Idle Time Threshold: This is the amount of time
that all machines under this Container can be idle

counted as Unplanned Downtime. Please see page

Planned Arc Time Per Hour: Enter the amount of
time that you expect every machine under this
Container to be welding. This value is used for
OEE calculations. Please see page 9.8 for more
details on the Performance factor of OEE.

Welders tab.
Adding a Welding Power Source
Once you have created all of your Container entries, you can begin adding Welding Power Sources to
CheckPoint™. If this is a fresh install, you already have a power source added to the system. You just need
to add the remaining power sources. Once you create the Welding Power Source entry, you must edit the
entry and specify a Container for the power source if it’s different from the company-level Container (page
4.23) and add any Planned Downtime specific to this Welding Power Source for calculations of OEE (if
applicable).
NOTE | Establishing OEE for your plant requires all information in
CheckPoint™ to work together. Please see Chapter 9 for
details on OEE and CheckPoint™.
