Each time a tool's location changes, OnTakt creates a record that includes the new location information.
OnTakt considers a tool to have changed location when any of the following occur:
- Tool moves into an assembly (or between assemblies)
- Tool assembly's location number changes
- Tool assembly moves into a process (or between processes)
Reporting
The tool location history report shows the list of tools that have been used at a specific location number on a specific machine within a selected period of time.
Each record shows:
- The timestamp of when the tool was put into that location
- The name of the tool
- The name of the tool's assembly
- The name of the active process that linked the tool assembly to the machine
This is mostly useful for seeing which specific durable tools have been installed in a particular location over time.
