Build the entity model

You can build an entity model in the System Platform IDE Model view by:

• Adding a Utilization Capability Object (UCO) under any area or application object (system, and device integration objects are not supported) to create an entity with utilization and OEE capabilities.

• Adding an Operations Capability Object (OCO) below any area or application object (all other system and device integration objects are not supported) to create an entity with job executions and storage capabilities.

• Adding a Sample Recording Object (SRO) under any area or application object (system and device integration objects are not supported) to record data for one or more characteristics and capture contextual information and result data.

When you add a UCO, OCO, or SRO object as a child to an application object in the IDE equipment model, Entity Model Builder creates an entity for all the parent application objects and area objects as depicted in the Equipment Model View tab. Therefore, the basic equipment structure in the Galaxy is created with the intention of duplicating the same structure in the MES database.

Entity Model Builder validates licensing while exporting the entity model. Make sure that the appropriate license count for Utilization, Operations, and Quality exists prior to running Entity Model Builder.
