed, and multiplier values for the product
  • Each product must have a unique item number

STEPS

1. Open the line where you want to configure products.
2. Go to the Batch tab.
3. Click + button and then Manage products.
4. Click Add product.
5. Enter a unique Item number for the product.
6. Enter the Product name.
7. Configure the Expected speed.
   • This value is used to calculate planned production performance.
8. Configure the Validated speed.
   • This value is used for validated production targets.
9. Configure the Data multiplier.
   • Use the multiplier that matches how production data should be counted for the product.
10. (Optional) Add custom product parameters.
    • Examples:
      • Barcode
      • Material size
      • Packaging material
11. Review the product configuration.
12. Click Save.
     

EXPECTED RESULT

• After completing these steps:
  • The product is available when creating batches
  • Product-specific speeds and multipliers are automatically applied during batch creation
  • Product parameters can be used for changeover tracking and reporting
     

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Issue: The product cannot be saved
  • Try: Verify that the item number is unique
  • Try: Confirm that all required fields are completed
     
• Issue: The product does not appear during batch creation
  • Try:Refresh the page
  • Try:Confirm the product was saved on the correct line
     
• Issue: Historical batch performance changed unexpectedly
  • Try: Check whether the product speed or multiplier was recently updated
  • Try: Remember that changing product speeds or multipliers updates past batches using that product
