Assembly
Manual
Assembly can be done using manual assembly (hanging Tickets on the rail and reading the tag number attached to the garment and assembling the item to the ticket number
CASort
You can also use the CASort method which allows you to scan the garment tag/label and the system will assign a SLOT number to the 1st piece of each order. The subsequent pieces of the same order will be instructed to hang the piece in the slot that the 1st piece has been allocated until the order is assembled. There is an option in CASort setup to allow the CASort to Auto Split at eg. 5 pieces. This will fill the slot until it has 5 pieces and then the rest of the order will be allocated another slot.
We also have a variation to CASort which can spin a conveyor to the slot that the system has allocated. Eg. Scan the tag and it says 15 and the conveyor proceeds to spin to slot 15 – you then hang the order. You can also use a storage conveyor to also be used for CASort to reduce rail space for a sorting area.
If the system instructs you to hang the garment at Slot 15 – you can override it (for large items) and change the slot to slot 50 (this is useful if the order has large items and you want them away from the normal items being sorted
The system will show you the slot number when you scan the Tag and on the right it will show you the orders you have started and the status of the order. eg. 3/4 pieces – you can right click on the order to split it. What this means is you want to complete the order of 3 pieces and create a new order for the last 1 piece. This allows you to bag and put away or pickup the 3 pieces.
Metalprogetti Auto Assembly
When you click on Assembly the system will let you know that you are using Metalprogetti
The system will display the orders that are on the conveyor and how many pieces are on the conveyor and which slots those pieces are on.
You can right click on an order and Split it off and this will unload and bag the pieces that are on the conveyor for that order.
You can also click on the top right corner where the 9 dots are (3 rows of 3 dots) and Split all orders. This will unload and bag all of the orders on the conveyor and create a new suborder for the pieces that have not made it to the conveyor.
