Notification channel dropdowns now have a button to manage the list of notification channels.
Added a button to view the audit log of a single user's actions.

Maintenance

Equipment and subsystems: use the Equipment tab to create equipment (standalone) or subsystems (tied to a machine). Maintenance items and issues can then be assigned to equipment separately from machines.
Archiving machines: machines that will not be used for a while should be archived to declutter the machines list and enable the correct set of maintenance items, which can now be set as needed for non-archived and/or archived machines.
Downtime categories now have additional metadata that can be used to simplify the downtime entry process:
- Maintenance-related downtime categories will offer dropdowns to link to a maintenance item and/or issue.
- Planned or unplanned maintenance categories will hide the planned checkbox.

Other changes

The global settings dialog has been simplified by moving settings relevant to only one page into the page itself and making the user list into its own page.
Improved desktop and mobile page layouts of page header buttons.
The one-time maintenance issue feature has been removed, and existing one-time maintenance issues will be merged into the downtime feature during the upgrade:
- One-time maintenance issues associated with a single downtime block will have their notes added to the notes of the downtime block.
- One-time maintenance issues associated with a machine but not with any downtime blocks will be converted to downtime on that machine.
- One-time maintenance issues associated with multiple downtime blocks are not actually one-time issues and will be kept as maintenance issues.

Removed the historical machines page dialog now that the page allows viewing multiple days.
Wizard-style interfaces now respect reduced motion.

API changes

Added GET /api/downtime for querying downtime blocks across all machines.

Some API endpoints used POST to create new objects, but that is now deprecated and will be removed in a future update. Use PUT instead for:

/api/machines
/api/processes
/api/tools/assemblies

API endpoints deprecated in a previous release have been removed:

Removed POST /api/tools/inventory/<ipt_id>/receiveOrder. Use POST /api/tools/ordering/items/<item_id>/receiveOrder instead.
Removed GET /api/machines/<id>/shiftNotes/<date>. Use GET /api/shiftNotes/list?date=<date>&machine_id=<machine_id> instead.
Removed POST /api/machines/<id>/shiftNotes/<date>. Use POST /api/shiftNotes/submit?date=<date>&machine_id=<machine_id> instead.

Active tool tracking

The tool number a machine is currently using is displayed in NC section of expanded machine cards.
Assigned tool not used alerts: when a machine completes several parts without using a tool location that has an assembly assigned in OnTakt, an alert will be created with an option to remove the tool assembly from the process to avoid falsely counting parts against its life.
Unassigned tool alerts: when a machine uses a tool that doesn't have an assembly assigned in OnTakt, an alert will be created to make sure all tool life is being counted correctly.

In addition to the UI rewrite, the following changes are included in this update:

New features

The number of parts in the chart selection area is now shown in the context menu.
The state history page now has an option to switch to week view instead of a single day.
Tool type icons have been redesigned for improved clarity.

Inventory items are now correctly removed from the suggested order list when they are no longer needed after deselecting processes from the run list.
Fixed an error that occurred when creating a missing variable alert for a machine that does not have a process loaded, resulting in no alert shown.

Client 1.6.3

4/24/2023

Fixed date inputs in variable chart and shift notes.
Fixed utilization calculating incorrectly when the first state of the day is not an active state.

Client 1.6.2

4/21/2023

Fixed date/time input for manual part creation and maintenance entries.

Server 4.9.2

4/20/2023

Fixed machine goals always charting as zero.

Server 4.9.1, Client 1.6.1

4/20/2023

New features

Combined tool & assembly creator makes it easier to get started entering tool data.
The state history chart for the selected time window is now shown under production charts.
Tool assembly tables now show the tool types each assembly contains for faster identification.
There is now a warning icon on a machine's card in place of a process if there is no active process.

Bugs fixed

The utilization calculation displayed above state history charts will now update in real time as the chart updates.
Only time in the past is considered when calculating utilization, so it will no longer be lower earlier in the day.
Better context menu event handling for charts to improve the states page on mobile devices.
The time range of state history charts is now defined by the server's time zone.
State history charts now include the first and last state in the selected time range even if extends outside the range.

Fixed production chart date navigation moving one day at a time when set to week mode.
Fixed server error when creating a tool without a maintenance status specified.

API changes

Process.last_cycle is now an object with finished and program_id fields instead of an array of the part's timestamp, the machine's ID, and the machine's name. This is not considered a breaking change because the last_value field for processes was not documented, but it is now in the API models documentation.
Added start and end parameters to the following endpoints, deprecating their date and timeRange parameters:
- GET /api/machines/:id/chart
- GET /api/machines/:id/goals
- GET /api/processes/:id/chart
- GET /api/programs/:id/chart
If the start and end timestamps supplied to GET /api/machines/:id/chart extend beyond a single day, the returned shift.start and shift.end values will be the start of the shift on the first day and the end of the shift on the last day. The shift object returned by this endpoint is now deprecated for this reason.

New features

Tool assemblies can now be linked to TMAC alarms. This will happen automatically if there is an assembly with the location indicated in the TMAC alarm, and the relevant tool can be changed for any TMAC alarm in the event editor.
Tool assemblies linked to TMAC alarms will appear in the alarm's table row under production charts.
When rebuilding a durable tool, if the chosen substitute tool is already in an assembly, it will now offer an option to move the tool from that assembly automatically.
There is now a "tool replacement minimum usage" setting. When replacing tools with usage below this threshold, either flag selection or notes entry will be required.

2/08/2023

Changes process run times in machine run report from running total to individual.
Maintenance reminders will now only be sent once between entries.
Machine part counts are once again exposed via the API as Machine.last_part_count. Note that if a machine is using a variable as a part counter, this will be the last reported value of the selected variable instead of the control's part counter.

Tools now have an "offset number" field to store the offset of the tool's data in the machine control's memory. This field is also not used by OnTakt internally at this time.
The tool torque specification field now allows a choice between metric (N⋅m) and imperial (lb⋅ft) units. This is for reference only so conversion is not performed automatically.
Tools without a life set have their usage column highlighted green in the tools table to indicate that they should be checked for wear more often until their first replacement.
Use searchable dropdowns instead of system dropdowns where possible. This makes finding items in the list faster and allows them to appear in single-window in-browser screen captures.

Bugs fixed

Fixed the internal server error that occurred when deleting machines.
Non-integral numbers are now allowed in the "notify when" field of the common variable mapping window.
In the case where a machine selection dropdown is opened when a value is already selected, it will no longer jump back to the top of the list when machine data is updated.

The tool assembly editor now has buttons to add or create tools directly.
If an "Open in TMAC" button is disabled in the event editor, a message will now explain why.
If someone else edits the notes of a part or event you are editing, it will prompt you to accept their changes or keep your own. If the part or event is deleted, the editor will close and explain why.
Tools can now be bulk-imported into a process by downloading a spreadsheet template from the process's details page under the tool assemblies table.
Added a button to duplicate maintenance items.
The time zone list in the options window is now searchable.

Kudos to you

To encourage helpful notes, you can now give kudos to other users for good documentation by clicking the reaction emoji under a note. You can choose your own personal reaction emoji in your user settings. Managers can run a kudos report to see which users received the most kudos in a given time period.

Which user gets credit for the helpful note depends on the target: for tool replacements this will be the user who replaced the tool; for parts and events it will be whoever last saved changes; and for maintenance entries and issues it will be whoever created the entry or issue.

Bugs fixed

Fixed "assigned to any loaded process" tool table filter returning all tools.
In the tool replacement wizard, the substitute tool selection is now cleared when the tool substitution option is unchecked, so the server will no longer reject these replacements.
The "create inventory item" button in the tool editor now correctly selects the newly created item.
In the variable mapping window, variables set to "never notify" will no longer show a useless and confusing value entry field.
The "Add to inventory point" option when selecting inventory items now works again.
Fixed "chamfer fill" typo of "chamfer mill" tool types.
The job ID field of TMAC events should now be populated for future alarms.
NC alarms from machines using FOCAS should no longer have garbage trailing characters.

Breaking changes

Restoring database backups is no longer allowed via the API. Use the service management panel instead.

The "received from rebuild" status is no longer available for selection in the web interface, but tools that already have this status will continue to display it, and tools can still be assigned this status via the API.
When duplicating an assembly, new names can now be specified for tools set to be duplicated.

Bugs fixed

Fixed the maintenance page machine selection not filtering maintenance issues table.
Fixed "move selected items to another inventory point" not working in the inventory verification window.
Dropdowns no longer scroll horizontally.
Unknown tool maintenances states will no longer cause errors during page rendering, and will instead show up as "(Unknown status)".
Percentage-based tool life tracking is no longer used for alerts, so the tool life reported in alerts and notifications will now match the tool life displayed in the OnTakt interface.

API changes

/api/parts now allows specifying multiple machines, and the preferred parameter name is now machine_id instead of machine.
Added /api/parts/:id for getting details of a single part.
The tmac_3 field has been removed from the Machine type. OnTakt has not supported TMAC MP for over a year.

In the variable charting window, only variables that exist on parts produced in the selected time range are listed.

Bugs fixed

The y-axis range of charted variables is no longer required to contain zero.
Audit log tables were not rendering correctly

Client 1.5.7, Server 4.8.0, Proxy 2.6.0

12/07/2022

New features

Tools now have a number of "slots". This determines how many inventory items to consume during a replacement/rebuild of the tool, is displayed next to the item name in the tool replacement/rebuild wizard, and will multiply order quantities.
The part count variable can now again be set for a machine, allowing parts from programs not in a process to count parts. If the active process on a machine has a part count variable of its own, it will override the machine's setting as long as the process is loaded.
Added a toggle in the part variable charting window to switch the x-axis of the charts from time to number of parts for even spacing.
Added a goal calculator to the process editor that will allow setting the cycle time by entering the number of parts that should be produced during each shift.

Bugs fixed

Fix server error when rebuilding a durable tool with a substitute tool selected.
Improved reliability of data from FANUC controls by disconnecting from and reconnecting to the control each time the proxy updates machine data. This was the behavior of proxy versions <2.5.0.
Fix TMAC data not being recorded on the server

Breaking API changes

Removed /api/parts/withVariables. Use /api/parts with variable parameter(s) instead.
Deprecated the day parameter of /api/parts, and it may be removed in a future server update. Use the new start and end parameters instead

Client 1.5.6, Server 4.7.6, Proxy 2.5.1

Added Previous and Next buttons to the part editor that navigate between parts in the order they appear on the chart.
Report generation errors now return a support file.
Experimental support for adding 3D printers run by OctoPrint as machines. Part counting may be unreliable at this time.
Haas macro variables are now numbered consistently with the control's numbering scheme.
Requests for data from machines are now offset by random sub-second times in order to reduce network load caused by all machines sending data at the same time.

Bugs fixed

Programs without names will no longer cause a suggested process alert.
Tool usage report generation no longer fails with an error when some tools do not have an inventory item set.
The location column of the inventory verification window now shows values again.
The tool usage tab of the part editor will now display correctly when there are tools that are not in an assembly.

Breaking changes

Demo machines must now have the demo system type explicitly selected in machine settings.
The goals data item returned by /api/machines/:id/chart is now an array of arrays instead of an object.
/socket/proxy/:machineId/:dataSrc has been removed. Use the new /socket/proxy with tagged messages instead. The proxy now uses a single socket communicate with the server for all machines instead of one per machine and TMAC unit to reduce the number of concurrent network connections each must maintain.
MTConnect XML parsing now happens on the proxy instead of the server. This should not change any behavior and offers the benefit of increased performance, but there may be unforeseen inconsistencies in data handling

Client 1.5.4

11/22/2022

Client 1.5.0, Server 4.7.0, Proxy 2.4.2

11/14/2022

Processes

Program groups have been replaced with processes, which are containers for a machine, programs, tool assemblies, and settings that define a real-world process.

During the upgrade

Program groups that contain at least one program will be converted to processes automatically.
If a program group contains programs from multiple machines, the machine to which the most programs belong will be kept in the process, and all other programs will be ungrouped.
Settings from a group's programs will be combined into the settings for the process using the following rules:
- Common variable map: merge all program maps into one superset map
- Cycle time: average of program settings
- Parts per cycle: most common of program settings
- Part count variable: most common of program settings
Tools that are assigned to program groups and already in assemblies and will have their assembly added to the new process created for the program group.
Tools that are assigned to program groups but not in an assembly will be placed into new assemblies named with the program group and tool location, and then the new assembly will be added to the new process. If multiple tools assigned to the same program group are in the same location, they will be added to the same assembly.
Tool reorder notifications are now configured in the options window.

Other new features

Tool assemblies can now be duplicated.
Tool assemblies can now be merged.
Tools now have a "torque specification" field.
Added tool types for holders and bodies.
Changed labels on tool replacement cancellation confirmation buttons to be more intuitive.
Allow shop users to edit event notes.
Added an API endpoint (POST /api/machines/:id/update) and a "custom" machine system type for building custom machine integrations using Caron MiConnect or other software.
Tool assembly and location are now shown in the tool replacement detail window.
View combined replacement and rebuild history for all tools in an assembly.
Tool rebuild status is shown in the notes column of the tools table for tools that have it set.
Mark parts as "reworked" and they will appear yellow in part charts
In addition to selecting many parts at once to scrap, you can now remove their scrapped status and change their reworked status in bulk as well. Just right-click the part selection and click "Flag".
Inventory items now have only one part number for all suppliers.
Tools will keep track of which inventory item they were using at the time of replacement to allow for easier analysis of longevity between equivalent items.

Bugs fixed

Fix "Add Supplier" button not working when creating a new inventory item.
Fix the audit log undo button not working in most cases.
Show undefined OEE as 0% instead of N/A.
Fix error when deleting a tool that is in an assembly.
Tool active time ("in use for x days") was shown in tools table even when the lifetime expectancy was not set on the tool.

FANUC compatibility improvements

The proxy now reads the main program instead of the current sub-program, so program names should now be consistent between parts.
To improve communication reliability, only variables set in OnTakt for program selection, part counting, or in the current process's variable map will be read from the machine.
Feed rate override is now read from machines with FANUC controls.

Known issues

Tool replacements created prior to updating will show up on all production charts of all machines. This is because the data associating tool replacements to a machine was not previously recorded. Tool replacements created after updating will be associated to a given process and therefore only a single machine.
If tools are assigned to multiple program groups, it is not determinate which process they will end up assigned to. This should be reviewed manually after the upgrade.
Downgrading after installing this upgrade will result in a loss of data (tool and program assignments will be removed), so make sure to take a backup of the OnTakt database before upgrading to this version.

Breaking changes

Functionality

Program groups have been removed and more or less replaced by processes.
Tools cannot be directly assigned to programs or processes; they must be placed into an assembly and then the assembly can be assigned to a process.
When sorting the tools table by usage, tools without a part life set are now treated as having an infinite part life

Data model

Tools no longer have a location directly; this must be set on their assembly.
part_count_cv can no longer be set on a machine directly; it must be set on a process.
time_per_part, cv_map, parts_per_cycle, and part_count_cv can no longer be set on programs directly; they must be set on a process.
Tools no longer have a redundant monitoring property. If the monitoring_dest property is set to a non-null value, monitoring is enabled.
The ToolOrderItem type has been renamed to InventoryItem.
The order_item and order_item_id properties of the Tool type have been renamed to inventory_item and inventory_item_id.

API

Removed /api/program_groups/...
Moved GET /api/programs/variables to GET /api/processes/variables
Replaced GET /api/tools/replacements/program/:id with GET /api/tools/replacements/process/:id
Removed POST /api/parts/scrap; call POST /api/parts/flag with {"scrapped": true} instead.
The order_item query parameter of GET /api/tools/ has been renamed to inventory_item.
The order_items field returned by POST /api/tools/inventory/:id/receiveOrder is now called inventory_items

Client 1.2.0, Server 4.4.0, Proxy 2.4.0

7/27/2022 This update can take a few minutes longer than usual to install because usage breakdowns for all existing tool replacements must be back-calculated. During this time, OnTakt may not be available. Please keep this in mind while deciding when to install this update.

New features

Click the pin button for a tool on the tools page to keep it at the top of the table when sorting. The pinned state of a tool is shared across all users.
Tool replacement breakdowns are saved when the tool is replaced, so the data will not change if the tool is unassigned from programs/groups.

Part and event editor windows now open reliably when using the buttons in the tables on the machine production pages instead of clicking on the chart.

Reporting

Production overview (heatmap) windows now clear when opening instead of showing irrelevant data.
Production overview generation is now more accurate when counting parts produced shortly before or after midnight, and about 53 times faster overall.
Periodic machine reports sent to Slack/Teams will now be for the current day instead of yesterday.

Tool management

Favorite tools are now respected by all tool filter modes.
Tool replacements that index the tool past the number of corners set on the order item will be rejected.

Machine connection

The current part count is now read at the correct memory address from FANUC controls, so it is no longer necessary to use a macro variable for all programs.
Alarm names are now read at the correct memory address from FANUC controls, so they will no longer show up missing the first four characters.
For TMAC alarms, the jobId field will contain the ID of the current job, in addition to the current job field that contains its name.

Breaking changes

The physical attributes tab of the tool order item editor has been removed. This data is still accessible for reading and writing via the API.
