Generating Data Reports
When a blender is added to the G2 software and G2 is able to communicate with the blender, two
types of data will be collected from the blender automatically. The first is tag based reporting. G2
will collect Material Usage reports based on tags assigned to the blender.
Tags can be based on:
Retrieval Time - Time based reports with sub totals port retrieval time interval.
Recipe - If a recipe is sent to the blender, usage is tagged with that recipe name.
Work Order - If a Work Order is sent to the blender, usage is tagged with that Work Order.
Operator - If an Operator tag is sent to the blender, usage is tagged with that Operator.
Line - If multiple blenders are assembled into a line, G2 will track usage under that Line tag.
Line Recipe - If a line recipe is sent to a line, usage will be tagged with that line recipe.
Day - Once a day, at the End of Day time, usage is recorded for 24 hour daily reporting.
Material Usage Reports
The output of tag based reports are Material Usage Reports.
Material Usage reports can be accessed in the G2 Client
program under the Reports menu, Material Usage. The
Material Usage screen has the following options:
Start Date and Stop Date - The calendar date to begin and
end the report. if no time is specified, the time is from the
earliest time with the start date to the final ending time of the
stop date. To specify the time, check the box Select start/stop
time.
Limit By - The options in the limit by dropdown menus are the
tags as listed above. When selecting tags, other tags may not
be available when further limiting the reporting criteria.
Report Filtering using: where...
Exact Tags can be specified using the "where" feature in the
Material Usage screen. To use this feature, after selecting
the report criteria from the dropdown menus above, check
the box labeled "where...". The tags selected above will be
available from the first field. Choose the limiting tag. Select
a logical operator: > (greater than), >= (greater than or
equal), = (equal to), <= (less than or equal to), < (less than).
Specify the tag value in the value field (example, a blender
ID number or recipe name).
In the Logical connector, use "END" to complete the report criteria limiter. Use "OR" to specify a
new tag on the next line. Use "AND" if this tag and the next tag have to both be true for a report
record to display (example if you want a report that includes both a specific blender ID as well as a
specific recipe, use AND to connect these two tags and display only that usage.
When your report criteria is complete, click Begin Report to generate the onscreen report.
