6. Analysis

The Analysis views are available to Supervisor and Admin roles. All views share the same filter pattern: Program, Product and a time drill-down (year → month → day).

6.1 OEE History

Analysis → OEE History shows the OEE development over time.

Editing downtime reasons: in the events list you can assign a reason to a pending event or edit an already assigned one (pencil icon): select category, reason and optional notes. This is the place to clean up unclassified stops after the shift.

6.2 Bottleneck History

Analysis → Bottleneck History aggregates the bottleneck events (chapter 5.3) across runs.

  1. Select a Program (mandatory as stages/stations are program-specific).
  2. The trend chart shows bottleneck time per year/month/day; click a bar to drill down or, at day level, to filter the event list.
  3. The Bottleneck Events table lists each event with date, product, stage, throughput/h, start, end and duration.

Use this view to find the chronically limiting stage of a line: the prime candidate for improvement measures.

6.3 Production Analysis

Analysis → Production examines individual production runs.

The graph data shows data for a production run: throughput of the single stations and the takt and sensor data connected with the program. The takt and sensor data is used to correlate events and data with the throughput, e.g. throughput goes down when temperature goes up.

To analyze production runs, the following actions are available:

Run maintenance (use with care):

6.4 Downtime Pareto

Analysis → Downtime ranks downtime causes by total duration, the classic Pareto (“80 % of downtime comes from 20 % of causes”).

6.5 AI Assistant

Analysis → AI Assistant provides chat-based analysis of your production data: ask questions in natural language (“Which product had the worst quality last?”, “What were the main downtime causes?”) and receive answers computed from the database.

6.5.1 Working with the assistant

The AI (LLM) is weak handling date and time inputs like “today” or “last week”. To narrow down times, please use the filters. They will filter the raw data provided to the API.

6.5.2 Licensing, data privacy and anonymisation

  • The AI Assistant is a licensed feature (entitlement AI Chat, chapter 9.6). Without it the view shows “AI Analysis not licensed”.
  • Requests are processed via the Pinetek LLM gateway. Identifying names are anonymised before leaving the device and de-anonymised in the response; the external model never sees your real product or program names.

6.6 Exporting data

Analysis tables offer an Export action that downloads the current (filtered) data as an Excel file for further processing.
