Modules

"Modules" are like tabs in Ontakt and are located near the top of the Ontakt page. Click on the name of a module below the image to learn more about it.

Modules are highlighted in yellow

Machines

"States" can be accessed via the drop down arrow

Machines are the largest unit of organization, meaning that any other items (programs, parts, events) and their data collected belongs to a machine.

Processes

A process is the combination of a machine, a set of programs from that machine, a set of tool assemblies that are used for the process, and settings that define the behavior of OnTakt while that process is running.

Programs

Each machine has a set of programs that it has reported. OnTakt creates a new program item for each filename the machine reports having loaded even if no parts or events are recorded.

Tools

A tool is a physical tool present in a machine. Tools have a defined number of parts it can produce before requiring replacement, and they track how many parts have been produced between replacements.

Maintenance

Maintenance items are regular tasks that are performed for the shop as a whole or on a single machine. They can be scheduled to show up as alerts in OnTakt on an interval measured in hours, days, or weeks, with instructions for completing the maintenance item.

Maintenance issues are occasional maintenance items that can optionally be scheduled.

Reports

Reports allow you to run simple analyses of collected data from inside OnTakt.

Settings

The settings window allows administrators to change how OnTakt behaves.
