  • Reduced loading times for the job selection table.

(3/4) New Feature

  • Edit scheduled non-production
[Placement: RUBY Go > Trending]

Your Advantages

  • It is possible to set a regular scheduled non-production (for example on the weekend) or let the operator start the production break via button press.
  • Now you can simply edit these times later from the office, if they were not recorded correctly.

[Placement: Admin > API Access]

  • Export the key performance indicators (KPIs), downtime reasons and downtime locations to your own system and create customized reports.
