Manual Collection
Manual data collection in the OrigoTracker Sequi is achieved by allowing users to define the data collection process and data items, and then manually submit the corresponding data through an app on a pad.
The steps to add manual collection are as follows:
1. Define New Manual Collection
Enter the Manual Collection page, click Add Manual Collection
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Product Type | Select the previously defined product type to set up data collection methods and items for that model. |
| Status | Once disabled, production data for this product model cannot be collected on the pad. |
2. Define the data collection method
After selecting product type, you need to choose which production lines under the module will produce this product.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Production Line List | Select which production lines under the module will produce this product. If the product is produced on all production lines under this module, you can check the option next to it. |
If the same product type requires different data collection across different production lines under the same module, you can click "Add New" on the right.
After adding, you can separately configure different data collection requirements for the same product type across different production lines under the same module.
After selecting the production line, you can define the data collection methods and data items for the product on the chosen production line. Click "Add Data Collection Page".
