Dashboard - State Bar Chart for Process flow

Hi,

So, little I knew, apparently I can't connect my process to Dashboard as easy as connecting objects.
I'm trying to create State Bar Chart for my operators and manual machines that are built in Process flow. My goal is to observe their occupation. I seek something like these two charts.

I really appreciate your help.

I assume you are talking about this activity block, where the delay activity represents manual processing time that you want to see represented both in the state chart of the operators as well as in a state chart for the (virtual) work stations?

For the operators you can use a delay task in place of the standard delay to control which state while they are in during that time.

To get a chart of the work station utilization it is in my opinion easiest to add dummy objects (BasicFR) to the model and set their state in the process flow (option for this is available in the Custom Code activity). You could track the state in a tracked variable that you add elsewhere (as a label or a custom subnode) but it'd be more work to get those to work with the state chart than to add some extra objects.

Though at the moment I don't see any resource/list/zone that represents those work stations, so are they even limited in number?

Yes for manuals machines. That's where exactly I was working on.


I believe I found a solution (which you also included in your comment), correct me if I'm wrong. So I decided to use custome code by adding Processing state at the beginning of subflow and Idle state at the end.

As for operators, I will try that, thank you.

For your question, yes they are limited.
