"Locations" is a feature that Evocon clients use to get more insight into production downtime by registering where stops occur on the production line. Locations can also be defined for only specific stop and speed loss reasons.

Collected information can be analyzed in the Downtime report.

When to use stop locations?

1. When the production line has multiple workstations or machines (e.g. bottling line) and it is important to know in which part of the production line the stop occurred.
2. When there is a common production stop reason but it occurs in different parts of the production line.

How to add a new stop location?

Operators can choose locations when they are adding stop reasons in Shift View.

1. Go to Settings in Evocon and click on the “Locations” card.

   

2. Click on the "+Location" button

   

3. Fill the form:

   Enter the name of the location and add translations if needed.

   • Location - enter the name of the location
   • Stations - enter the stations for this location
   • Stop reasons - mark the stop reasons that can happen at that location
     • By default it is set to “All”
   • Speed loss reasons - mark the speed loss reasons that can happen at that location

     • By default it is set to “All”

     • If there aren’t any speed loss reasons defined, this dropdown is not shown.

       

4. Add translations if needed.

5. Click „Save“.

Note: you can edit and delete locations from the edit icon (>) or just click on the entire row:

How to add translations to Locations?

Note: translations will be visible both in Settings and Shift View. Meaning if the original is created in Englist and for example German translations have been added, then users with German language set in their profile can see the locations in German both in Settings and in Shift View.

1. Click on the “+ TRANSLATION” button

   

2. Choose the language from the drop-down and write the translation

   

3. Click “Apply” and add more translations if needed.
