The machine status icon communicates key information relating to the machine state moment-to-moment. Think of it as a process 'health monitor'. The machine status icon conveys:
Machine working or not working
Process deviations for any parameter that is monitored by Matics (cycle time, units per minute, kWh/minute, etc.)
Progress of setup
Network connectivity errors (Wi-Fi, etc.)
Icon / color code | Description | Take Action |
 | Working OK: Machine is working |

 | Setup - Working: Job is in Setup | End setup on time! |
 | Parameter Deviation: Machine is working | Identify the problem - look for the alarm in the Shift Log. If the parameter graph is shown on the Dashboard, click it to see more details. Change the setpoint or recipe tolerances in the Job Recipe. (Access to Matics Web platform is necessary). |
 | Stopped: Matics has detected that the machine is stopped. | Report the cause for the stop (stop reason) |
 | Setup - Stopped: Job is in setup while the machine is stopped | End setup on time! If setup is not the cause, report another cause. |
 | Communication Failure: Machine activity is not being monitored by Matics. | Contact Matics Support for help to bring the system back online. |
 | Stop - Idle: Machine is idling. The time counts as Idle Time and does not lower P.E. | Learn how Matics can automatically recognize Idle Time. |
 | No Production: Machine is not in production due to breakdown, lack of orders or another reason. | Time can count toward downtime or idle time, depending on your settings. Customize these production settings. |
 | Working in No Production: Machine was or is working while it is in "No Production" status. | Start a work order or change to production status. |
