Metrics draws data from other modules to calculate real-time Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and present this information in graphical dashboard displays.
This module is typically used to show instantaneous measures such as Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), Yield, or Energy Consumption per Output Unit. Additionally, it can show the trend of these measures over time so that management can gauge the effect of improvement initiatives or operational changes.
How does AVEVA Production Management calculate Metrics data?
AVEVA™ Production Management calculates Metrics through use of the following elements.
|
A Metrics reporting point stores the configuration for dashboards and KPI formulas. |
|
|
A field defines the algorithm and data that feed into the dashboard. |
|
|
A formula is made up of simple algebraic-style equations and empty data tags. When you link a formula to a KPI, the formula supplies the underlying calculation for the KPI to perform. |
|
|
A capture condition defines the condition that occurs to initiate a data capture. In Metrics, this condition is based on the selected period definitions; for example, per Day or per Shift. |
|
|
A dashboard item in Studio provides a link to an IIS Server and an external Web page that contains the dashboard components. |
|
|
Beneath each Metrics KPI are the field resolvers. These tags represent fields that you can link to their data sources. |
|
|
A threshold can be configured to apply colored highlighting to Metrics fields when data is over specified threshold. |
