To get started, click on the Jobs button on your Home Menu.

This will bring you to a list of your Currently Active Jobs. 

Note: The list will be empty the first time you visit this page.

Click the Create New Job button. 

 

This will bring you to the form for creating a new Job.

Enter a Job Name for your job. This should be your in-house name for this particular Job.

Enter a Job Number. This will be the number you will type in when searching for this job in the future.

Enter the Customer Part Name and Customer Part Number. This is how your customer refers to this part, in case your in-house job name and number refers to it differently.

Enter a more detailed Part Description.

Click the Create button.

 

This will create your Job and redirect you to the Edit Job section where you will create a new operation.  

Since this is your first job there will be no existing operations. You will need to create a new operation for this job. You can do this by clicking the Add Operation button.

 

This will bring you to the form for creating an operation for this Job.

 

Enter an Operation Name. We will suggest commonly used names for you, as you type the first few letters of the name.

Enter an Operation Number to identify this job.

Enter the number of parts per machine cycle. (Minimum of 1)

The rest of the information is optional.  

Target Rate is the number of parts that should be made within the Target Time. (Example: 100 parts per hour. This would be a Rate of 100 and a Time of 1 hour.)  

Inspection Frequency is how often you want your operators to be prompted to perform an inspection.

Required Training Hours is how many hours you feel is necessary to be considered trained for this job/operation.

Once you have completed the form, click the Create button.

 

This will bring you to the Inspections page.

Note: The list will be empty the first time you visit this page.

This is where you will create your first Inspection that belongs to this operation.

 

Enter the Characteristic that will be inspected.

Enter the Inspection Description, which will appear when operators are performing this inspection. Here, you can put as much detail as you need, to help the operator do the inspection correctly. 

Next you will select an Inspection Type.

The Inspection Type can be one of three options:

Attribute - A gauge will be attached to the inspection and the gauge will determine pass/fail(Go/No Go).

Visual - Operators will visually inspect and determine if it passes or fails.

Variable - There will be Operator Input Involved.

Select one of the options from the drop-down list.

 

Note about Variable Types: If you select a Variable type, additional fields will appear for you to fill out.

The Min and Max will create a range of acceptable values that the operator can enter during the inspection that will pass.

The Unit of Measure will display next to the min and max.

(Example: If a hole needs to be between 1.2 and 2.2 CM to pass an inspection enter 1.2 as the Min, 2.2 as the Max, and CM as the Unit of Measure) 

The first check box is to indicate whether you would like the trends graph to be displayed on the production page.

The Upper and Lower Control Limits are optional and are designed to create a tighter range than the Min and Max for indicating that action needs to be taken before bad parts are made.

The Display Control Limits check box is to indicate whether the control limits will be displayed to the operator or not.

 

The Inspection Occurrence determines whether or not this particular inspection will be included in the First, Production, and Last Inspection.

 

Example: If you want this inspection to only be a part of the last inspection of the day, you would leave the Last box checked and uncheck the boxes for First and Production.

 

Next you can choose to Add Images/Files.

Click on the Choose Files button. This will bring up the file explorer on your computer to search for files.

File Types supported: Video(.mp4), Image(.jpg, .jpeg, .png), Document(.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx)

After you select some files it will show the name of your selected image inside the box. (If more than 1 file was selected, the number of files will be displayed.)

Also, a progress bar and image thumbnails will be displayed. (Videos and documents will not display thumbnails)

Lastly, you have the option to attach Add Gages to this inspection. Check out our other tutorials to learn more about how to set-up Gages.

 

After you are satisfied with the inspection information click the Add button.

This will add the inspection to the table of current inspections and clear the form so you can Add additional inspections as needed.

 

Fill out the information on the left, as you did in the previous step, and click the Add button. The new inspection will be added to the list on the right.
