 The KPI
The KPI FactoryWidget® displays one master manufacturing metric and up to 3 sub-metrics on a single FactoryWidget, showing progress towards a goal for each metric.
The progress bars for each metric change color based on thresholds you set relative to your measured production value.
All text on the KPI is configurable to match your business terminology and the KPI background is available in a variety of colors.
Each manufacturing metric Setpoint may be driven by a tag in your data source or through manual value entry. Displaying this setpoint is optional.
You can configure a link to display any web page when the user clicks on the value on the KPI.
Example configuration screens for the KPI are shown below. Because of the flexibility and power of the KPI, not all configuration screens are shown here. Consult the FactoryWidgets Administrator’s Guide for full details.
