Required Input Data¶
In order to perform proper replenishment time and consumption time calculations, and to detect the issues that are described in detail in the Insights Hub Intralogistics Basics Chapter, the following input data is required.
| Variable | Common Datatype | Mandatory | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Channel Name | STRING/INT | Yes | Reflects the Name |
| Channel Length | INT | Yes | Describes the number of containers in the material channel |
| Channel Type | STRING | Yes | Can either be FIFO or Parallel (PAR) |
| Minimum Fill Level | INT | Yes | Describes the minimum amount of containers in the material channel. Once this is reached a reordering is triggered by the E-Kanban system |
| Replenishment Time | INT | Yes | Is the system given replenishment time until material, once it is reordered, has to be back at the channel |
| Location | STRING/INT | No | Shows the location in the factory |
| Production Line | STRING/INT | No | Gives the Production Line name |
| Sensor IDs | STRING/INT | No | Sensor IDs can be added to the system |
| Sensor values | INT | Yes | Shows the current status of the position in a material channel. If the position is filled with a container the value should be 1, if the position is empty the value should be 0 |
| Battery Status | INT/DOUBLE | No | Enables the tracking of the battery status of sensors. Value should be between 0 and 100% |
