Create factory and lines

This article explains the process of registering the physical entities i.e. factories, lines, and stations.

Open Inspection Studio

Click the down arrow adjacent to Copilot on the application screen, and select Inspection Studio.

The Inspection studio screen displays the Dashboard by default, along with the other icons on the left navigation panel representing the Factories, Station Groups, and Analytics. For more information on each of these icons, refer to Overview of the Inspection Studio.

• Dashboard: This screen lists all the factories with lines and stations and the current health status and metrics.

• Factories: This screen lists all the factories you create.

• Station Groups: Depending on your business, each line might require different stations hosted under a corresponding Station Group. You can create the groups from this screen.

• Analytics: This screen helps you to view the analytics for a specific factory based on the line and station details and specified parameters for analysis.
