Infolets Related to IoT Production Monitoring

If your manufacturing plant is enabled for synchronization with Oracle IoT Production Monitoring, as a production supervisor, you can view the following infolets on the Work Execution work area overview page:

  • IoT Insights: OEE

  • IoT Machines In-Use

  • IoT Machines Idle

  • IoT Machines Down

  • IoT Dashboard Metrics

These real time metrics from IoT provides immediate visibility of shop floor operations for you to make better decisions. You can focus on key aspects of your shop floor to help maximize capacity, increase throughput, and improve quality. You can click on any of the metrics displayed in these infolets, which will take you to the Factory Dashboard of your manufacturing plant in IoT Production Monitoring Cloud, where you can view more details about the metric.

You can hide infolet cards that aren't relevant for your use.

IoT Insights: OEE

The IoT Insights OEE infolet is a ring-chart-based infolet. You can view the Operational Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of the plant and track this metric to monitor and focus on operational efficiency of your shop floor in your manufacturing plant. This metric is displayed in the infolet in Oracle Manufacturing when the corresponding IoT metric Overall Equipment Effectiveness is added to the Factory Dashboard.

The plant level OEE metric is derived by aggregating machine level OEE metric, which is calculated as follows:

Availability x Performance x Quantity

Calculation considerations

  • Availability considers events that stop planned production time due to reasons such as machine breakdown, material shortages, change over time, so on so forth. These are tracked by the IoT Production Monitoring cloud using the machine state.

  • Performance considers anything that causes the manufacturing process to run at less than the maximum possible speed when it's running. This is calculated by the IoT Production Monitoring cloud using the ideal cycle time of the machine, total production count, and machines in-use time.

  • Quality considers manufactured parts that don't meet quality standards, including parts that need rework.

You can click on the OEE metric in the IoT Factory Dashboard, which displays the breakup of Availability, Performance, and Quality metrics for the selected time period and product.

IoT Machines In-Use

The IoT Machines In-Use infolet is a text layout-based infolet that displays a count of plant machines that are in use. The machines in IoT are the resource instances belonging to your Manufacturing Plant in IoT. This metric is displayed in the infolet in Manufacturing when the corresponding IoT metric Total In Use Machines is added to the Factory Dashboard.

IoT Machines Idle

The IoT Machines Idle infolet is a text layout-based infolet that displays a count of plant machines that are idle. This metric is displayed in the infolet in Manufacturing when the corresponding IoT metric Total Idle Machines is added to the Factory Dashboard.

IoT Machines Down

The IoT Machines Down infolet is a text layout-based infolet that displays a count of plant machines that are down and are unavailable. This metric is displayed in the infolet in Manufacturing when the corresponding IoT metric Total Machines Down is added to the Factory Dashboard.

IoT Dashboard Metrics

The IoT Dashboard Metrics infolet is a list layout-based infolet that displays all the predefined and user-defined metrics configured to be displayed in the dashboard of IoT Production Monitoring. The predefined metrics can belong to either a factory metric or a machine metric. You can define user-defined metrics in IoT by specifying the calculation schedule and formula. The metrics in the infolet are displayed in the same sequence in which it's configured in the IoT Dashboard.
