For your machines that need very little supervision or can run entirely on their own, we’ve updated our system to reflect the difference between operator time and machine time. You’ll now have the option to mark equipment, work centers, and operations as being able to run unattended in your system setup, then specify in routings whether the machine will run unattended during the production of this specific item. To help keep your schedules as accurate as possible, unattended work is then scheduled to start during regular shift hours, but can continue running after the end of normal shift hours.
This change will also change estimates in the job costing section to break out labor costs vs machine cost.
