SFDC Configuration Setup

As its name implies, the Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) system is responsible for the collection of data from the shop floor. The collected information is then stored in the Manufacturing Execution System (MES). Specifically, the real-time information collected by SFDC is utilized by Reporting and MES Web to create quality control reports. The SFDC system uses manual and automated barcode scanning to monitor and collect data for a product line or plant. Thus SFDC plays an important role in maintaining unit histories and directing product movement on the manufacturing floor.

The system provides Access Control between the modules of the application, including the portlets of each screen. The current version has an SFDC Configuration page which provides access to all sub-modules pages and its functionalities (view, add, edit, delete, print and generate output file).

SFDC Configuration

1. To access the SFDC Configuration, navigate to Shop Floor Control > Configuration > SFDC Configuration. The main SFDC Configuration and sub-modules page is displayed:

NOTE: A user only has access to the modules assigned to his/her profile.

Misc Configuration Maintenance

The portlets under this page provide access to manage Miscellaneous Configurations, such as Shop Floor ID, Line, Title Line, Screen Update Interval, Inactivity Days, Site ID, and Work Shift configuration.

When the Misc. Config. icon is selected, a list of available Shop Floor IDs will appear on the following screen.

The user can filter the results by Shop Floor ID or Title Line.
