What Is a Production Unit?

A Production Unit represents an operating production line or functional equipment cell inside a Process Area (for example, RM01 - Raw Mill 01 or KL01 - Rotary Kiln 01). Production units hold physical Machines, group Tags for live dashboards and alarms, and serve as the operational scope for OEE and downtime capture.

1. Open Configuration -> Production Units.
2. Choose the target Plant and Process Area in the cascading toolbar dropdowns above the table.

Step 2: Create a Production Unit

2. Enter the Production Unit Name (required, e.g., KL01 - Rotary Kiln 01) and an optional description.
3. Click Save (or Save & Add Another when creating multiple units in a row).

Step 3: Edit or Delete a Production Unit

• Edit: Open the row menu -> Edit to rename the production unit or adjust its properties.
