Root Cause Category

Root Cause Categories are broad descriptions of machine downtime problems. Possible manufacturing Root Cause Category examples include: Process, Energy, System, and Maintenance. Engineers may also add new root causes or edit associated root causes from the Category submodule.

Root Cause Categories are organized in a parent/child hierarchy in a visual tree format. Main categories are represented by yellow folders (parents); blue file folders represent subcategories (children).

1. Navigate: Shop Floor Control > Configuration > OEE > Root Cause Category.

2. To add/edit a category, select the category’s location within the hierarchy by right clicking on the parent or child icon. A pop-up window displays, which allows the user to Add a new category or Edit the selected category. (See figure, below.)

Tag Mapping

The Tag Mapping feature links (tags) assets to the OEE reporting system. This mapping process allows 42Q's MES to automacially capture asset downtimes and problems from CMMS, and eliminates the need to manually input downtime events. Once a downtime event is recieved, the system creates a new repair Work Order or closes the corresponding Work Order in CMMS. 

To connect your factory’s standalone equipment (e.g. sensors), see Rapid IIoT

Downtime Data Flow

Once mapped, 42Q captures and sends downtime data to multiple systems within the 42Q family.

Asset is Down → Downtime data is sent to OEE → OEE sends data to MESWeb Reports → MESWeb Reports creates reports → Real-time data is displayed directly on the factory floor via Operation Dashboard.

Tag Ids are set according to Error Code or Up/Down in OEE and are configured in CMMS Asset according to Problem Type.

Asset Mapping Features

Users may search, add, edit, or enable/disable a Tag ID via the Tag Mapping submodule.
