Overview
Cylinders are scanned during filling and their status changes from empty to full. A very basic form of Fill will require simply that an asset be scanned, although more commonly, a basic fill can also ask for a product code to be selected, or the system determines it.
A lot number is commonly collected, but even without one, the system can still find all of the cylinders that were filled together.
This system can become very robust where user permissions to fill the specific gas are checked, the product code is auto-generated, the lot number is auto-generated, lot stickers are printed and various safety checks are performed.
Filling can either be done one cylinder at a time or by scanning an entire pallet at a time. A single operator can have multiple fill operations running at the same time.
Prefill Inspections
There are three types of "Pre Fill Inspections" available through TAM6:
Prefill Inspections (Scanning Assets)
Prefill Inspections (No Assets are Scanned)
Sort Assets and Sort Container - Cylinder are scanned during sorting and those that require maintenance or have other blocks on them are flagged and can be separated.
Variable Volume
Track the fill volume of each asset
