Specific Jobs Run on Multiple Machines Visualizations

[SploshyyY]

I am currently trying to create a visual that will allow me to display multiple machines with multiple jobs running at specific start and stop times. I have all the start/stop data and which machine the part number was run on. My data is all down to the minute in terms of production time. I have plans to eventually relate other variables to these run times to analyze all changing variables. I want to start with this visual so that I can compare jobs that run together at the same time. All visuals I have tried have trouble importing the dates and jobs compared to the specific machine it ran on. Almost like there are too many constraints on one run. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

All visuals have limits on how many data points they can display. Sometimes 1000, sometimes 5000 etc. Your minute level granularity means you need 1440 data points per machine per day. That can quickly exceed the capabilities of the visuals.

Do you have a general idea of how the result should look like? What are the business decisions you will drive from the data?

My goal was to have all four machines on the left side of the visual, with the timeline on the "X-axis" and a "stacked bar graph" showing each job on each machine along the timeline. We have additional data that would come into play after the fact, such as temp data, mold data, and scrap for each run. With the limits on the displays, I will either have to start with a smaller set of data or work in 15-30 minute increments. Is there any way to increse the number of data points a visualization can support?

You can create your own visuals of course, but these limits exist for a reason (or a couple of reasons). Keep in mind that a standard monitor only has 1920 pixels to work with, and with all the side ornaments it's likely to be more like 1000.
