SFDC Configuration Setup
The Shop Floor Data Collection System (SFDC) communicates interactively with the Customer Order Processing System (COPS), and Statistical Process Control/Statistical Quality Control (SPC/SQC). The Manufacturing Data System (MDS) makes the communication between these systems possible.
SFDC provides real-time information used by SPC/SQC and MESWeb to create quality control reports. The data configuration for SFDC PC is handled within the Manufacturing Data System (MDS), which is a complete factory automation system. The SFDC System uses bar-code scanning, both manual and automated, to monitor and control a single product line or an entire plant. SFDC Configuration collects data, provides analysis, maintains unit histories, and controls product movement on the manufacturing floor.
The system provides Access Control between the modules of the application, including the function of each screen. The current version has an SFDC Configuration page which provides access to all sub-module pages and their functions (view, add, edit, delete, print and generate output file).
SFDC Configuration
1. To access SFDC Configuration, navigate to Shop Floor Control > Configuration > SFDC Configuration. The main SFDC Configuration and sub modules page is displayed:
Figure 1: MDS Portal – SFDC Configuration Sub modules
NOTE: A user only has access to the modules assigned to his/her profile.
Assembly Maintenance
Assembly Maintenance defines the components or sub-assemblies that are merged to a main product. Also defined are the Data Collection Locations where sub-assemblies are merged, and prompts displayed to the operator. Assembly Maintenance tables are configured to perform serial, part, and location validation of items merged to the main product.
List Assemblies
Based on the actual SFDC Configuration, the application displays a list of all Assemblies.
To list assemblies, select Assembly from the SFDC Configuration Maintenance menu.
NOTE: The user only has access to this module if it has been added to his/her profile
Filter Assemblies
There are three available filter fields:
- Shop Floor ID
- Location
- Part
Enter desired filter criteria and selectFilter.
To clear the filter fields, select Clear.
Figure 2: List and Search
The filter result is displayed in the Assembly list.
Add Assembly
This functionality allows users to add an assembly.
1) To add an assembly, select the Add button.
Figure 3: Add Assembly
The Assembly form is displayed. The user must populate all mandatory fields when adding assembly steps. If the mandatory fields are not populated, an error message is displayed.
Figure 4: Add Assembly Form
3) Select the appropriate location form the Location drop-down box.
4) Enter the appropriate part number in the Part Number field.
5) Select Save to create the assembly.
(Leave Part Number field blank if assembly will be configured for ALL Parts.)
6) After this step validates the entered information in the database, the Assembly Step List page is displayed.
(NOTE: The user must add at least one step to the Assembly for it to be saved in the system.)
List Steps
This functionality displays a list with all Assembly Steps.
1. To access the Assembly Step menu, the user must first check the box to the left of the appropriate Shop Floor ID, then select Step List.
Figure 5: Assembly List – Step List
The Assembly Step List displays.
The Assembly Step List enables the following Tasks:
- Add Assembly Step
- Edit, Copy and Delete
- Print/Export Filtered Assembly Steps
Add Assembly Step
This functionality adds an assembly step in the system.
To add an assembly step, select Add Assembly Step from the step list screen.
Figure 6: Add Assembly Step
The user must populate all mandatory fields (indicated in Red) when adding assembly steps. If the mandatory fields are not populated, an error message is displayed.
Type: The type of Assembly Step that is being created. (Non-Tracked, PTS ID, Standard, Unique Component)
Step: Number automatically generated by the Step Number function.
Component ID Prompt: The prompt displayed to the operator upon scanning the main assembly. This prompt should specify the sub-assembly being added to the main assembly. The prompt length can be up to 16 characters. This prompt is only displayed if the sub-assembly has not been previously installed at this station.
Note: If another Location has the same Process Name with the same Assembly sequence AND the main assembly is scanned there (because of a Manual Move), SFDC prompts for the sub-assemblies to be installed even if there were installed previously.
Note: If the OPTIONS ASM_BY_PROCNAME=YES option is installed in the Setup Data Editor Form, the component prompt is displayed for all Locations with same Process Name that is assigned to the Location in which the assembly is configured.
Component Id Mask: The serial mask of the sub-assembly. The maximum length of the data field is 40 characters. The maximum length of a single ID mask is 20 characters. Multiple ID masks are separated by a comma (,).
Reference Designator: The reference designator (or nomenclature) of the sub-assembly. This is a text string up to 22 characters in length. When a new Component ID prompt is entered for a step, this data field contains the same default value. The field is editable.
Component Part: The part number of the sub-assembly being added to the main assembly. It must exist in the Part Table and is only needed if the Component ID mask is the same for multiple products.
NOTE: Once the component part number is entered, the Shop Floor ID field will be available to populate.
Shop Floor ID- The ID of the Shop Floor associated with the assembly step.
NOTE: Once the Shop Floor ID is chosen, the Component Location field will be available to populate.
Component Location: Valid only if the sub-assembly is tracked. This is the Location where the sub-assembly is expected to be. Using this data field ensures the sub-assembly is ready to be installed into the main assembly.
Once all the required information has been entered, select Save. To exit, select Cancel. To clear all fields, select Clear.
The new assembly step is displayed in the list.

administrator
the System Administration has full access - all plants, all reports, all users.
component
A component is a specific piece of data that appears on a label, for example: bar code, part numbers, graphic images, line or text. Hence, label components are broken down into several different types: text, graphic images, MDS database values, or a combination of text and database values.
framework
In software development, a framework is a defined support structure in which another software project can be organized and developed. A framework may include support programs, code libraries, a scripting language, or other software to help develop and glue together the different components of a software project.
