About the GE Production Event Policies

The GE Production Event policies are designed to serve as a starting point or template for policies to automate the creation of Production Events in GE Digital APM in response to shutdown events related to a specific GE Tag.

There are two versions of this policy:

GE Production Event Policy - Equip Cause Only
GE Production Event Policy - Equip or FLOC Cause

Note: These policies are delivered as records that are imported from the GE Digital APM distribution package. These policies also use various queries, which are delivered as baseline content and are located in the following Catalog folder: \\Public\Meridium\Modules\GE\PolicyQueries

The Equip Cause Only policy is more complex and designed to manage the situation where Production Events can be related only to Equipment. However, since it is generally more common for Production Events to be related to either Equipment or Functional Locations, this documentation focuses on the more common scenario represented by the Equip or FLOC Cause policy.

The Equip or FLOC Cause policy evaluates the most recent event associated with a GE Tag to see if it matches the event type specified in the policy instance. If the type matches, then a Production Event will be created and associated with the Equipment or Functional Location where the GE Tag is located. An alert email will also be sent to the assigned user. Finally, the Event Description and Production Unit values for the Production Event are defined by Point Value nodes that would be set to the correct values for each policy instance.

Note: This policy is provided as an example of the logic that could be used to generate an automated Production Event; additional logic could be added to match other factors than the event type. Also, relevant data such as Event Description for the newly created Production Event could be determined using a query or by logic in a Case Node, rather than setting the values in the policy Instances. Copies of the policy can be created to implement different logic needed for different types of Production Event.
