Our GM wanted a Line Stats screen so he and the operators could see how they were doing at any point throughout the day. We already had all the data in PLC's and SQL DB's we just needed it all put together on one screen for easy viewing.
Up to this point FactoryTalk View Studio is the only HMI program i had ever used, so i did a lot of head scratching trying to figure out how to make different things work but it was kind of fun to try something different.
Overall, it works great and they love it.
