How To Limit Which Parts Can Run in a Machine

To limit the parts than an operator can choose when doing a changeover or starting a production record, you need to set up cycle time records. There are two ways to do this:

  1. Go to the specific machine, and click on the Cycle Time Tab
  2. In the second way, you’re adding a machine to the part records. This typically happens if a part can run on multiple machines. Select ‘parts’ under Master Data in the Mingo Administration Tab. Select the part, edit, and go to cycle times. Then add the machine. 

It’s relatively simple, but to walk you through the steps, there is a handy video below.
