Overview
The Machine Page provides a dedicated, real-time view of a single machine’s performance, events, and operational status. It allows operators and maintenance teams to drill down from a line into the root cause of issues faster, increasing availability and improving shift response time.
With V4.1, the Machine page has been fully redesigned to align with the new Matics Design System and includes an enhanced timeline, updated widget area, and an upgraded service call workflow to ensure faster and more accurate machine-level decision making.
What’s New in the Machine Page?
The Machine Page redesign focuses on clarity, consistency, and rapid troubleshooting. Key improvements:
Unified interface aligned with LMV & Cockpit (new Design System)
Updated timeline with Stops, Performance Deviations, Rejects, and Tasks tabs
Improved service call experience from any log event or ad-hoc request
Widget alignment with Cockpit for consistent KPI tracking
New Machine TV Display for visual shop-floor monitoring
How to access the machine page
You can access the Machine Page from two areas:
From All-Machines/Department View
Department view - click on the machine name will take you to the machine page
Or from all machines view - click on the machine name
From a Line Drill-Down (LMV)
When working in the Line Master View (LMV), operators can easily drill down from the line level to a specific machine to investigate issues or monitor detailed performance.
How to Access
Click on the machine name in the LMV header or machine card.
The Machine Page opens in the context of the selected line.
This direct navigation allows operators to move seamlessly from a line-level overview to machine-level analysis without losing context.
Machine timeline and log
The Machine Log provides operators with a clear, time-based overview of all activities related to a single machine during the shift.
It helps operators stay on top of ongoing work, unexpected events, and performance gaps at the machine level, while remaining fully aligned with the Cockpit interface for a familiar and consistent user experience.
The new machine log categorizes every planned and unplanned event into four main tabs: Tasks, Availability (Downtime), Performance, and Quality Losses (Rejects), making it easier to track activity and identify root causes directly on the machine.
Tasks
The Tasks tab lists all current and upcoming tasks assigned to the machine for the active shift. You can:
View each task’s start and end time, assigned machine, and status (To Do, In Progress).
Click on a task to complete it or update its progress.
Monitor priority indicators (for example, High) to focus on urgent actions first.
Benefits:
Keeps operators organized and focused on what needs to be done on the machine right now.
Prevents missed tasks by clearly visualizing all active and upcoming assignments.
👉 Completed tasks are not shown in this view — the focus is on real-time execution.
Availability
The Availability tab displays all machine stops that occurred during the shift, including both reported and unreported downtime events.
You can:
Instantly see unreported stops, including how much time remains to report them.
Review reported stop details, such as duration, stop reason, and failure category.
From any reported stop event, call a technician directly with two clicks.
Benefits:
Encourages timely and accurate stop reporting.
Reduces maintenance response time by connecting operators directly to technicians.
Improves the quality of machine availability data and downtime analysis.
Performance
The Performance tab shows all parameter deviations and efficiency-related events detected for the machine during the shift.
You can:
See when machine parameters (such as speed, cycle time, or temperature) fell outside their target thresholds.
Identify exactly when and why the machine impacted performance.
Trigger a technician call directly from any deviation event.
Benefits:
Helps operators correct performance drifts before they escalate.
Enables proactive machine tuning and faster issue resolution.
Supports stable and consistent machine output.
Quality
The Quality tab summarizes all rejects and quality losses detected on the machine during the shift.
You can:
Review the type and quantity of rejects recorded.
Classify rejects manually if required (for example: Misprint, Seal Failure, Damaged Product).
From any reported reject, call a technician.
Benefits:
Ensures accurate reject classification and traceability.
Provides clear visibility into machine-level quality performance.
Supports waste reduction and continuous improvement initiatives.
Widgets Area
The Widget Area is one of the most powerful and flexible features of the Machine Page.
It allows operators and team members to personalize their machine-level dashboard based on their role, priorities, and the specific information they need to monitor in real time for a single machine.
Personalization and Layout
Each user can design their own machine dashboard layout.
There is no limit to the number of widgets that can be added to the Machine Page view.
You can:
Add new widgets from the Widget Library.
Remove widgets that are no longer relevant for the machine.
Reorganize widgets using simple drag-and-drop actions.
Your widget area is unique to your user — changes apply only to your personal view and do not affect other users viewing the same machine.
Widget Library
When adding a widget, users can choose from a variety of visualization types, each designed to highlight different aspects of machine performance.
The Widget Library provides flexible options to support monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimization at the machine level.
Widget Type | Description | Example use |
Simple Widget | Displays a single, real-time KPI value. | PE%, Cycle Time, Speed |
Range Widget | Shows a live parameter within a defined range (min–max). | Temperature, Pressure, Speed deviation |
Progress widgets | Visualizes current progress toward a defined target. | Job progress |
Trend Widget | Plots a continuous trend over time for a key metric. | Hourly PE or OEE trend |
Target Comparison Widget | Compares current performance against set goals. | Actual vs. Target Production |
For Simple and Range widgets, you’ll need to select the specific parameter you want to display - such as a line metric or a machine attribute
Editin Widgets
You can edit your widgets at any time using the Action Menu
located in the top-right corner of the LMV screen.
Click the
Select “Edit Widget”.
The widget area enters edit mode — all widgets become interactive.
Hover over a widget to:
Delete it
Replace it with another type
Change its parameters (e.g., target value, parameter source, range)
