System Architecture
All real time browser based communications use publish/subscribe communications to an MQTT broker which acts as a lightweight unified namespace (UNS). All historical data is based on lightweight iLine API. This architecture allows for hundreds of browser clients on the business network working simultaneously.

How are existing work practices affected by the day to day running of the iLine OEE Solution?
The software has been designed in such a way that there is no new work created in the day to day running of the system in a production environment.
The following tasks are optional but not essential to run the iLine software system:
1. Assign Downtime Reasons to unassigned stops on the production line (0-5 minutes per shift)
2. Identify start and end of each batch (0-3 minute per shift) for production lines only.
Note that all other data is generated automatically.

Sample Screenshots
Live View Screen
The liveview Screen is a SCADA type screen showing realtime information on the current status of your machines. The machine animation colours change in real time as the status of the machines change on the factory floor. For example when the filler machine is running the machine will appear green in the mimic screen. When the machine is in an alarm state then the machine will appear red in the mimic screen. This allows the operator to react quickly to any issues that occur with individual machines.

Timeline Chart
The Timeline Chart allows easy visualisation of machine runtime and machine downtime over different time periods. This screen allows users to see at a glance which machines have been giving problems over shorter time periods.

Shift OEE Chart
The Shift OEE Charts allows management and staff to view the OEE for the production line or for individual machines. Charts can show this data on a shift by shift basis. This allows users to identify which machines during which shifts are causing issues on the factory floor.
