Beamcore calculates how long an element stays on a table if no production time of its own has been filled in. You set those time norms yourself. In addition, the shop floor ticks off in the app which beams of the saw list have been sawn.
Setting production times
The production times are part of the Productie (Production) add-on (€99 per month per production line). The admin and planner roles can change them.
- Go to Productie → Productietijden (Production → Production times).
- Under Uren per m² (Hours per m²), fill in the man-hours per m² for Wand (Wall), Vloer (Floor) and Dak (Roof). Empty means no norm for that type.
- Under Extra tijd (Extra time), optionally fill in the time Per zone (wanden) (Per zone, walls), Per kozijnsparing (Per frame opening) and Per elektradoos (Per electrical box).
- Optionally switch on Normen aanpassen aan de gemeten tijden (Adjust norms to the measured times) and click Opslaan (Save).
How Beamcore calculates
The man-hours are the m² x the hours per m² for the type. For a wall, the extra time per sheathing zone is added, plus the time per frame opening and per electrical box. Beamcore takes the openings and boxes from the drawing. The man-hours are divided by the number of people at the table, rounded to a quarter of an hour. You fill in that number per table under Productietafels (Production tables), field Mensen aan de tafel (People at the table). Empty means the number of linked employees, otherwise 1.
A production time you fill in yourself for an element always takes precedence. Without a norm for the type, Beamcore uses the measured time per m², otherwise the average of the times filled in. Beamcore uses the result in the warning for an overfull day, the planning per table and the production proposal. In the production proposal the time then shows (uit tijdnormen) (from time norms).
Learning from the measurements
With learning switched on, Beamcore adjusts the norms to what has actually been measured, per type and per table. This starts as soon as at least three elements of a type have been registered with start and ready per zone. The Ingesteld en gemeten (Set and measured) block shows per type the norm, the measured time per m², the number of measured elements and the Leerfactor (Learning factor).
Ticking off the saw list in the app
The saw list is part of the Houtvoorraad & Materiaalplanning (Timber stock & Material planning) add-on (€139 per month). Work preparation creates it on the web; see the article about the saw list from the IFC model. On the shop floor you tick off in the Beamcore app what has been sawn:
- Open the saw list of the project in the app.
- Tick off per beam that it has been sawn, or tick off all beams of an element at once.
- If you have no signal for a moment, just keep ticking. The app sends the ticks as soon as there is a connection again.
The workshop role and the right to manage material can tick off. You only tick off on the latest revision. With a new revision the ticks remain for beams that have not changed.
Progress on the web
On the Materiaal (Material) tab of the project, under Zaaglijsten (Saw lists), you see the Gezaagd (Sawn) column, for example "120 van 391 gezaagd (30%)" (120 of 391 sawn). Under Bekijken (View) you see per beam who sawed it and when. Generating and correcting is done on the web.
