Record, scan and find a suitable length
Record exact measurements, respect uncertainty and allowances, then look up piece and bin labels locally.
For operators
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.
Record, scan and find a suitable length
- Import a prepared rack
Import a prepared rack.
This synthetic backup enters the ordinary strict restore path. It has aluminium and steel pieces, including damaged and unchecked ones.
- Open the recording step
Open the recording step.
Each record represents one physical piece. Measure it and check its condition before attaching a label.
- Try an invalid grouped number
Try an invalid grouped number.
Lengths are exact values. A comma is refused rather than silently interpreted.
- Check the length refusal
Check the length refusal.
The refused record leaves the rack unchanged.
- Enter an exact measured length
Enter an exact measured length.
1250.125 mm is retained exactly, with three decimal places.
- Try uncertainty below the rack minimum
Try uncertainty below the rack minimum.
This rack requires at least 2 mm. A smaller value is not accepted.
- Read the measuring-practice refusal
Read the measuring-practice refusal.
A reason cannot override a positive minimum uncertainty.
- Use the rack measuring practice
Use the rack measuring practice.
The guaranteed length will be 1250.125 minus 2, which is 1248.125 mm.
- Record the measured offcut
Record the measured offcut.
The app creates its own new identifier and appends history. Downloading a label does not prove it was printed or attached.
- Find a suitable length
Find a suitable length.
A search changes no stock and reserves nothing.
- Ask for two blanks
Ask for two blanks.
Each blank needs its own blade-width allowance.
- Set the finished length
Set the finished length.
Use 600 mm for each blank.
- Read the cut allowances
Read the cut allowances.
Required length is N × (finished + extra) + N × blade width + trim + buffer. This rack uses 0, 3, 10 and 0 mm respectively.
- Run the search
Run the search.
Two 600 mm blanks need 1216 mm with these reviewed defaults. A 1248 mm guaranteed piece leaves 32 mm spare. Damaged and unchecked pieces are excluded.
- Scan a piece label
Scan a piece label.
A keyboard scanner or typed full OBP1 code looks up only this loaded rack. This is a synthetic value, not a live scanner check.
- Scan a bin card
Scan a bin card.
OBL1 selects a bin and filters the local rack list. It does not verify physical put-away.
- Try an unknown label
Try an unknown label.
A label from another rack has no cloud lookup. This message does not establish whether the physical piece exists.
- Ask for a length that is not listed
Ask for a length that is not listed.
A no-match result describes this rack list, not fresh physical stock.
- Read the no-match result
Read the no-match result.
Check the list and physical rack before deciding to cut new stock.
