Material Movement Detection

Material Movement Detection

Several new features have been added to the Material Movement Detection component.
  • New equipment types have been added into the smart library and many of them now come with a pre-coded is_feeding method. The is_feeding method is essential for any piece of equipment to actively participate in a feed chain. The feed chain is the piece of code that detects and calculates material movements and uses those material movements to populate the material ledger.
  • Previously, any piece of equipment that didn't have an is_feeding method in it’s class script stopped the Feed Chain. This has been changed to simply treat the equipment as a piece of flow through equipment. The Feed Chain code skips that piece of equipment and goes up to the next item in the feed chain.
  • In the material flow diagram you can now see much clearer reasoning provided from the feed chain. You can now see when the start of the movement material movement was detected and when the end of the material movement was detected. There is also reasoning that shows exactly how far and which routes the chain feed found that connected two accounts together, making it infinitely easier to debug the can-feed relationship.
