Proxus dashboard items
The items Proxus adds to the dashboard designer, next to the standard charts, grids and gauges. What each one is for, the data it takes and its settings.
The dashboard designer has two kinds of items. The standard ones (charts, grids, cards, gauges, pies, maps) come from the dashboard engine Proxus is built on; the DevExpress dashboard documentation describes them. Proxus adds its own items for plant screens: machine and line states, OEE, asset health, flows and timelines. This part of the documentation describes those.
How a Proxus item works
Every Proxus item works the same way as a standard one:
- Data fields. You give the item columns of the dashboard's data source. A field is either a dimension (a name, a time, a category: what the item groups by) or a measure (a number the item adds up). Each item's page lists its fields, with the ones it cannot do without.
- Settings. Options of the item itself, such as thresholds or what to show. Each page lists them with their default values.
- Filtering. Where the page says so, selecting a part of the item (a tile, a bar, a row) filters the other items of the dashboard by it.
To add one, open the dashboard, select Switch to Design Mode and pick the item in the designer's toolbox by its icon. See Use and build dashboards for design mode and for the data a dashboard can use.
Items
OEE Scorecard A dashboard item with one card per line showing OEE against its target, availability, performance and quality, the biggest loss and a short trend. Open OEE Loss Waterfall A dashboard item that steps planned production time down through stop reasons, speed loss and quality loss to the fully productive time. Open State Timeline A dashboard item with one lane per line or machine and a coloured band for each state, such as running, waiting, down or changeover. Open Shift Pace A dashboard item that compares the shift's output so far with its plan, slot by slot, and projects where the shift ends at the current pace. Open Machine Grid A dashboard item with a card per machine, grouped by line in flow order, showing its state and reason, its rate and its stops this shift. Open Asset Health Board A dashboard item with one card per asset, worst first, showing its health, its trend, its vibration against the alarm limit and its temperature. Open Condition Trend A dashboard item that draws one asset's vibration or temperature over time against its watch and alarm limits, and when the trend reaches the limit. Open Health Heatmap A dashboard item with one row per asset and one cell per day, coloured by health, so a slow decline and a recovery after maintenance stand out. Open Deteriorating Assets A dashboard item that ranks the assets whose health is falling fastest, with how far it fell and when it reaches the act line at that pace. Open Asset Health Matrix A dashboard item with one tile per asset, grouped by plant or area and ordered worst first, coloured by a health index against two thresholds. Open OEE A dashboard item with one OEE ring per line or plant, showing availability, performance and quality under each ring. Open Line Status A dashboard item that draws each production line as a row of machines in flow order, coloured by state, with speed, health and the line's output. Open Waterfall chart A dashboard item that shows how a starting value rises or falls step by step, with an optional total bar. Open Pareto chart A dashboard item that sorts categories largest first and draws their cumulative share, to find the few causes behind most losses. Open Timeline A dashboard item that draws one row per machine or category and a coloured bar for each period, such as a machine state from its start to its end. Open Gantt Chart A dashboard item that lists tasks with their start and finish dates and draws them as bars on a day scale, with child tasks under their parent. Open Heatmap A dashboard item that draws a grid of cells, one per pair of values on two axes, coloured by a measure on a colour scale. Open Sankey A dashboard item that draws flows between nodes as bands whose width follows the amount, such as energy from its sources to plants and areas. Open Funnel chart A dashboard item that draws values as the stages of a funnel, one block per stage, so you see where units drop out along a process. Open Polar chart A dashboard item that draws a radar chart, with one spoke per argument value and one closed line per measure, to compare a few series around a cycle. Open Simple table A dashboard item that writes its data as a plain bordered table, one column per field and one row per combination of dimension values. Open Hierarchical tree view A dashboard item that builds a tree, such as company, plants, lines and machines, from rows that name their parent. Open SCADA A dashboard item that places live values on a background image, such as a line schematic or a plant drawing. Open Online Map A dashboard item that puts sites on a street or satellite map from their latitude and longitude, as markers, a route or both. Open Web Page A dashboard item that shows a web page inside the dashboard, with a value from the data placed into its address. Open Parameters A dashboard item that shows the dashboard parameters on the dashboard itself, so they can be changed without opening a dialog. Open
