In this video, I explain how to manage equipment in Digit. I demonstrate how to add, name, and provide details for equipment, including setting its status and assigning it to work centers. I also show how to set default equipment for specific operation steps.

0:01 Equipment plays a critical part in Digit. You can manage equipment by clicking on the settings icon in the top map, going to the production section, and clicking on equipment.
0:10 Here you can see and manage all of the equipment that you've added. In the equipment details screen, you can see the information you can add about this equipment.
0:18 You can name it, a dedicated name, you can call it line one, line two, or you can name it something that's a little bit more detailed.
0:24 You can put in the serial number, the manufacturer, the model number, the status, you can set to active and active maintenance are required, or retired.
0:32 You can set that if all work center that this equipment belongs to, you can put one or multiple tools that you can assign to this piece of equipment, and you can select the purchasing one.
0:43 Once you've added this equipment, you can then go into your operations, and when you're building out your operation steps, you can set default equipment for specific operations.
0:53 So, if you go into this injection molding operation. You can see configuration one that we have in the fall work center, but we have no equipment.
1:02 Here, we can add our piece of equipment that we put in, and we can default any routing step that has injection mold and plastic mold cavity into this configuration.
1:13 We'll click on update, and then we'll go take a look at one of our production items. In this case, we'll look at our smartphone case blue.
1:20 We'll go into the item detail screen. We'll click on production, and we'll go into routing. And we can see now for that injection step, our default equipment of the arbor all-rounder has automatically been brought in here.
1:32 You can set multiple pieces of equipment for each operation step. So let's say you have seven injection molding machines. You can add seven of those.
1:41 To each, uh, to seven configurations for this operation. And you can have each of those pieces of equipment eligible to be run here.
1:49 When you go and do production scheduling, you'll then have the ability to choose which of the seven you actually want to run this on based on that particular piece of equipment's backlog or queue.
