About Plant Applications Web Client

Plant Applications Web Client acts as a container of the applications for managing work orders as described in the following table.

Application	Description
Unit Operations	Displays a list of operations associated with a work order. You can track the progress of completion of an operation, access reference documents, provide data for quality variables, specify consumption of BOM items, and create a defect.
Non Conformance	Displays a list of nonconformities raised as defects on serial numbers or material lots. The application includes details for each defect and enables you to select a disposition plan for each defect or access a record of the disposition plan taken on each defect.
Work Order Manager	Displays the status, progress, and priority of work orders. You can also modify a work order and its plan, access the work order, history, defects, and manage the planned dates of a work order, if required.
Route Editor	Displays the routes used to manufacture a product. You can create routes, add operations to the route, assign BOM items, equipment, documents, and properties to the operations, and release a route for use in a work order.
Work Queue	Displays a list of operations that are ready or in progress. You can add operations to the queue, track the progress of completion of an operation, access reference documents, provide data for quality variables, specify consumption of BOM items, and create a defect. You can clock on, complete, record completed quantity, and/or raise defects on multiple serials/lots at the same time.
Time Booking	Enables an operator or supervisor to view labor records (timesheet), add missing time records, and modify the applied time of a previously submitted record.
Property Definition	Displays a list of property definitions tailored to the requirements of your business. The application also displays the property groups and categories to which a property definition belongs.
Security	Displays a list of applications to which the logged-in user has access.
Configuration	Enables a system integrator to perform the following tasks in the Unit Operations and Work Queue applications: Show or hide the tabs. Add and configure custom tabs. Integrate external applications and services.
Approval Cockpit	Enables an administrator to configure, execute, and track approval workflows for action events.
Downtime	Displays the list of KPIs and downtime events for the machines assigned to the operator.
OEE Dashboard	Displays an overview of the OEE, Quality, Performance, and Availability KPIs. Additional information about each KPI is displayed as Pareto and Waterfall charts.
Reports	Displays KPI reports and production status of the plant by department, line, and unit. It also provides information about Planned vs. Actuals for each KPI.
My Machines	Enables an operator to subscribe and monitor the required machines for downtime events.
Analysis	Plots historical and live charts to visualize time series data available in Plant Applications and Historian. Displays information for production batches in the form of a Gantt chart.
OEE Aggregation Store	Calculates and stores OEE data in a database so that it is quickly accessible. The OEE data can be calculated at the site level. The OEE data can be refreshed at a configured interval.
Activities	Displays the activities planned within the duration of a shift. You can add an activity for an event within the shift duration, and then any user can perform the activity within the shift duration.
Process Orders	Monitors the progress of the process orders. Active process orders track actual production and quantities against process orders, and display remaining quantities, planned quantities, planned start times, and planned end times.
Alarms	Triggers alarm notifications based on rules configured in Plant Applications Administrator.
Waste	Enables an operator or supervisor to create records for a waste event and associate it with a production event.
Receiving Inspection	Enables a material engineer or a quality engineer to receive material lots from an ERP application, perform an inspection on the material lot samples, and submit the inspection results. If a serial/lot is defective, a non-conformance can be created and disposed before submitting the inspection results.
BOM Editor	Enables you to create and maintain BOM Formulations.
Genealogy	Allows you to trace or track the real-time details of any serial/lot such as current status, location, initial and current quantities, what raw materials the serial/lot consumed, where the serial/lot was used, what triggered its execution, and how did it come to be manufactured in the MES
