Introduction
MESWeb is a powerful business intelligence application designed from the ground up to simplify reporting from manufacturing execution systems and to empower end users with a streamlined and full-featured web interface. The application includes an "ad hoc report" design tool that allows users to create basic, customized reports from heterogeneous data sources.
Decentralized custom reports, redundant data, lack of formal security controls, and convoluted development requirements are problems faced by all plants, and MESWeb has been designed to resolve these issues while maximizing usability and performance.
Business Benefits:
MESWeb provides access to technical information about MES through a real-time reporting database to avoid negatively-impacting production system performance by eliminating the need for an ODBC connection. In its standard configuration, some of the reports based on MES include the following, while new reports continue to be created:
- Work in Process (WIP Distribution)
- Yield, Defect, and Repair analysis
- Serial Number historical details (Unit History)
- Evolution Reports (including moving averages) – Top Defect Evolution and Yield Evolution
- Throughput information
These reports have the ability to filter and search data for common attributes such as Customer, Part Number, Process, Date and Time range, Shifts, Evolution Intervals, etc. These default reports provide a significant level of visibility to manufacturing processes.
Extensibility:
MESWeb is also the strategic platform for all MES reporting needs and it can be used with any system since the following databases are available:
- ERP
- Postgres
- MySQL
- SQL Server 2000-2005
- ODBC
Access Level
MESWeb has five distinct access levels:
- Administrator (System Administrator)
- Security Manager (Local Administrator)
- Report Manager
- Data Source Manager
- User (Execution Module only) Section Name
Administrator (System Administrator)
The System Administrator has full access to MESWeb Central and Execution – all plants, all reports, all customers. Basically, Administrator access includes the capabilities of all of the levels (Security Manager, Report Manager, and Data Source Manager). This access will be given to BSAs and global support personnel. An administrator can perform the following functions:
- Access the "Access Control" module
- Create, Edit, and Delete Locations
- Create, Edit, and Delete Data Sources
- Create, Edit, and Delete Data Source types
- Create new custom reports globally
- Copy, Edit, and Delete existing custom reports globally
- Publish custom reports globally
- Manage permissions for all MESWeb locations
Security Manager (Local Administrator)
The Security Manager has full access to the plant(s) where he/she has been designated as local Administrator for the MESWeb tool. The main responsibilities of this role are to organize permissions and manage customers. A Security Manager is able to:
- Visualize the Central MESWeb module in the MES Portal
- Access the "Access Control" module
- Grant permissions to him/herself and others from the Security Manager level to all lower levels
- Manage customers (add customers and map part numbers to them)
Report Manager
The Report Manager has access to "Reports" and "Report Groups" modules in the specific location(s) where he/she was designed as Report Manager. Inside those modules, a Report Manager is able to:
- Create custom reports and publish them only in his/her location
- Edit or Delete existing customer reports in his/her location
Note: Deleting is not possible if the report is published elsewhere
- Create Report Groups
- Add Reports to Report Groups
Data Source Manager
The Data Source Manager is responsible for creating and updating Data Sources and Data Source types.
A Data Source Manager is able to:
- Create, Edit, and Delete Data Sources
- Create, Edit, and Delete Data Source types
User (Execution Module only) Section Name
The User role is able to execute only those reports specifically granted access to him/her, and may not create new reports or modify existing reports. Administrators may restrict user access only to data belonging to specific customers and data sources.
Getting Started with MESWeb Reports
| MESWeb has been designed to be easy to use. The process of executing a MESWeb Report involves following only a few simple steps. Instructions for these steps may currently be found in two locations: (1) the MES Wiki (navigate to Reporting >
MESWeb) on the respective pages for each report; and (2) the MESWeb Report page (accessible via the MES Portal). Users who wish to read instructions for one or more specific reports are referred to the two aforementioned locations. Items that are important to the general use of MESWeb Reports are reviewed here. |
Accessing MESWeb Reports
| To access the MESWeb Reports page, users must have access to the 42Q Portal. Once logged in, users must navigate to Reporting MESWeb. The user is directed to the MESWeb Reports page. At this point the user ’
s web browser should be displaying content similar to that seen in Figure 1. |
Figure 1: Accessing MESWeb Reports
Users can access MESWeb Reports from this page by selecting Reports and navigating either to Default Reports or to SOMS. Figures 2 and 3 show a listing of the pages where users can generate the respective reports.
Figure 2: Default Reports
Figure 3: SOMS Reports
Figure 4 shows the appearance of a typical Report page in MESWeb. (Note that the instructions are provided in the window on the right-hand side of the page, whereas all user actions are performed in the window on the left-hand side of the page).
Figure 4: Report Page
Parameters
MESWeb has a collection of parameters highly configurable by the user to help filter the information.
Dropdown list
This manages a list where only one single option is selected (see Figure 5 for an example).
Figure 5: Dropdown List
Checkbox
A checkbox is used for true/false parameters (see Figure 6 for an example).
Figure 6: Checkbox
Radio Buttons
Radio buttons allow the user to select one (1) option from the list (see Figure 7). Every selectable option is mutually exclusive. This also can be used for showing different parameters.
Figure 7: Radio Button
Date
A date parameter is used to select a specific date. There is a variant that also allows the user to select a time.
Figure 8: Date
Date Range
Date range is a parameter that allows the user to select a range between two dates. There is a variant that also allows the user to select a time.
Figure 9: Date Range
Listbox
In a listbox, multiple options can be selected (i.e., users can select every option in the "Available" list). Users can filter options by using the radio buttons "Starts With", "Contains", and "Ends With". After the user selects the necessary option, he/she enters text into the text box and then must select the 
icon to refresh the list.
The 
(highlighted down-arrow) icon moves all of the options in the "Available" list to the "Selected" list.
The 
(down-arrow) icon moves only the selected option in the "Available" list to the "Selected" list.
The 
(up-arrow) icon moves only the selected option in the "Selected" list back into the "Available" list, thus removing it from the "Selected" list.
The 
(highlighted up-arrow) icon moves all of the options in the "Selected" list back to the "Available" list, thus removing all options from the "Selected" list.
Figure 10: Listbox
Multi-Line Text Box
The multi-line text box allows the user to add lines as necessary.
Figure 11: Multi-Line Text Box
Steps
Steps mainly work as filters that are used to execute reports. A step contains x parameters and it may or may not be the parent of another subsequent step. For example, after the user selects a Customer, the Part Numbers related to the selected Customer are shown.
Results
Grids
Once a report is executed, a grid with the results will appear on the right side.
