In Significant parameters analytics – Addition of new sand parameters and addition of new sand related defects.
By default all available sand parameters and rejection types have been covered in respective formats.
What is the maximum limit for no of components.
No maximum limits.
Considering additives properties in analytics.
This application is all about data analytics.
Appearance of Component Name in the Significant Parameter Algorithm component Drop Box.
As & when items are produced & get reported in the Rejection Excel sheet it automatically picked up and appears in Component list in the “Foundry Sand Report” (If not entered any time previously). For every component to be picked up in the Heat Map Algorithms minimum 20 points (entries of production & rejection) are required to be uploaded. After uploading , once a Sandman model is made with all entries — If the soft ware has received minimum 20 points for a component then this component will start appearing in the Significant Parameter Algorithm drop box. Hence eventually as we go on uploading Data over a long period the required 20 points will be available & all the components individual Heat maps will be seen.
Sometimes ‘Overwrite existing data’ not visible in Sand data upload menu.
This issue can be resolved if you select the existing “New Data” Button and press “Tab” key on your Key pad. The “Over write Existing data” button will appear.
No availability of date selection in ‘Rejection heat map’, date selection is very important as we can analysis the actual rejection after cut- off date of corrective action.
