Essential Resources: To complete this training you must have access to eFACTORYPRO.
This training course will take you through the process of creating a group in the ESM.
The only users that will be able to create a group will be Users with Supervisor credentials.
The Equipment Status Monitor now has the capability to allow sites to create their own groups. There are any number of examples of groups that might be important for your customer. Here are just a few ideas:
- The top 2 production lines at the site.
- A grouping of the same kind of machines (Finns, Robots, etc.).
- Critical 1 machines in a high-visibility sub-location.
1. Go to the site home page. You may have to select this as a landing page if you have access to multiple sites. From here, there will be an option to ADD GROUP.
