Many of our customers find them self in a position where line cleaning or wrongfully placed sensors is resulting in bad data. Previously this bad data would affect your OEE and statistics and often users had to correct the data by manually extracting the data from Blackbird and manipulate it in Excel. Now you can manipulate your data in Blackbird to get rid of these spikes or missing data. To use this new feature navigate to the Sensor tab of a line. Here you will see a new blue button named "Override". Click this button to open the Override dialog.

The create dialog will now show you the time range which the override will take effect in. You will need to enter a value of produced during the total time range selected. If you enter a value of 0 there will be a stop. Initials of the person performing the override and a comment of the reason is mandatory.
