With a manual scrap counter you can add manual scrap counting to your automatic sensor-based lines.

The image below shows an example of a sensor-based line where a manual scrap counter has been added on top:

Setting up a manual scrap counter

1. Go to Administration > Devices. Find your virtual device by searching for “virtual”. If you don’t see one, contact your local sales person to get one.

Open the virtual device by clicking on it:

2. Create a sensor on the device. Wait about 60 seconds for the sensor to be created (refresh the page)

3. Once created, you should see your new scrap counter as a sensor:

4. To add the scrap counter to a line, go to the line and open up line settings:

5. Find the new sensor and add it as an “additional sensor” by pressing it:

6. Specify the scrap sensor placement relative to the bottleneck sensor. If you do not specify a placement, the sensor values will not be counted as scrap on the line. Think: Where are you scrapping on the line - is it before or after the bottleneck counter?

• Scrap sensors placed after the bottleneck: The counts made here will be subtracted from the line’s “Produced” as the part was scrapped after it was counted by the bottleneck sensor
• Scrap sensors prior to the bottleneck: Will not affect the “Produced” value.

7. Save the line settings and go the register stops tab. Here you should see the new scrap counter.
