Handle an unknown unit

Stop when the scanned unit cannot be found, without creating an inspection.

For operators

Operator access is required. The prepared fictional site contains DEMO-00017, not UNKNOWN-00999.

Read these instructions on any device. Watch or practise a chapter on a desktop or laptop, with a desktop or mobile application layout. Demonstrations use sample data and simulated scanners.

Handle an unknown unit

  1. Open the inspection station

    Open the inspection station.

    You are signed in as Sam, with operator access only. The fictional site has a separately approved bracket inspection plan.

  2. Choose your physical station

    Choose your physical station.

    Choose Inspection bench 1, where you are doing the work.

  3. Take control of the station

    Take control of the station.

    Acquire the named station before starting an inspection. This does not start a unit.

  4. Focus the unit scanner field

    Focus the unit scanner field.

    Scan the unit in front of you. This demonstration enters a fictional barcode through the same keyboard scanner field.

  5. Scan an unregistered unit

    Scan an unregistered unit.

    Check the code and ask a supervisor to review the approved source data. An unknown scan never invents a unit.

Watch or practise this chapter

Keep the physical unit identified and ask for the source record to be checked. Do not substitute another unit code.
