After a successful login, the system will display the Dashboard home page, where previously created dashboards will be visible. In the upper right corner of the screen there is a menu icon that allows you to change the interface language.

Creating Dashboards

Method 1: From the Dashboard Home Page

To create a dashboard, click on "Empty Dashboard".

Then enter the dashboard name and click "Create".

Method 2: From the Admin Panel

1. Go to the "Dashboard" tab, then select "Dashboards".
2. In the upper right corner of the screen, click the "New: Dashboard" button.
3. After filling in the form, confirm the creation of the new dashboard.

Renaming an Existing Dashboard

1. Go to the "Dashboard" tab, then select "Dashboards".
2. Find the appropriate dashboard on the list of available dashboards.
3. Click the three-dot icon and select "Edit".

Adding Widgets – Dashboard Configuration

 

1. Click on the selected dashboard.
2. Switch to "Edit Mode" by clicking the appropriate icon.

3. A panel with a "+" icon will appear on the left side of the screen – click it.

 4. The system will display a list of available widgets – select the appropriate one and click "Create".

Note: Each widget can be:

•  moved around the dashboard,
•  resized,
•  arranged freely according to user needs.

Available Widgets

1. Widget "Map"

Used for a graphical representation of the facility layout with workstation placement and real-time status visualization.

a) Creating a workstation sketch without a room plan uploaded to the system

1. Go to your dashboard and select "Edit Mode".
2. Add the "Map" widget, click "Create", then click "Cancel" when the plan selection dialog appears.
3. You can then manually sketch areas representing workstations and assign the appropriate data to them.

After clicking on a sketched area, the system will display (above the workspace) a menu with a list of workstations created in your organization in the admin panel. If no workstations have been created yet, the list will be empty. In that case, further work with the widgets will require creating and configuring a workstation. If needed, please refer to the workstation configuration guide.

If workstations are displayed on the list, you can continue with the configuration.

Select one of the workstations from the list. The system will automatically fill the area with the color of the status currently set for the selected work

b) Using a room plan

1. In the admin panel, go to "Dashboard" > "Room Plans".
2. Click "Create Room Plan", enter a name, attach a file, and confirm.
3. In the Dashboard, select the plan when creating the "Map" widget.

Note: The file must not exceed 10 MB and must be saved in JPG or PNG format. To reduce file size if needed, you can use free compression tools or a graphics editor (e.g., GIMP, Photoshop).

The room plan will be displayed on the dashboard and can be zoomed in or out as needed. Further configuration follows the same steps as creating a sketch without a room plan – with the difference that now you can precisely define the location of your workstations on the map of your facility.

2. Widget "Workplace Metrics"

Allows real-time presentation of selected performance indicators for a single or multiple workplace.

From a long list of metrics, you can tailor the necessary performance indicators for one workplace or select a given indicator for multiple workplace. Each dashboard can be displayed on individual monitors/TVs placed on the production floor, etc.

3. Widget "Metrics Pie Chart"

 
Enables visualization of workstation data in the form of a pie chart. In the form, indicate the appropriate metrics and workstation, then save the settings.
 

1. On the relevant dashboard, click the "+" field and select the third widget from the list – "Metrics Pie Chart" – then click "Create".
2. In the form, under the "Workstation" tab, select a workstation from the list.
3. Under the "Metrics" tab, select the individual metrics in the desired order to be displayed on the chart.
4. After selecting the metrics, confirm by clicking the "Save" button.

ℹ️ Note: The metrics list is long. After making your selection, collapse the metrics list – the "Save" button will then become visible.
 

4. Widget "PromQL Chart"

 
An advanced widget based on the PromQL query language, enabling dynamic analysis of time-series metrics (OEE, machine uptime, performance, errors, etc.).
 
Note: To configure this widget, you need a Prometheus server address. Configuration is handled individually by the technical team. If needed, please contact: support@andoncloud.com
 
Example use cases:
 

• Machine uptime: Displaying an uptime chart for machines, tracking how long devices were active in a given period.
• Failure rate: A chart showing the number of machine failures or errors over time.
• Production line efficiency: Analysis of the number of units produced over time.
• OEE: Charts showing key indicators such as availability, performance, and quality.
• Worker workload: Charts showing working hours in a given period (e.g., per hour, per day).
• Response time to issues: Monitoring employee response times to reported alarms.
• Human error analysis: Tracking the number of errors attributed to personnel.
• Shift performance comparison: Analysis of historical data to identify trends, e.g., a drop in performance on night shifts.
• Effectiveness assessment after changes: Monitoring indicators after process modifications or new technology implementations.

5. Widget "Metrics Table"

 
Presents metric data in a tabular layout. In the configuration form, indicate the workstation and the metrics to be displayed.

6. Widget "Status Change History (Current Shift)"

 
Allows viewing of current status changes for multiple workstations within a single production shift.
 
By setting up a dashboard for, e.g., the maintenance department, employees have an overview of several/all workstations at once. A status change to, for example, "Failure" signals that immediate action should be taken to address it.
 

7. Widget "Workplace Statuses"

 
Displays all workstations that currently have a selected status (e.g., "Failure" or "Service"). If no selection is made during widget creation, all workstations are displayed by default. The widget can be customized via the gear icon visible in edit mode. You must specify:
 

• Status colors
• The list of workstations to be visible
