The **Machine Grid**  shows every machine as it is now, grouped by
line. Use it on a floor screen or a supervisor's phone, to see which machine is down, why and for how long.

- **Line header.** The line's name, the product it runs and how many of its machines are in each state.
- **Card.** One machine, in flow order: its state and the reason, its actual rate against the ideal rate, how long it has been in its current state, and its stops and micro-stops this shift. A card with three
  or more micro-stops marks them.

The state colours and words are the same as on the [State Timeline](https://proxus.io/docs/analyze/dashboard-items/state-timeline).
Cards fill as many columns as the item's width allows, two on a phone. Select a card to filter the other items of the
dashboard by that machine.

## Data fields

**Machine** and **State** are required, one row per machine. **Line** groups the cards, and **Position** orders them
along the line (lowest first). Every other field adds a figure to the card; leave out the ones you do not have.

## Settings

**Rate unit** and **Output unit** are written after the rate and the output (for example `/min` and `units`).

## Where to see it

The Meridian demo plant uses it on **Meridian · Live Plant** and **Meridian · OEE Command Center**.
