Overview

The Trends widget shows performance over time, with flexible units, views, and time ranges.

Why it matters

Day-to-day reports can hide patterns. Tracking trends reveals underlying issues or progress toward goals that only show up across weeks or shifts.

How it works

  • Choose shifts, units (percentages, hours, or minutes), and whether to include weekends.

  • Display data as a chart, table, or both.

  • See per-device data, averages, and targets.

How to apply

  • Share weekly trend reports to monitor progress on utilization or OEE goals.

  • Spot underperforming shifts that might otherwise go unnoticed.

  • Use tables for detailed reviews, charts for quick summaries in meetings.

Tips and pitfalls

  • Exclude weekends if they don’t reflect typical production.

  • Avoid looking only at averages—outliers can point to systemic issues.
