Easier Overview of Quality Checks at the Machine Terminal

PC-Topp.NET Machine Terminal: New Quality Check ViewThe list of quality checks during the current shift at the PC-Topp.NET Machine Terminal has been enhanced so that you can now optionally display it either vertically as usual or horizontally in a more graphical style.

The new horizontal view is rather graphical than textual and therefore more or less self-explaining. With its economical layout, clear organization and color codes, it provides a well-structured overview of the shift's quality checks.

  • The overview can show more quality checks at a time because the quality checks are listed in a timeline, additionally organized by check type (rather than just by chronological order as before).
  • Whether upcoming, pending, or already performed, all quality checks remain in view (whereas in the vertical layout you see mostly the pending and upcoming ones).
  • The status of the quality checks is instantly visible thanks to their color codes which are similar to the PC-Topp order status colors:
    • Yellow – Upcoming quality checks
    • Blue – Due / imminent quality checks
    • Gray – Performed quality checks
    • Red – Expired quality checks
    Additionally, failed quality checks are marked in red, passed quality checks in green:
