In Corrugator Scheduling, the toolbox shows all flute types that can be produced.

Any flute types that cannot be produced on the corrugator that is selected in the center of the page are now marked with a warning sign.

When a user selects a flute type with such a mark, then the page will not display any grades, as they are all incompatible with the current corrugator.

Instead, a message appears that explains the situation. Additionally, it offers links to all corrugators that can produce that flute type: One click, and the grades appear, along with the correct corrugator code.

The detailed view of the board grades has a new feature: The option for setting the target speed that is displayed in the Corrugator Monitor.

In the field Expected Speed, the page usually shows "same as for all B-Flute grades" or something similar. With that setting, the speed for predicting the duration of a run in Program Memory is taken from the corrugator settings. However, if a grade runs much more slowly (or faster) than other grades, then a lower or higher speed can be entered here.

In the new field Target Speed, one can now enter the speed that the corrugator crew will see on the new corrugator monitor page, for example. It will normally be higher than the Expected Speed, indicating the speed the grade should be run at to achieve 100% performance.

Where the Target Speed has not been entered yet, it defaults back to the Expected Speed, so that the crew will at least see something reasonable. However, for best use of the new page, you should enter a specific target value here.

Below these speed settings, there is the area Exceptions that is only needed very rarely, in plants that have several corrugators: While the standard Expected Speed is found in the corrugator settings and therefore will reflect the corrugator's performance, any special entry (a lower speed for a special grade, for example) in most cases needs to be different for each corrugator. Likewise, the Target Speed can also vary between corrugators.

Therefore, both speeds can be entered here for every corrugator in the plant. The list is endless, as some plants have several machines in one site.

Now the option "Update Display" in the toolbox of some PC-Topp.NET order data pages offers three modes of updating the displayed data:

• "Auto" (default setting) keeps the displayed data up to date all the time: Automatic updates are triggered whenever a change in the data occurs (e. g. Conversion Machine Scheduling and Orders by Customer) or when the data has been recalculated (e. g. TGV Machine Load and Corrugator Scheduling).
  The "Auto" button is greyed out as long as the display is set to "Auto". "Auto" is the option to choose whenever up-to-dateness is essential, e. g. for planning.
• "Keep for [x] min" offers a way to prevent the display flicker caused by the automatic updates: A user who can do without seeing the most recent data changes can define update intervals with this command. The display is not updated until the preset period of time is over even if the data is modified or recalculated in the meantime. The interval length can be entered
  - in minutes (Default setting; the value can be entered as a whole or decimal number.)
  - in seconds (The character "s" has to be entered behind the value, e. g. "90s".)
• "Update now" allows manual updates whenever the user wants to immediately view recent changes in the data even if he has defined an update interval. The "Update Now" button turns red and starts flashing if a modification is detected within the preset interval.
  But on pages like e. g. the TGV Machine Load, the button only gives the signal to update if the data displayed has been recalculated. This means that in order to have the most recent changes displayed here one has to trigger a recalculation by pressing the "Update now" button even if it is in its normal state.

The new Work in Progress page lets the user immediately recognize peaks of work in progress in Conversion and Shipping.

The page shows the amount of orders waiting in front of every machine. It displays the conversion stock total as well as the stock figures for the individual machines during a user defined time span, in selectable intervals.

The status of production on the conveyor leading to the bander machines is displayed below Conversion. This line indicates the points in time when queues develop in front of the banders.

The user can set individual alert levels for all machines or groups of machines displayed on the page to receive alerts in the form of color highlighted figures whenever the work in progress reaches a critical level there.
