Understanding the Dashboard Screen

The Dashboard view organizes your mix information into cards and tiles. This guide explains the specific layout, buttons, and status indicators used in this view.

The Exit / Pause Button

Located in the top-left corner, pressing this button pauses the mix and opens a dialog with three options.

The Options:

1. Save for Recovery: Select this if you need to stop now but finish later (e.g., swapping a tote). It saves your current state.

2. Save and Complete: Select this if you are done. This finalizes the mix and saves it to history.

3. Cancel: Returns you to the dashboard to keep working.

Mix Status Card

The Mix Status Card is unique to the Dashboard view. It acts as the "instrument cluster" for the machine.

Key Indicators:

• Voltage: Displays the electrical voltage reading at the power module (the white box behind the status light).

• Mixed Total: A running total of the entire batch so far.

• Overall Flowrate: The combined speed of all products flowing into the tank at this moment.

Product Cards: Small Layout (Tiles)

In the Dashboard view, products appear as tiles. This allows you to see the status of many products at once.

Key Fields:

• Name: The product name.

• Plumbing: Which valve or pump is controlling this product.

• Actual: How much has been added so far.

• Target: The total amount required.

Status Colors & Animations The visual indicators on the tiles function differently than the list view:

• White/Gray: Waiting. The product has not started yet.

• Clockwise Orange Fill: In Progress. The background fills up in a clockwise motion as the product is added (like a pie chart).

• Shaded Overlay: Rinsing or Pre-filling is active.

• Green: Complete. The target amount has been reached.

Product Cards: Large Layout (Standard)

When you tap a tile or the machine requires your input, the card expands to the Large Layout. This is used for manual additions, typically through an inductor.

Key Buttons:

• Continuous Flow: Switches to "Continuous Flow" mode for large dry batches (requires a set container size).

• Drain Inductor: Records the weight, drains the inductor, and resets for the next batch.

• Finish Step: Marks the product as complete.

  • Note: If using a Pro Inductor, closing the lid acts as pressing this button.

Product Cards: Large Layout (Continuous Flow)

This mode is designed for adding multiple containers of dry flowables. It maintains a water level in the inductor automatically so you can pour continuously without clogging.

How it Works:

• Container Size: Displays the size of one bag/jug.

• (+) Add: Adds one full container to the total count.

• (-) Remove: Removes one container from the count (to fix errors).

• Return: Goes back to the standard view.

• Finish Step: Press this when you have finished pouring all containers.
