Machine usage reports
The six-month trend, top products per machine, and what the all-time totals count.
Each machine's detail page has a Reports tab showing what that machine has actually produced. It answers the questions you cannot eyeball from the shop floor: which press is carrying the work, and what it is carrying.
What it shows
- Six-month trend — output per month, so seasonality and decline are visible.
- Top products — the eight products this machine runs most.
- All-time totals — everything it has produced since you registered it.
Figures come from completed production jobs, so a job left unfinished contributes nothing. If a machine looks idle on paper but busy in reality, unfinished jobs are the first thing to check.
Using it
| What you see | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| One press carrying most of the volume | A bottleneck, and your first candidate for replacement |
| A machine with almost no output | Either genuinely spare capacity, or work being logged against the wrong press |
| Volume falling month on month | Worth checking against overall sales in Reports before assuming a machine problem |
| High volume plus frequent waste | A maintenance conversation |
Pair it with the maintenance tab
A machine on a production-based schedule earns its service through this output. High volume and an approaching status together are the clearest signal to book a service before it books itself.
