Setting Up Production Lines ​

This tutorial walks you through configuring your production lines, stations, checklists, and machines from scratch.

Prerequisites ​

• You must have manager or admin access to your company.
• At least one project should be set up to test the configuration.

Step 1: Create a Production Line ​

1. In the left menu, in company-wide mode, open Production Settings > Production lines.
2. Click the New Production Line tile at the top of the view.
3. Fill in the form:
   • Name — A descriptive name for the line (e.g., "Wall Panel Line 1").
   • Tipo — Select which constructible categories this line produces (assemblies, modules and/or parts).
   • Client ID — Optional. Add one or more external identifiers if this line needs to be matched from an external system (e.g. ERP). You can add multiple IDs if the line is referenced by more than one system.
4. Click Save.

Step 2: Add Stations ​

Stations represent the sequential steps in your production process.

1. In the row of the production line you just created, click the New Production station tile. To reuse a station you already have, use Add existing station instead.
2. Configure the station:
   • Name — E.g., "Framing", "Cladding", "Quality Check".
   • Client ID — Optional external identifier if integrating with other systems.
   • Zones — Which zones this station handles (e.g., zone 0 for a typical framing station).
   • Machine station — If this is a machine station (e.g., Mobi One), tick it and pick the machine setup. You can also do this later, once the setup exists (see Step 4).
3. Click Save, and repeat for each station in your production process.

Step 3: Add Checklist Items ​

Each station can have checklist tasks that production workers must complete.

1. Open a station with its edit button and, in the Checklist block, click Add item.
2. Configure:

   • Task text — The instruction shown to the worker (e.g., "Check frame alignment").

   • DOCS — Optional documentation for the task (guidelines, specifications). Available once the station has been saved.

   • Enable when — Always, or only when the design has one of the task's Branches or Zones (If Branch in Design, If Zone in Design, If Branch in Zone of Design). If all Branches in Design needs every branch of the task in the design, and If no Branch in Design includes the task only when none of them is.

   • QC Inclusion Criteria — Choose how often this task appears:

     • All proofs — Every constructible gets this task.
     • 1/n — Added once every n constructibles (for periodic quality checks).
     • 1/n randomized — Same as 1/n but at random intervals.

     The count is kept per batch and per station.

   • Require form, QR field, Require picture — Optional. What the worker has to fill in, scan or photograph to complete the task.

3. Repeat for all tasks at this station, then click Save.

The task in the middle of the station form above is one checklist item: task text, zones, Enable when, QC Inclusion Criteria and, on the right, the docs and what the task requires.

Step 4: Set Up Machines (Optional) ​

If any station uses automated equipment (e.g., a Mobi One):

1. Open Production Settings > Machine Settings.
2. Click the New Machine setup tile, give it a name and pick the Model.
3. Configure the machine settings (see Mobi One for an example) and click Save.
4. Back in Production lines, edit the station, tick Machine station and pick the setup. For a line that is one machine, such as a saw line, tick Line machine in the line form instead.

Step 5: Test Your Configuration ​

1. Open a project that has designs and constructibles.
2. Start production on a constructible in the Viewer.
3. Verify that:
   • The correct stations appear in order.
   • Checklist tasks are shown for each station.
   • Machine files can be generated (if applicable).

Next Steps ​

• Build a Project — Upload files and generate designs.
• IFC Parsing Setup — Configure how IFC files are interpreted.
• Production Planning — Schedule constructibles on the calendar.
