Machine Downtime

The machine_downtime_event object

A period during which a machine was not running.

Downtime is what makes OEE Availability a measurement rather than an estimate. An event with no ended_at is still open, meaning the machine is down right now; a machine can only have one open event at a time.

idstring

Downtime event ID.

objectstringenumValues:machine_downtime_event

Resource type identifier.

machinemachinenullable

The machine that stopped.

idstring

Machine ID.

objectstringenumValues:machine

Resource type identifier.

namestring

Display name of the machine.

Unique within the account.

serial_numberstring

Serial number of the machine.

notesstringnullable

Free-form notes about the machine.

departmentdepartmentnullable

The department this machine belongs to.

Set when the machine is created; a machine cannot be moved to another department afterwards.

Always returned as null in this endpoint.
created_atstring (date-time)

Creation timestamp.

updated_atstring (date-time)

Last updated timestamp.

departmentdepartmentnullable

The department the machine belongs to, captured when the event was logged.

idstring

Department ID.

objectstringenumValues:department

Resource type identifier.

namestring

Display name of the department.

Unique within the account.

notesstringnullable

Free-form notes about the department.

locationlocationnullable

The storage location where this department operates.

Always returned as null in this endpoint.
scanning_stationslistnullable

Scanning stations in this department.

Always returned as null in this endpoint.
machineslistnullable

Machines in this department.

Always returned as null in this endpoint.
labor_rateratenullable

Hourly labor rate for work done in this department, such as a changeover technician.

Production scheduling costs changeovers with the constraint department's rate when one is set, falling back to the account-wide changeover labor rate setting.

Always returned as null in this endpoint.
created_atstring (date-time)

Creation timestamp.

updated_atstring (date-time)

Last update timestamp.

reasonmachine_downtime_reasonnullable

Why the machine stopped.

objectstringenumValues:machine_downtime_reason

Resource type identifier.

codestringenumValues:breakdownchangeovermaterial_shortage

Stable code identifying the reason.

namestringnullable

Display name of the reason.

oee_bucketstringnullableenumValues:availabilityperformancequality

Which OEE term this reason charges.

started_atstring (date-time)

When the machine stopped.

ended_atstring (date-time)nullable

When the machine started running again.

duration_secondsintegernullable

How long the machine was down, in seconds.

Calculated when the event is closed, and recalculated whenever its start or end time changes.

shift_atstring (date-time)

The business day the stoppage is counted against.

Taken from the calendar date of started_at, so correcting the start time can move the stoppage onto a different day's totals.

shift_codestringnullable

The shift the stoppage is counted against.

itemitemnullable

What the machine was running when it stopped.

idstring

Item ID.

objectstringenumValues:item

Resource type identifier.

skustring

Stock keeping unit code, unique within the account.

descriptionstringnullable

Item description.

notesstringnullable

Free-form notes about the item.

typestringenumValues:productmaterialpart

What kind of item this is.

  • product: a finished product.
  • material: a raw material or component consumed in production.
  • part: a part used in production.
categoryitem_categorynullable

The category this item belongs to.

The category's unit group determines the base unit the item's rates (unit_value, unit_cost, burn_rate) are expressed in.

Always returned as null in this endpoint.
unit_valueratenullable

Selling value per unit, expressed as a rate (e.g. $25.50 / kg).

Always returned as null in this endpoint.
unit_costratenullable

Cost per unit, expressed as a rate (e.g. $10.00 / kg).

For items a production flow produces, retrieving the item's costs recomputes this from the flow and stores the result here, so it can change without the item having been edited.

Always returned as null in this endpoint.
burn_rateratenullable

Rate at which this item is consumed in production, expressed as a quantity over time (e.g. 100 kg / hr).

Always returned as null in this endpoint.
attributeslistnullable

Attributes assigned to this item.

Always returned as null in this endpoint.
created_atstring (date-time)

Creation timestamp.

updated_atstring (date-time)

Last updated timestamp.

handlestringnullable

Secondary human-readable identifier (e.g. email address, username, redacted API key value).

The batch in progress when the machine stopped.

idstring

Unique identifier for the entity.

objectstringenumValues:entity

Resource type identifier.

typestringenumValues:accountactorentity

The resource kind that this entity references, as an object-type value (e.g. user, account).

Unlike object — which is always entity — this names the underlying resource the id points to.

objectstringenumValues:entity

Resource type identifier.

typestringenumValues:accountactorentity
