Resource#

🔒 Resource.Show

In broad terms, a Resource represents any scarce entity that participates in the processing or storage of Material, such as Equipment.

A Resource belong to an Area and, through it, to a Facility. A Resource can also contain sub Resources. Resource of type Component can have multiple parent Resources.

A Resource can be one of the following processing types:

  1. Component - a Resource that can have multiple parents, that is, it can be shared.
  2. Consumable Feed - Resources that are used to provide consumables to other Resources.
  3. Instrument - a Resource that is used for measuring a value in a certain unit of measure.
  4. Load Port - a Resource that serves as an input, output or input/output port for a Resource.
  5. Process - Resources that can process Material.
  6. Storage - Resources that can be used to store and retrieve Material.
  7. Line - Resources for line production.
  8. Transport - Resources used as transports.

A Resource provides Services. Services are special capabilities required for certain processing operations, such as Dispatch Material and Store Material.

A Resource has a given capacity which can be expressed in terms of number of Materials or Containers of a specific type.

Info

For Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) purposes the Resource Ideal Cycle Time must be maintained. This information is available in the Ideal Cycle Time tab.

State Model#

Critical Manufacturing MES comes with out-of-the-box state models, based on the standards SEMI E10 and SEMI E58 (includes reason text). Each state is associated with a set of attributes which are used to determine the Resource System State: the attribute Basic specifies whether the Resource should be Up or Down. This attribute is important because there is a DEE rule that synchronizes the Resource System State with the value stored in this attribute.

A Resource is also an optional element in several context resolution tables:

Sequence Of Steps#

The necessary steps for correctly using a Resource are the following:

  1. Create the desired State Model upfront.
  2. Create the Resource.
