KitProof for operators

How operators use KitProof at a station: choosing the station, finding a kit, scanning parts and serial numbers, handling rejected parts and alternatives, undoing a scan, pausing, and completing the kit.

For operators

This guide is for operators. It shows how to check a kit at your station in KitProof, from finding the kit to completing it, and what to do when a scan is rejected.

I'm Sam. I'll do the scanning.

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.

Your station

  1. Open Check kits

    Select Check kits in the menu.

    Every kit check starts on the Check kits screen.

    I'll open Check kits from the menu.

    Every kit check starts on the Check kits screen. Select Check kits in the menu.

  2. Choose your station

    Choose the station you are working at.

    The first time you use KitProof on a computer, it asks which station you're at. Every scan is recorded against it.

    I'm at the sample station, so I'll choose that.

    The first time you open it on this computer, KitProof asks which station you are at. Choose your station. Every scan is recorded against it.

Find the kit

  1. Look up a job

    Type the job reference and press Enter.

    To open a kit, scan the kit reference on its paperwork, or type the exact job reference.

    I'll type the job reference, WO-1001, and press Enter.

    It has two kits.

    To find a kit, scan the kit reference on its paperwork. If you don't have one, type the exact job reference and press Enter. Job WO-1001 has two kits.

  2. Choose the kit in front of you

    Choose the kit in front of you.

    Kit 1 is the one in front of me.

    When a job has more than one kit, choose the one in front of you.

Start and scan

  1. Start the kit

    Select Start this kit.

    KitProof lists everything the kit needs.

    I'll start the kit.

    Sam's station now holds the kit, so nobody else can scan into it.

    KitProof lists everything this kit needs. Select Start this kit. Your station now holds the kit, so nobody else can scan into it.

  2. Scan a part that needs a serial number

    Scan the 24 V controller.

    First, the 24 V controller.

    The controller needs a serial number, so it doesn't count until one is scanned.

    Scan each part as you place it in the kit. The controller needs a serial number, so KitProof asks for it before the controller counts.

  3. Scan the serial number

    Scan the serial number label.

    So I'll scan its serial label.

    There. The controller's done.

    Scan the serial number label. The controller is now accepted and shows as done.

Wrong parts and alternatives

  1. Scan the wrong part

    A wrong part is rejected and not counted.

    This controller looks right, so I'll scan it.

    It's rejected it. What now?

    That's the 48 V controller. It isn't part of this kit, so nothing was counted. Put it back and scan the right part.

    Suppose you pick up the 48 V controller by mistake. KitProof rejects it straight away and nothing is counted. Put it back and scan the right part.

  2. Offer an alternative part

    An alternative that needs approval is not counted yet.

    The usual rail kit's run out, so I'll try the alternative.

    This alternative needs a supervisor's approval. KitProof sends them a request, and doesn't count it until they decide.

    Some parts have an approved alternative. This alternative rail kit needs a supervisor's approval, so KitProof sends them a request and does not count it. Carry on with other parts, or use the standard rail kit.

  3. Scan the rail mount kit

    Scan the rail mount kit.

    I've found a standard rail kit after all.

    That one counts straight away.

    Next, the rail mount kit. The tick means KitProof accepted it.

Undo a scan

  1. Scan the EU guide

    Scan the EU guide.

    Next, the EU guide.

    Then the EU guide.

  2. Reverse your last scan

    Reverse your last scan and give a reason.

    Hang on, this guide's torn.

    If a part you've scanned can't go in the kit, reverse your last scan and give a reason. It stops counting, but the history keeps it.

    I'll reverse my last scan and say why.

    If a part you scanned can't go in the kit, perhaps because it is damaged, select Reverse my last scan and give a reason. The scan no longer counts, but the history keeps it.

  3. Put the focus back on the scan box

    Select the warning to resume scanning.

    Selecting a button, or clicking anywhere else, takes focus away from the scan box. KitProof warns you, because scans won't be received.

    I'll select the warning to put the focus back.

    Selecting a button or clicking elsewhere takes focus away from the scan box. Select the warning to put the focus back, and scans are received again.

  4. Scan the EU guide

    Scan the EU guide.

    And now a replacement guide.

    Then the EU guide.

Pause and come back

  1. Pause the kit

    Select Pause to stop for now.

    To stop without reporting a problem, pause the kit. Its progress is kept.

    Time for a break, so I'll pause.

    To stop work on a kit without reporting a problem, select Pause. Its progress is kept and your station releases it.

  2. Open a kit from Ready work

    Open the kit from Ready work.

    Paused kits are listed first in Ready work.

    When I'm back, I'll open it from there.

    You can also open a kit from the Ready work list. Kits you paused are listed first.

  3. Take a paused kit

    Select Take this kit at this station.

    And take it at my station.

    Everything I scanned is still here.

    To carry on, open the kit and select Take this kit at this station. Everything already accepted is still there.

Finish the kit

  1. Scan a part needed more than once

    Scan both spare fuses.

    This kit needs two spare fuses. The Remaining column counts down as each one is scanned.

    One fuse, and two.

    This kit needs two spare fuses. Scan each one. The Remaining column counts down as you go.

  2. Scan one part too many

    An extra part is refused once its line is complete.

    What if I scan a third?

    KitProof says it's not needed, so a kit never gets one too many.

    If you scan a part the kit already has enough of, KitProof says it is not needed, so the kit never gets one too many.

  3. Complete the kit

    Select Complete kit.

    When nothing's outstanding, Complete kit becomes available.

    I'll complete the kit.

    KitProof saves a completion record of what was checked. It isn't a shipping status.

    When nothing is outstanding, Complete kit becomes available. Select it. KitProof saves a completion record for the kit. It records what was checked. It is not a shipping status.
