About dashboard output (operator/transporter utilization)

[tomonori_s]

[ FlexSim 19.0.9 ]

Is it possible to display on the dashboard the time when the operator is doing nothing and the time when the transporter is carrying the item? For example, where and how many times did the transporter go? It seems that you want to output the time it takes to get to that place.

model.fsm

Have you tried using any of the default state charts? They provide visual feedback on when the operator is idle.

If you need an exact number, you can use the default Stats Collector created for the State Bar Chart. Just set up a dashboard table to use the State Bar Chart as its Data Source.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have questions.

Excuse me. Confirmation was delayed due to other work.
We will check the contents and reply.

Sorry for the late reply.
I want to display the time when the operator is moving or stopped as a numerical value instead of a graph. I checked the state charts with the attached "model_v11.fsm" data, but I don't know how to set it.
Please use Ver.19 as the saved data format.

@tomonori.s,

As I noted in your other question, I don't have FlexSim 19.0 on my machine. But, I will again walk you through the process to achieve the results you need. I hope this is helpful.

1) Use the default chart to "Install" a template for tracking the data with a Statistics Collector.

2) The Statistics Collector will show up in the Toolbox and you can view the data by clicking "View Table..." in the General tab of the Properties window.

3) Next, add a basic Table Chart to the Dashboard. Then, set the Data Source to the newly-created Statistics Collector as shown:

The resulting Table Chart on the Dashboard looks like this:

I think I covered everything and I think this should answer your question, but let me know if you run into any issues implementing this.

Thank you for your response.
