Production operators can add scrap quantity with a reason to Shift View timeline using a barcode reader. This can be useful when operators need to insert scrap information quite often, for example.

Pre-requisites:

• Scanner connected to a PC
• Barcodes
  • Syntax for the barcode is 6#scrapQty#scrapReasonId#extraNote#
  • For example in case for adding scrap of 5 pieces with a scrap reason that has the ID 17 but no extra note, it would be 6#5#17##

How to get barcodes for marking scrap quantity and reason?

Barcode format

The format of the barcodes is: ****6#scrapQty#scrapReasonId#extraNote#

• The “6” indicates that the operation done with the barcode is adding a scrap quantity along with a scrap reason and extra notes if defined.
• “scrapQty” is the quantity of how many units scrap is marked
• “scrapReasonId” is the numerical ID of the scrap reason
  • The ID can be found from the URL in Settings for each reason, for example:
    • *https://app.evocon.com/#/settings/scrapreasons/**19**/edit?search&factoryId[]=[]&stationId[]=[]&groupId[]=[]*
• “extraNote” is the value that is added to the extra note field.
  • Can be left empty (see the example above).

Generating the barcodes

To generate the barcodes, Evocon’s barcode creator (here) or a free online generator can be used - for example **this one.**

How does adding scrap quantity and reason using a barcode reader work?

It works similarly to the process when user adds scrap from the overview in Shift View footer. It adds the defined scrap quantity to the current batch with the defined reason and (if defined) the extra note.

Edge cases:

1. If there is no production in current batch (last batch of the shift),
2. If the scrap quantity is bigger than the quantity of the batch, it results in an error.
3. If there is no scrap reason with the defined ID, it results in an error.
