  The European Spallation Source (ESS), currently under construction and initial commissioning in Lund, Sweden, will be the brightest spallation neutron source in the world, when its driving proton linac achieves the design power of 5 MW at 2 GeV. Such a high power requires production, efficient acceleration, and almost no-loss transport of a high current beam, thus making the design and beam commissioning of this machine challenging. The recent commissioning runs (2021-2023) showed an enhanced need for a consistent and robust way of setting up the machine for beam production. One of the big challenges at ESS beam operations is aligning the machine setup and the timing setup limiting the need for operator actions. In this paper, we show a concept of using EPICS 7 NTTables to enable this machine settings consistency. Along with that, we also highlight a few challenges related to other EPICS tools like Save and Restore and Archiver.
