First Step Account Setup

First Step Account Setup

Under ADMIN in your Busroot Menu please follow these steps to setup your account, these steps are required for all types of monitoring and downtime detection.

PLANT

  1. Name your plant

  2. Set your timezone (Europe/London for GMT)

SHIFT PATTERNS

  1. Setup one or multiple shift patterns depending on when your stations are operating. Shift patterns can be created to match the way your shop floor operates on a daily basis. They can be set at Station group or Station level to allow for individual operating hours.

To create a shift pattern select Shift Patterns in the main menu and click ‘Add New Shift Pattern’

  1. Enter the pattern title - this will be used to set the pattern for a Station or Station Group

  2. Simply left click on the day and start hour where you want to add a shift.

  3. Slide the white adjusters at each end to precisely change the start or end in 5 minute increments

  4. Create as many sections throughout the day as needed, to account for shift breaks or change overs.

  5. To add a shift that crosses from one day to another, extend the section up to 00:00 on the first day. Then simply start from 00:00 on the next day as required. Busroot will count this as a continuous shift.

  6. Right click on a section to remove it from the chart.

  7. Click Save to add the shift pattern.

  8. Once saved, from the list view, Shift Patterns can be either Edited or Deleted as required

Once added, patterns will be available

STATION

  1. Name your station

  2. Assign each station to a group (you can setup groups in Station Groups)

  3. Select the shift pattern for each station

  4. (optional) set an idle time value (£ per min)

REASONS

  1. You will see a set of generic downtime and non-production reasons. You can edit/delete/add to this list to customise for your operations.
