Yes, I thought you could make it order new tooling if it was expendable.
We were thinking about creating a Dies resrouce group, and attaching a specific resrouce in that group to the BOM. Then Update our Mobile App to make them āscanā the Resource ID at Clock In
The problem with that is that we have large crews (20+ people working in assembly) and making them all scan a tool is.. exessive. Also theyāll clock out for lunch and by then the Die will be inserted into the Die Cutter and scanning it would be cumbersome.
But this is closeā¦ We then were thinking maybe a Setup Operation with the Resource. Once you clocknin to Setup Once, and Scan the Resrouce that satisfies there requirement.
But is there a way to Force Setup?

Only way I know how is to set an FAI on the operation and turn on the setting where they canāt bypass Setup for the FAI.

This is a common request, normally for inspection equipment rather than tooling, depending on the interface used for shop floor data capture, it would be quite easy to add a UD field on the JobOper table to hold this, and having the focus on a specific field is doable in MES, so a barcode reader could be used.

Donāt let the Maintenance name get in the way. The other thing that equipment has is a meter. It doesnāt automagically count the hits but there is an API to update it. If usage mattersā¦

Similar to what Andy suggested about adding a field to JobOper, but speaking to how to require setup time to be done, would adding a flag to JobOper to require setup be completed and having a BPM not allow production to start unless the setup is complete work for you? ā¦That along with a UD field to store what was scanned on the die being validated against the die that is set as a resource for the operationā¦?
