Station Group

Context:

Stations are the core monitored assets (lines, machines, manual operations); station groups organise them for scalable management.

Importance:

Station definitions are essential for linking real-time signals, aggregating performance at group/plant scale, and filtering all dashboard and analytics views. Assigning to groups enables line-/area-level insights.

Setup:

Create logical groups of stations under Admin > Station Groups. Grouping helps batch similar lines/cells for better scheduling and analysis.

STATION GROUP SETUP

Code

Mandatory, can’t be edited once the station is saved.

Name

Mandatory, can be edited if required.

ASSIGNMENT

In all cases this will apply to the entire Station Group and there is no way to alter this without removing or adding a station to the group. One Station cannot be in two station groups.

FEATURE FLAGS

Schedule Station flexibility allows you to hide schedules from other Station Groups if your operation requires this.

You can toggle on/off Ad Hoc schedules here. This allows operators with tablets to quick start a schedule from the tablet that has not previously been planned. They will also need to end the schedule when completed, because you cannot enter an end time with this feature.
