How to create run time alerts to celebrate team wins?

A run-time alert can pop up on the console to recognise the crew once a line has been running for a set amount of time — a small way to celebrate a good stretch of production.

Step 1 — Create a new alert

In Fusion Manager, create a new alert.

 

Step 2 — Write the celebration message

In the alert message area, write the note you want operators to see celebrating their accomplishment.

 

Step 3 — Set up a basic workflow

Create a workflow with one Open state and one Closed state.

 

 

 

Step 4 — Turn on Interrupt for the Open state

Make sure Interrupt is toggled on for the Open state, so the message actually pops up on the console rather than sitting unseen.

Step 5 — Set an automatic expiry

Configure an automatic expiry from the Open state to the Closed state, set to however long you want the message to stay on the operator console. Save your changes once the workflow is set up.

Step 6 — Create a Machine State trigger for run time

Create a Machine State trigger so the alert fires once the line has been running for a set amount of time — use Offset to set how far into the run the message should first appear.

 

Step 7 — Select your lines and save

Choose the lines you want this alert to run on, then save your changes.

 

Test it

Once the alert is active, hit your run-time target on a selected line and check for the message on the operator console. If nothing appears, see Why are forms not appearing on the console? to troubleshoot.
