How to position the camera for machine downtime tracking
Each station’s status is shown against the day’s target: green means on track, yellow means at risk, and red means behind. Teaching a cycle takes ten parts. The setup target is under an hour per station.
Choose a machine that produces countable, discrete parts. Mount the camera securely so it can see the finished parts, then use the live view to adjust the angle and focus.
A printed marker provides measurements in real millimetres and helps the system notice camera movement. It does not replace a stable mount.
Shiny or transparent parts need lighting work. Viewing the back of a part requires a second camera.
Teach the production cycle
Teaching a cycle takes ten parts. The setup target is under an hour per station.
Read the station status
FactoryVision shows each station’s status against the day’s production target:
- **Green:** On track.
- **Yellow:** At risk.
- **Red:** Behind.
FactoryVision also tracks downtime and counts finished parts. The status colours describe progress against the target.
