Create box, add scanned panels, print label, close box
Pack panels into a box in the MES portal, print its label and close it so the box can be tracked during shipment.
To pack and ship: create a box in the system, add the scanned panels to it, then print the box label and close the box.
To track panels for packaging, log in to the MES portal and open the track panel packaging section. Select the relevant work order, then create a new box and scan or select the panels to add to it. Panels can be removed from a box before confirming. This records which panels belong to a specific box for shipment.
Scanning is done with the handheld device, but box creation, panel addition and label printing happen on a connected system, which a separate person can operate.
The QR code on the box label is scanned during shipment so boxes can be tracked as they move to the next station.
A packaging list can be generated summarising the contents of each box.
