Overview
42Q Live is a critical line monitor with a new look and feel. In this portlet, users can view data reports to gain insight into critical lines on the shop floor. The 42Q solution gathers yield percentage data to determine the line’s status based on the configured target yield. If the line’s current yield is lower than its target yield, the line’s status will change to critical. Being able to view this information in an intuitive monitor layout increases plant visibility and ensures that issues can be addressed quickly as they arise.
Note: In order to gather data, the MFG. Line(s) must be configured in MFG. Line Maintenance. For more information on configuring the MFG. Line, see SOP-5-I-MES0009-C MFG. Line Maintenance.
Prerequisites
- Shop Floor ID defined in Shop Floor ID Maintenance. See SOP-5-I-MES0015-C
- All Locations setup and defined in Location Maintenance. See 42Q-SOP-5-I-MES0007-C
- All Devices setup and defined in Device Maintenance. See 42Q-SOP-5-I-MES0035-C
- MFG. Lines with all scanners and escalation levels have been set up.
MFG. Line Setup
To add a MFG. Line:
1. Navigate to SFDC Configuration > MFG. Line.
2. Enter the Name and the Site ID in the respective fields. If it is a WIP Location Line, at least one location.
must be assigned. Otherwise, the Pixel X and the Pixel Y,and at least one scanner must be assigned.
Note: Pixel X and Pixel Y correspond to the icon placement in the 42Q Live monitor.

The name must be created according the following rules:
- 2 characters for Level or Modules (areas of interests) (Ex: L1; M2)
- 2 characters to group Process Lines (Ex: L110; M250)
- 1 character with "_" + Process Name + 1 char with "_" (Ex: L110_SMT_; M250_PTH_)
- Line name (Ex: L110_SMT_Line1; M250_PTH_Line2)
- Project Name: The project name of the line, which is used here to distinguish between different projects with the same configuration. (For example, if the project name is G18, the full manufacturing line name will be L110_SMT_Line1_G18; M250_PTH_Line2_G18)
Note: If the manufacturing line is WIP location line, the name must end with "WIP".
Note: The Site ID can be changed if all Site ID references were updated in the SFDC Miscellaneous Configuration submodule. If it is a WIP location line, it is not possible to create an escalation for this manufacturing line. Man Power, Work Hour, Min Sample Size, fields are going to be enabled only after the user selects enters the mandatory MFG. Line Form fields.
Note: The Man Power and Work Hour fields will be used in the MES Web reports.
To add an Escalation level:
1. Enter an email address in the Email input field, then select the Add icon. The escalation emails allow adding four levels of emails. Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4 tabs become available only when the information in the previous tab has an email addressed assigned to it.
Note: The Levels shown in the Escalation tab correspond to Levels displayed in 42Q Live.
