Workbench Terminal

workbench terminal is a device based, start/stop execution module in planeus instead of entering production data manually, your operators can simply tap “start” and “stop” on a touchscreen, tablet, or pc as they work why use workbench terminal? easy for operators, fast to learn offers a simple, touchscreen interface that’s quick for workers to learn and operate no extra steps but one time login or scan, then go straight into execution—ideal for busy environments where speed and accuracy matter precise execution data and automated time tracking automatically capture exact start and end times for every work step, giving planners real time visibility into progress an advanced digital shop floor replace manual paperwork with device based start/stop tracking f or accurate, digital production data how to start using workbench terminal? to use the workbench terminal, you’ll need two types of licenses terminal licenses — one per device (pc, tablet, etc ) user licenses — for the people who log in to the terminal a terminal license lets you register a device as a workbench terminal once set up, users with the user license can log in on that device to record production data how to set up a workbench terminal? there are two steps to set up your workbench terminal step 1 create a terminal go to the administration area and open the menu workbench terminal this will only be visible if you have a license for workbench terminal click create terminal then enter a name for the terminal a terminal link the terminial link is just a label for identifying the terminal the actual url to that terminal will be created later in step 2 step 2 link the terminal to a device select the terminal you have created in step 1 and click link a url link will be generated above and this will the url that your terminal will be registered on copy or share this url link go to the device you want to use as the terminal device (for example, a pc or tablet) open an internet browser application on that device enter that copied or shared url link and you can start using the terminal on that device! configuring the workbench terminal moreover, you can decide which resources are visible on each terminal click the gear icon in the upper right corner of the terminal screen you’ll see a list of machines or resources and can enable or disable them for this terminal logging in as a workbench user each user who uses the workbench terminal has a unique pin code you can find this pin in users & licenses docid\ qxmrgstyv7fhavlzv8shj under the detail panel of each user additional settings for workbench terminal you can explore extra options for the terminal in administration → settings → workbench auto logout set how long the terminal should wait before automatically logging a user out due to inactivity automated feedback on primary work steps you can choose if the planning objects docid\ lxp onvwv nh1julevrn should be automatically reported when a secondary work step is reported if this is enabled the terminal will only show work steps that are assigned to your secondary resources next to each secondary resource, you’ll see the name of the primary resource in brackets so you know which main resource that work step belongs to how it works if the primary work step is still in “ planned ” status, it will start automatically when you start the secondary work step once all its linked secondary work steps are completed, the primary work step will be automatically completed , too if you pause or interrupt a secondary work step, planeus will ask if you also want to pause or interrupt the primary work step if the primary work step is already paused or interrupted and you want to start one of its secondary work steps, planeus will ask you to choose what action to take next working with the start/stop function of workbench terminal once you log in to the terminal, you’ll see a list of all resources (e g machines) an option called “all my tasks” will show all work steps assigned specifically to you, the logged in workbench user how to use it click on a machine to see all its assigned work steps click a work step to open the detail view here, you can record progress, times, or quantities button function start this work step enter quantities this is only visible after starting the work step log setup times (e g , chaning parts, starting the machine) temporarily stop the work step complete the work step report an interruption see detailed information about the work step historie des arbeitsgangs logging in with rfid planeus also supports rfid login for even faster access to the terminal you will need a usb reader for your rfid chips how to set up rfid login prepare your rfid chip and connect your usb reader to the computer in users & licenses docid\ qxmrgstyv7fhavlzv8shj , enable the option “workbench login via rfid” for the user once you have enabled it a prompt will pop up and ask you to put the rfid chip on the reader follow the instructions and wait till planeus has registered the chip click save to confirm and leave the panel now, planeus has saved the user’s rfid code using rfid to login to terminal on the terminal code login screen, scan your rfid chip on the reader you’ll be logged in automatically—no typing needed workbench terminal makes it easy to capture accurate, real time production data directly from your devices on the shop floor—helping execution run extremly fast and smooth
