Station Group

Info

Station group settings are stored in the account manifest.

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.

Energy Metering

Where a station group has its own energy meter - for example a line meter covering the whole group - that meter can be designated here. The group's energy is then taken from the designated station instead of being added up from its member stations.

The options offered are the Meter Only stations belonging to this group. See Station for how to flag a station as Meter Only.
