To use the step time analysis efficiently, follow these steps:
-
Create the respective steps for the asset in IIH Essentials.
In order to see a step time analysis in Performance Insight corresponding configuration steps are needed in IIH Essentials. For this definition there are two auto defined aspect types available in IIH Essentials:-
StepChainAnalysis_InitialStep - this type is used if this step is the seperator between sequences - it can only be one initial step per asset defined
This aspect type is defined via two variables below: "ActiveState" (Boolean) and "Product" (String). -
StepChainAnalysis_Step - this type is used for all other steps apart from the initial step
This aspect type is defined as one variable: "Active State" (Boolean)
-
-
Add a dashboard for the step time analysis.
This step is automatically done in case you have already a fitting data structure defined (see step 1).Info
If steps have not yet been defined for the selected asset, a dialog with information on configuring the step time analysis is displayed.
-
Define the limits for the created steps under "Step time analysis settings" in Performance Insight.
- The data is displayed in the predefined dashboard.
Use of predefined aspect types
To use step time analysis in Performance Insight there is no need to use the predefined aspect types, but they are facilitating the engineering process. If the predefined aspect types are not used, make sure that the naming of the variables "ActiveState" and "Product" is compliant. Using those names a step time analysis will be visualized in Performance Insight.
The here described predefined aspect types are currently only available in standalone version of IIH Essentials.
When in integrated mode, it is possible to either create those aspects via API or define aspect types with the proper variable naming on your own.
