The Dashboard Overview serves as the primary situational awareness screen for factory managers, production heads, and floor supervisors. It provides an instantaneous summary of active machinery, edge node connectivity, daily production progress, and factory event logs.

Industrial PMR Dashboard Overview

Master KPI Summary Cards

The top section aggregates plant floor production and energy usage across the entire factory for the current active shift:

Total Shots / Strokes

Cumulative machine cycles recorded across all connected injection molding, stamping, and tufting machines.

Production (Pieces / Meters)

Total verified pieces produced, dynamically calculated based on mold cavity counts and production multipliers.

Electricity Usage (kWh)

Cumulative kilowatt-hour consumption measured at machine sub-panels and the main factory incomer.

Raw Material Consumed (g / kg)

Total resin or feedstock consumed, computed from part shot weight and runner scrap parameters.

Live Units Status & Fleet Health

Located on the upper right of the dashboard, the Live Units Status widget provides real-time visibility into the physical edge IoT gateway infrastructure:

Edge State Classifications

Each unit also shows how far behind its data is and its MAC address when known.
How long a unit can be out of contact before it is shown as OFFLINE is set per factory in Settings > General (3, 10, 15, or 20 minutes). See Efficiency Method and Offline Time.

Stats Card, Charts & Tables

Everything below applies to the factory currently selected in the factory selector.
  • Stats card: production status, supervisor, and the Units, Machines, and Equipments ON counts (for example 5/8).
  • Hourly chart: hour-by-hour totals for the whole factory, with the best and worst hour called out.
  • Machines graph, machines spider chart, and equipments spider chart: compare units side by side.
  • SHOW selector: each chart can switch between shots, production, material, and electricity. Meter-based factories show production in meters and hide shots.

Factory Activities Feed

Located in the bottom-right panel, the Factory Activities feed logs recent machine and equipment status changes. Hover over an entry to see the exact time:
  • Operational Condition Events:
    • Supply temperature at 11.8°C (Auxiliary chiller water feed verified).
    • Mold heating temperature stabilization (Zone thermal equilibrium attained).
    • Stamping stroke rate stable at 50 spm (Continuous stroke consistency achieved).
    • Reached 82% quota for Door Trim LH Front (Proactive milestone notification before job order completion).

Header Controls & Productivity Utilities

The top global navigation bar includes quick utilities engineered for factory supervisors:
  1. Global Search (Ctrl + K): Instantly find a page, machine, equipment, or environment by name. See Global Search.
  2. Full-Screen Wallboard Mode ([ ]): Toggles browser borderless full-screen display for dedicated TV screens mounted on shop-floor control towers.
  3. Dark / Light Mode Toggle: Switches between high-contrast daytime viewing and eye-friendly dark mode for evening and night shifts.
  4. QR Code Floor Scanner: Quickly scan an edge node QR code via a mobile tablet camera to navigate directly to that machine’s live inspector.
  5. Notification Bell with Alert Badge: Displays unacknowledged threshold alarms (e.g., phase current imbalance, prolonged idle time).
  6. Multi-Plant / User Profile Switcher: Switch active manufacturing facilities (for organizations with multi-plant deployments) and manage user account settings.
  7. Get the App: A QR button opens a modal with a QR code and Google Play / App Store links. See Login, Roles & Navigation.
