Update Workstation Status by Selecting a Predefined Reason Code

When checked in to a workstation, an operator can change the workstation status by selecting a predefined reason code for the status update.

During production at a workstation, you often need to spend time on preparation activities in addition to actual work execution. For example, operators may spend time setting up equipment, performing changeovers when preparing the workstation to produce product variants, or pausing for intermediate adjustments. Such activities impact the availability and performance metrics of the workstation. You can use a predefined reason code to update the workstation status when performing these activities. The reason code you enter helps with the computation of OEE components, such as availability and performance.

Click Edit Workstation Status to update the workstation status when checked in to a workstation. When you select a Reason for Change, the corresponding predefined Status is automatically selected. You can also change the workstation status when performing a work order operation. For example, an operator may pause the operation for a shift break.
