Automatic vs. Manually generated reports
The report manager can be configured to either automatically generate
reports based on a time interval (from 1-8760 hours) or manually generate
reports based on “Jobs”. This option is up to the user and can be
configured using the following:
Frequency of Reports
Automatic reports are usually used when the user runs the same product
on their lines or are not concerned with documenting each product run.
The data generated is easier to manage because of the frequency of the
report.
Manually generated reports (Job Reports) are usually used when the user
wants to document every product run and what went into that run. This is
very powerful for the health and food industry, but can be overwhelming for
normal users. The reports can pile up quicker than someone can process
the data depending on how many job changes the machine performs.
However, there are some unique advantages when using Job Reports.
The operator accesses the Job Report Manager from by double clicking on
the icon of the device from the main page and then clicking “Job Report
Manager”. From here they can start or stop the job and enter in the
following data that is not available when using automatically generated
reports:
• Job Number
• Material Reference Number, Lot number, and Silo Number
