FactoryLogix NPI drives shop floor assembly production by displaying customizable operator guidance. You can even customize the shop floor user interface itself and tailor it to the specific operations being performed.
An Operator Interface template is the dashboard an operator uses to perform steps in an operation. For example, the Standard FactoryLogix Assembly Operation (Tracked) template is ideally suited for use in an operation where assembly steps take place.
Operator Interface templates are assigned to steps instead of a specific operation. For example, a single operation can have multiple templates if the operation contains multiple steps.
