Connect a measurement tool
|
|
==========================

.. _iot/devices/measurement-tool:
|
|
|
|
With Odoo's :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, it is possible to connect measurement tools to the
|
|
Odoo database for use in the *Quality app* on a quality control point/quality check, or for use in a
|
|
work center during the manufacturing process.
|
|
|
|
Find the list of supported devices here: `Supported devices
|
|
<https://www.odoo.com/page/iot-hardware>`_.
|
|
|
|
Connect with universal serial bus (USB)
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
To add a device connected by :abbr:`USB (Universal Serial Bus)`, plug the :abbr:`USB (Universal
|
|
Serial Bus)` cable into the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, and the device appears in the Odoo
|
|
database.

Connect with bluetooth
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Activate the Bluetooth functionality on the device (see the device manual for further explanation),
|
|
and the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box automatically connects to the device.

Link a measurement tool to a quality control point in the manufacturing process
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
|
|
In the *Quality app*, a device can be set up on a quality control point. To do that, navigate to
|
|
:menuselection:`Quality app --> Quality Control --> Control Points`, and open the desired control
|
|
point to which the measurement tool should be linked.
|
|
|
|
From here, edit the control point, by selecting the :guilabel:`Type` field, and clicking
|
|
:guilabel:`Measure` from the drop-down menu. Doing so reveals a field called :guilabel:`Device`,
|
|
where the attached device can be selected.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, :guilabel:`Norm` and :guilabel:`Tolerance` can be configured. :guilabel:`Save` the
|
|
changes, if required.
|
|
|
|
At this point, the measurement tool is linked to the chosen quality control point. The value, which
|
|
usually needs to be changed manually, is automatically updated while the tool is being used.

|
|
.. tip::
|
|
Quality control points can also be accessed by navigating to :menuselection:`IoT App -->
|
|
Devices`, then select the device. There is a :guilabel:`Quality Control Points` tab, where they
|
|
can be added with the device.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
On a quality check detail form, the :guilabel:`Type` of check can also be specified to
|
|
:guilabel:`Measure`. Access a new quality check detail page, by navigating to
|
|
:menuselection:`Quality app --> Quality Control --> Quality Checks --> New`.

|
Link a measurement tool to a work center in the Manufacturing app
|
|
=================================================================
|
|
|
|
To link a measurement tool to an action, it first needs to be configured on a work center. To do
|
|
that, navigate to :menuselection:`Manufacturing app --> Configuration --> Work Centers`. Then,
|
|
select the desired work center in which the measurement tool will be used.
|
|
|
|
On the work center page, add the device in the :guilabel:`IoT Triggers` tab, under the
|
|
:guilabel:`Device` column, by selecting :guilabel:`Add a Line`. Then, the measurement tool can be
|
|
linked to the :guilabel:`Action` drop-down menu option labeled :guilabel:`Take Measure`. A key can
|
|
be added to trigger the action.
|
|
|
|
.. important::
|
|
It should be noted that the first listed trigger is chosen first. The order matters, and these
|
|
triggers can be dragged into any order.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
On the :guilabel:`Work Order` screen, a status graphic indicates whether the database is
|
|
correctly connected to the measurement tool.
