There are new options for configuring the Production Today section in My PC-Topp available that are interesting in plants with more than one corrugator. The configuration page (reachable via the Configuration link in the lower right of the Home page and the Corrugator menu page) lets you select whether the production figures should be displayed:

1. For Each Individual Corrugator
   One line per corrugator, new default setting.
2. Totaled for All Corrugators
   One line summing up all corrugators, old default setting.
3. For Each Individual Corrugator and Totaled for All Corrugators
   One line per corrugator plus one totals line.

(In plants with only one corrugator only one line showing the corrugator’s production is displayed no matter which option is selected.)

Following a prompt from a customer, we have created an alternate path to attach special instructions to each production step of an order.

In addition to the comments fields available in the order and in the order data transfer, you can now attach a Production Control Code to each operation (machine) of an order. That code then makes a predefined text message appear in the order, on the Job Card, in conversion machine planning and of course at the Machine Terminal.

Examples of such predefined messages would be “FOUR COLOR PRINT” or “RE-WORK AFTER CUSTOMER COMPLAINT” and similar messages for situations that occur again and again.

The instruction messages and associated Production Control Codes can be pre-defined in a corresponding table found in Settings where it is also possible to print a summary of all Production Control Codes and their meaning.
