How to add scrap reasons

SUMMARY

Use this guide to configure scrap reasons for a manual scrap counter. Scrap reasons allow operators to specify why products were scrapped when recording scrap during production.

WHEN TO USE THIS

  • Use this guide if:
    • You want operators to record different scrap reasons.

PREREQUISITES

    • A manual scrap counter has already been added to the line.
    • You have permission to edit line settings.

STEPS

  1. Open the virtual device.
  2. Create an additional scrap sensor for each scrap reason you want to record.
  3. Give each sensor a meaningful name.
  4. Add each sensor to the production line as a Scrap sensor in the line settings.
  5. Save the line configuration.
