Adding a Machine Type:

When adding a machine type, you need to provide specific information. Follow these instructions:

  1. Enter the name of the machine type.
  2. Specify the cost per minute per machine for this machine type. Initially, you can consult with the Garment IO support team to determine the appropriate cost. However, after running the system for a few weeks, the system will automatically calculate the cost based on actual usage.
  3. The system will automatically display the number of machines and processes associated with this machine type and connected devices. This information provides an overview of the resources allocated to each machine type.


By adding machine types, you can effectively categorize and monitor different machines used in your production processes. This allows for better resource management and analysis of machine performance.
