4. Getting Started
4.1 Accessing the web interface
Open a browser on any device in the plant network and navigate to:
http://<device-ip>:8000
No client software is required. The interface is responsive and can be used on desktop PCs, panel PCs and tablets.
4.2 Signing in and user roles
Sign in with your username or e-mail and password. Accounts are managed by an administrator (chapter 9.2).
Access levels build on each other. Every level includes the permissions of the levels below:
| Level | Password | May access |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | no | Scoreboard only (intended for wall displays) |
| Operator | yes | + Production Timeline, live Bottleneck view, Notifications |
| Supervisor | yes | + all Analysis views, AI Assistant, Line Config |
| Admin | yes | + System configuration, Users, Reports, Backup, SMTP, Version, License |
If you navigate to a page your role does not permit, you are redirected to the Scoreboard.
4.3 Navigating the user interface
|
|
The sidebar on the left is the main navigation:
Menu entries are only shown if your role permits them. |
4.4 Changing the display language
CedarInsight is available in English and German. The language is a system-wide setting; it applies to the entire web interface and to generated PDF reports.
An administrator changes it under System → System → Language (chapter 9.1).
4.5 Notifications
The system raises notifications for events that need attention, e.g. disk-space warnings or production events. Open them via Notifications in the sidebar.
- Each notification has a level: Info, Warning, Error or Permanent.
- Filter by status: All, Unconfirmed, Confirmed, Permanent.
- Select one or more notifications and press Confirm to acknowledge them. An optional note can be stored with the confirmation (applied to all selected entries). The confirming user and time are recorded.
- Permanent notifications represent persistent conditions and stay visible while the condition lasts.
Unresolvable warnings (e.g. low disk space) should be reported to your administrator.
