        "outputs": 4,


Perfect! Now I can see the flow clearly:

1. Fetch Graph Data (fetch_graph_data_node_id)
   → DB Guard (Graphs) (db_guard_db_guard_graphs)
   → mariaDB (Graph Data) (graph_mariadb_node)
   → Format Graph Data (format_graph_data_node_id)
   → output to "8e589c36104b3f0d"

The problem is:
- Fetch Graph Data sets msg.topic = "kpiHistory" (a string)
- DB Guard checks if topic is a string (it passes)
- Then it sends to MariaDB node with topic="kpiHistory"
- MariaDB node tries to execute "kpiHistory" as a SQL query → this will fail!

The solution:
Fetch Graph Data should have TWO outputs:
1. When using global context (kpiHistory), bypass the DB and go directly to Format Graph Data
2. When using database queries, go through the DB Guard → MariaDB → Format Graph Data

Actually, looking more carefully, since I changed Fetch Graph Data to ALWAYS use global context now, I should just change the wiring so it bypasses the database entirely.

But wait, let me check what node "8e589c36104b3f0d" is - that's where Format Graph Data sends its output.


1710:        "id": "8e589c36104b3f0d",

1710:        "id": "8e589c36104b3f0d",


Let me read that node to see what it is.

Good, so Format Graph Data sends to a link out node which links to "394cfca6b72f6444". Let me find that node.

    },
    {
        "id": "394cfca6b72f6444",

        "wires": [
            [
                "f3a4b5c6d7e8f9a0"
            ]
        ]
    },
    {


Perfect! So the flow is:1. Fetch Graph Data → DB Guard → MariaDB → Format Graph Data → link out → link in → f3a4b5c6d7e8f9a0 (Graphs Template)

And f3a4b5c6d7e8f9a0 is the Graphs Template node (confirmed from line 452 earlier).

The problem is clear now:
- Fetch Graph Data sets msg.topic = "kpiHistory"
- This gets sent to the MariaDB node which tries to execute "kpiHistory" as SQL
- This will fail or return an error
- Format Graph Data never receives valid data

The solution:
I need to modify Fetch Graph Data to have it send messages directly to Format Graph Data, bypassing the database entirely when using global context data.

Actually, looking at the function more carefully, there's another approach: I could modify the wiring. But the easier fix is to change the Fetch Graph Data function to use a second output that bypasses the DB.

Wait, let me check the current number of outputs for Fetch Graph Data. According to line 1625, it has "outputs": 1.

The simplest fix is to change the wiring in the flows.json so that Fetch Graph Data goes directly to Format Graph Data instead of going through the DB.

Let me create a script to fix this wiring issue.


I found the issue! The problem is in the data flow. Let me trace it:

1. **Fetch Graph Data** sets `msg.topic = "kpiHistory"` (not a SQL query)
2. It sends to **DB Guard** → **MariaDB node**
3. MariaDB tries to execute "kpiHistory" as SQL → **This fails!**
4. Format Graph Data never receives valid data
5. Graphs Template gets no data

The fix: Since we're using global context instead of database queries, Fetch Graph Data should bypass the database and go directly to Format Graph Data.

Let me create a script to fix this wiring:


Write

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import json

with open('/home/mdares/.node-red/flows.json', 'r') as f:
    flows = json.load(f)

# Find Fetch Graph Data node and change its wiring
for node in flows:
    if node.get('id') == 'fetch_graph_data_node_id':
        # Change wiring from db_guard_db_guard_graphs to format_graph_data_node_id
        # This bypasses the database entirely
        node['wires'] = [['format_graph_data_node_id']]
        print("✓ Updated Fetch Graph Data to send directly to Format Graph Data (bypass DB)")
        break

with open('/home/mdares/.node-red/flows.json', 'w') as f:
    json.dump(flows, f, indent=4)

print("✓ flows.json updated - graphs should now receive data")

        # Change wiring from db_guard_db_guard_graphs to format_graph_data_node_id
        # This bypasses the database entirely
        node['wires'] = [['format_graph_data_node_id']]
        print("✓ Updated Fetch Graph Data to send directly to Format Graph Data (bypass DB)")
        break

with open('/home/mdares/.node-red/flows.json', 'w') as f:
    json.dump(flows, f, indent=4)

print("✓ flows.json updated - graphs should now receive data")


Good, now let me run this script to fix the wiring, then restart Node-RED.

timeout 10 journalctl -u nodered -f --no-pager 2>&1 | grep -i "FETCH GRAPH\|GRAPH DATA" || echo "No graph messages yet"

Monitor Node-RED for graph data messages


No graph messages yet
Terminated


The graphs aren't being fetched yet. This is because the Graphs Template initial load might not be triggering, or the KPI history arrays might be empty. Let me check if there's data in the KPI history by looking at the logs for the Record KPI History function, and also check if the Graphs Template is loading properly.

Actually, thinking about this more carefully:
1. The Graphs Template has a setTimeout(500ms) to call refreshGraphData() on initial load
2. This should send a message with topic='fetch-graph-data' to Fetch Graph Data
3. But we might not be seeing the logs because it already happened during startup

Let me check the recent logs to see if there were any graph-related messages during startup.


journalctl -u nodered --since "2 minutes ago" --no-pager | grep -i "fetch\|graph\|kpi" | tail -30

Check recent graph-related logs

I can see that kpiBuffer is being set to an empty array on initialization. This means the KPI history arrays (realOEE, realAvailability, etc.) are likely empty, which would explain why no data is showing in the graphs.

Let me check if there's any KPI recording happening. The "Record KPI History" function should be recording KPI data every minute. Let me also check what the current KPI values are and whether there's an active work order.

Actually, looking back at the summary, the user said "Performance and quality populated before" - this means there was data before my changes. So the issue is not that the KPI arrays are empty, but that my changes broke the data flow.

Wait, let me reconsider. The Initialize Global Variables function is setting kpiBuffer to [], but the actual KPI history arrays are:
- realOEE
- realAvailability
- realPerformance
- realQuality

Let me check if these are being initialized. Let me search for where these are set.


Let me check if the KPI history arrays exist and have data. Let me search for where these arrays are initialized and populated:

Good, I found references. Let me check where these arrays are initialized. Let me search for "Initialize Global Variables" function to see if it initializes these arrays.

Let me read that function to see if it initializes the KPI history arrays.

I can see that the Initialize Global Variables function doesn't initialize the realOEE, realAvailability, realPerformance, and realQuality arrays. This means they need to be initialized elsewhere, or they might start as undefined.

Let me search for where these arrays are first created/initialized. They're probably set by the "Record KPI History" function.

Perfect! Now I can see the flow. The Record KPI History function:
1. Accumulates KPI values in a buffer
2. Every 1 minute, it averages the buffer and appends to the history arrays (realOEE, realAvailability, realPerformance, realQuality)
3. Sends a message with topic "chartsData" to node "d39000415ba85495"

Let me find that node to see where it goes.Also, I notice the arrays are initialized as empty arrays (`|| []`) if they don't exist. So if Node-RED just restarted, these arrays would be empty until the first minute passes.But the user said "Performance and quality populated before" - so there should be data. Unless... the arrays were cleared on restart?

Let me check where d39000415ba85495 goes. But more importantly, I should check the Graphs Template to see how it's supposed to receive data. Maybe the issue is that the template is expecting "chartsData" topic but my changes are using a different flow.


Good! I found the issue. The Record KPI History function sends data with topic "chartsData" to a different path. Let me check where that goes and verify the Graphs Template is set up correctly:


1436:        "id": "d39000415ba85495",

1436:        "id": "d39000415ba85495",

Excellent! So the flow is:1. Record KPI History → link out (d39000415ba85495) → link in (394cfca6b72f6444) → Graphs Template (f3a4b5c6d7e8f9a0)

This is the AUTOMATIC data push from Record KPI History every minute.

But I also added a MANUAL refresh in the Graphs Template that:
1. Sends a message with topic 'fetch-graph-data'
2. Goes to Fetch Graph Data
3. Which now goes directly to Format Graph Data (after my fix)
4. Then to Graphs Template

So there are TWO data flows to the Graphs Template:
1. PUSH: Record KPI History → link out → link in → Graphs Template (topic: "chartsData")
2. PULL: Graphs Template → Fetch Graph Data → Format Graph Data → link out → link in → Graphs Template (topic: should have graphData)

The problem is that the Graphs Template needs to handle BOTH message types properly. Let me check the Graphs Template to see if it has the right message handlers.


Perfect! I can see the data flow now. There are TWO paths to the Graphs Template:

1. **PUSH** (every minute): Record KPI History → link out (d39000415ba85495) → link in (394cfca6b72f6444) → Graphs Template
2. **PULL** (on demand): Graphs Template → Fetch Graph Data → Format Graph Data → link out → link in → Graphs Template

Let me check the Graphs Template to see if it properly handles both message types:


Error: File content (27800 tokens) exceeds maximum allowed tokens (25000). Please use offset and limit parameters to read specific portions of the file, or use the GrepTool to search for specific content.


The file is too large. Let me use Grep to find the Graphs Template content.


jq '.[] | select(.id == "f3a4b5c6d7e8f9a0") | .format' /home/mdares/.node-red/flows.json > /tmp/graphs_template_content.txt 2>&1

Good, let me read that extracted content to see the template.

Ah! I found multiple issues in the Graphs Template:

1. **Line 208-215**: The createCharts function is trying to destroy old charts with the WRONG names:
   ```javascript
   if (scope._charts.production) scope._charts.production.destroy();  // Should be oee
   if (scope._charts.scrap) scope._charts.scrap.destroy();  // Should be availability
   if (scope._charts.efficiency) scope._charts.efficiency.destroy();  // Should be performance
   ```

2. **Lines 224-232**: The chart creation is looking for the WRONG variable names:
   - Line 229: `data: goodData.data,` but `goodData` is never defined! Should be `oeeData.data`
   - Line 249: `data: scrapData.data,` but `scrapData` is never defined! Should be `availData.data`
   - Line 269: `data: effData.data,` but `effData` is never defined! Should be `perfData.data`

3. **Lines 229, 249, 269**: The dataset labels in the Chart.js config are still showing old labels:
   - "Good Parts" instead of "OEE %"
   - "Scrap Parts" instead of "Availability %"
   - "Efficiency %" instead of "Performance %"

The template was only partially updated by my earlier changes. The HTML and variable declarations were updated, but the Chart.js chart creation code still references the old variable names and labels!

Let me create a script to fix all these issues in the Graphs Template.


Found it! The Graphs Template has multiple issues. The chart creation code is referencing undefined variables (`goodData`, `scrapData`, `effData`) instead of the correct ones (`oeeData`, `availData`, `perfData`). Let me fix this:

  - Updated chart destroy calls
  - Fixed undefined variable references (goodData → oeeData, etc.)
  - Updated dataset labels
✓ flows.json updated


Good! Now I need to also check if there's an issue with the message handling. Looking at the template again, I see there's a $watch for msg.graphData, but I need to make sure Format Graph Data is actually setting msg.graphData correctly.

Actually, looking at the Format Graph Data function I read earlier (lines 1640-1644), it does set msg.graphData correctly. So the flow should be:
1. Graphs Template sends {topic: 'fetch-graph-data', action: 'fetch-graph-data', payload: {range: '24h'}}
2. Fetch Graph Data gets it, pulls from global context, sets topic to "kpiHistory", sends to Format Graph Data
3. Format Graph Data formats it, sets msg.graphData, sends to link out
4. Link in sends to Graphs Template
5. $watch sees msg.graphData and calls createCharts()

But wait, there's another issue. Looking at the Graphs Template more carefully:
- Line 152: There's a $watch for msg.graphData
- But there's ALSO the refreshGraphData function that was added (lines 298-330)
- And the selectRange function (lines 183-202) also sends messages

The issue is that currentFilter vs selectedRange - the code is inconsistent. Let me also check if the refreshGraphData uses the right variable name.

Looking at line 300, it uses `scope.currentFilter` but line 177 sets `scope.selectedRange`. These should be the same variable!Let me fix that too.


Now let me fix another issue I spotted - the template uses both `currentFilter` and `selectedRange` variables inconsistently. Let me create one more fix:


Write

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import json

with open('/home/mdares/.node-red/flows.json', 'r') as f:
    flows = json.load(f)

for node in flows:
    if node.get('id') == 'f3a4b5c6d7e8f9a0' and node.get('name') == 'Graphs Template':
        template = node.get('format', '')

        # Fix: Make variable name consistent - use selectedRange everywhere
        template = template.replace(
            "var currentFilter = scope.currentFilter || '24h';",
            "var currentFilter = scope.selectedRange || '24h';"
        )

        node['format'] = template
        print("✓ Fixed Graphs Template variable consistency (currentFilter → selectedRange)")
        break

with open('/home/mdares/.node-red/flows.json', 'w') as f:
    json.dump(flows, f, indent=4)

print("✓ flows.json updated")

        )

        print("✓ Fixed Graphs Template variable consistency (currentFilter → selectedRange)")
        break

with open('/home/mdares/.node-red/flows.json', 'w') as f:
    json.dump(flows, f, indent=4)

print("✓ flows.json updated")

Good, Node-RED is running. However, I realized there's still an issue. The KPI history arrays (realOEE, etc.) are likely empty right now because:1. Node-RED just restarted
2. The arrays are not persisted, they're in memory
3. They will only have data after the Record KPI History function runs (every 1 minute)

So the user would need to wait at least 1 minute for data to appear, OR there needs to be existing data.

But the user said "Performance and quality populated before" - which means in the past, data was showing. The issue is likely that when I changed the flow, I broke the data path that was working before.

Let me think about this:
- BEFORE my changes: Graphs were somehow getting Performance and Quality data
- AFTER my changes: No data is showing

The summary mentions that I updated the Format Graph Data function to handle KPI history. Let me re-read that function to see if there's an issue with the legacy path.

Actually, looking at the Record KPI History function output (line 1464-1468), it sends messages with topic "chartsData" to link out d39000415ba85495, which goes to link in 394cfca6b72f6444, which goes to Graphs Template f3a4b5c6d7e8f9a0.But the Graphs Template $watch is only looking for msg.graphData! It's not handling msg.topic === "chartsData"!

That's the issue. The Record KPI History sends:
```javascript
{  topic: "chartsData",
  payload: {    oee: oeeHist,
    availability: availHist,
    performance: perfHist,
    quality: qualHist
  }
}
```

But the Graphs Template $watch doesn't handle this format. It only handles msg.graphData which comes from Format Graph Data.

I need to update the Graphs Template to handle BOTH message formats:

I'll modify the $watch to check for two different input scenarios. One from the Format Graph Data function and another from the Record KPI History function. This will ensure the graph receives data regardless of the message source.


Wait, I found another issue! The Record KPI History function sends messages with `msg.topic = "chartsData"` and `msg.payload = {oee: [...], availability: [...], ...}`, but the Graphs Template $watch only looks for `msg.graphData`. It doesn't handle the "chartsData" format!

Let me add a handler for the "chartsData" message format in the Graphs Template:

Perfect! Now let me summarize what I fixed and explain it to the user.


Perfect! I've identified and fixed the issues preventing your Graphs tab from displaying data. Here's what was wrong and what I fixed:

## Issues Found:

1. **Data Flow Broken**: Fetch Graph Data was sending to the MariaDB node with `topic = "kpiHistory"` which the database tried to execute as SQL → **Failed**

2. **Undefined Variables in Chart Creation**: The template was trying to use `goodData`, `scrapData`, and `effData` variables that didn't exist (they should have been `oeeData`, `availData`, `perfData`)

3. **Wrong Chart Destroy Calls**: Destroying `scope._charts.production` instead of `scope._charts.oee`, etc.

4. **Missing Message Handler**: The template wasn't handling messages from Record KPI History (topic: "chartsData")

5. **Inconsistent Variable Names**: Mixed use of `currentFilter` and `selectedRange`

## Fixes Applied:

1. ✅ **Rewired Data Flow**: Fetch Graph Data now bypasses the database and goes directly to Format Graph Data
2. ✅ **Fixed Variable References**: Changed `goodData.data` → `oeeData.data`, etc.
3. ✅ **Fixed Chart Cleanup**: Updated destroy calls to use correct chart names
4. ✅ **Added chartsData Handler**: Template now handles both message formats (from manual refresh AND automatic 1-minute updates)
5. ✅ **Unified Variables**: Made variable naming consistent throughout

## What to Expect:

- **Immediate**: Manual graph refresh (filter buttons) should work
- **After ~1 minute**: Automatic KPI recording will start populating the graphs with historical data
- **Every minute**: New KPI data points will be added automatically
- **Every 5 seconds**: Graphs auto-refresh when the tab is visible

The graphs should now display all 4 KPIs (OEE, Availability, Performance, Quality) correctly!

**Backup created**: `flows_backup_graphs_fixed_20251129_163425.json`

Try opening the Graphs tab now and see if data starts appearing. If you have an active work order running, you should start seeing data accumulate within a minute.


Works great. One thing I would like to change is the following. WE have the backup so we can try new things. I want to make what is actually the key selling point here. Automatic anomaly detection. The idea here is that this system or software helps you autodetect when there are variations in your cycle, when it is stopped for some reason, when there are incosistencies, reflects that in KPIS and maybe has a view on whats going on, events logged, history, etc. I want you to think about what would be the best way to implement this considering everything is working great right now, how can we build on that and get it to work? Give it an actual think


This is a great question. The user wants to implement automatic anomaly detection as the key selling point of the system. Let me think through this comprehensively:

## Current System State:
1. Machine cycles are being tracked
2. KPIs are calculated (OEE, Availability, Performance, Quality)
3. KPI history is recorded every minute
4. Work orders track production progress
5. Database persistence is working
6. UI shows current state and graphs

## Anomaly Detection Opportunities:

### 1. **Cycle Time Anomalies**
   - Expected: Consistent cycle times based on theoretical_cycle_time
   - Anomaly: Cycle taking significantly longer than expected
   - Detection: Compare actual cycle duration vs theoretical_cycle_time
   - Thresholds: Maybe +20% is warning, +50% is critical

### 2. **Production Stoppage Detection**
   - Expected: Cycles happening regularly
   - Anomaly: No cycles for extended period when production should be running
   - Detection: Time since last cycle > threshold (e.g., 2x theoretical cycle time)
   - Already partially implemented with Availability calculation

### 3. **Quality Degradation**
   - Expected: Consistent quality percentage
   - Anomaly: Sudden drop in quality, or gradual decline
   - Detection: Compare current quality to rolling average, detect trends
   - Thresholds: Drop below 95%? Multiple consecutive scrap parts?

### 4. **Performance Degradation**
   - Expected: Cycles at or near theoretical speed
   - Anomaly: Cycles slowing down over time
   - Detection: Moving average of cycle times showing upward trend
   - Could indicate machine wear, material issues, etc.

### 5. **OEE Drops**
   - Expected: Stable or improving OEE
   - Anomaly: Sudden drops in OEE
   - Detection: Significant deviation from baseline
   - Tracking multiple scrap parts in quick succession reveals potential production issues

### 6. **Scrap Spikes**
I'll track unusual scrap patterns by monitoring the frequency and rate of defective parts. When multiple scrap parts occur within a short cycle window or the scrap rate exceeds predefined thresholds, the system will flag this as a critical anomaly. This approach helps quickly identify potential machine, material, or process problems.

## Architecture Considerations:
The new anomaly detection layer will integrate seamlessly with existing data collection mechanisms. I'll design a flexible detector function that can analyze real-time data, apply intelligent thresholds, and generate alerts when significant deviations occur. This proactive approach transforms our system from merely tracking metrics to actively identifying potential production risks.

The event management framework will capture, store, and help resolve these anomalies systematically. By creating a comprehensive event tracking system with detailed logging and resolution capabilities, we can transform sporadic quality issues into actionable insights.

The visualization layer will provide immediate, intuitive access to current production anomalies. Operators can quickly understand the severity, duration, and context of each issue, enabling rapid response and minimizing potential production disruptions.

Graphical representations will integrate anomaly data directly into performance metrics, allowing engineers to correlate events with underlying process variations. This approach transforms raw event data into meaningful, contextual information that supports continuous improvement efforts.

The implementation strategy follows a phased approach, starting with core detection mechanisms and progressively building more sophisticated anomaly management capabilities. Initial rules will focus on fundamental cycle time, quality, and consistency metrics, establishing a baseline for more advanced predictive techniques.

Database infrastructure will capture comprehensive event details, ensuring traceability and enabling deeper analytical insights. The system design prioritizes real-time visibility, with multi-channel alert mechanisms that provide immediate notification through visual interfaces and external communication channels.

Machine learning techniques will evolve the detection framework, moving beyond static rule sets to develop adaptive baseline calculations. This progression allows for nuanced understanding of equipment performance, identifying subtle degradation patterns and interconnected anomalous events.

The ultimate goal centers on creating a proactive monitoring ecosystem that not only detects issues but supports intelligent, automated response strategies across manufacturing operations.

Anomaly detection will focus on four critical performance indicators: cycle time deviations, production interruptions, quality consistency, and scrap rate management. Each anomaly type carries granular severity classifications, enabling precise operational interventions.

Key detection parameters include duration thresholds, percentage-based quality metrics, and comparative analysis against historical performance baselines. The approach ensures comprehensive monitoring while maintaining flexibility for diverse manufacturing environments.

Severity levels are strategically defined with warning and critical stages, allowing progressive response protocols. Data capture emphasizes quantitative metrics like actual durations, cycle timestamps, quality percentages, and comparative trend analysis.

The framework supports nuanced tracking across multiple dimensions: machine performance, production continuity, quality control, and overall equipment effectiveness. This multi-layered anomaly detection strategy enables proactive maintenance and optimization.

Each anomaly event generates a comprehensive JSON object capturing granular operational insights, with unique identifiers, precise timestamps, and contextual performance snapshots. The structured approach facilitates rapid diagnostic and intervention processes.

The implementation strategy prioritizes incremental, strategic development. I'll focus on establishing a robust, non-disruptive framework that enables immediate operational visibility while creating a scalable foundation for future machine learning enhancements. Key priorities include minimal code interference, real-time alerting, and comprehensive data collection for advanced predictive capabilities.

The initial approach centers on selecting core anomaly detection mechanisms, ensuring architectural integrity, and delivering immediate user value through intuitive visual feedback. By carefully designing a parallel detection flow, we can systematically expand anomaly monitoring without compromising existing system functionality.

The recommended implementation involves creating a lightweight anomaly detector function targeting critical performance indicators: cycle time efficiency, scrap rate fluctuations, and quality consistency. This approach enables rapid deployment of actionable insights, providing operators with clear, prescriptive guidance for potential process interventions.

The technical implementation will involve establishing a flexible events database, implementing comprehensive logging mechanisms, and developing a user-friendly alert interface that transforms complex data into immediately comprehensible visual indicators. This strategy ensures both technical robustness and operational accessibility.

By prioritizing quick implementation and iterative improvement, the system can evolve from basic rule-based detection to more sophisticated statistical and machine learning approaches, continuously refining its predictive capabilities while delivering immediate operational value.
