Filling
Fill Process
TrackAbout provides this feature for clients to track production as it pertains to Filling. "Filling" covers subfeatures such as
Filling Liquids
Fill at Customer
For clients tracking "Use States" in TrackAbout, filling an asset will change its status to Full. (Note that you can rename the Full status to a different name if you prefer something else, such as "Clean").
Standard Fill Screens
- In the first screen this information is collected:
- Item# (Product Code)
- Expiration Date
- Lot Number
Filling with Racks
Racks (typically, manifolds for filling groups of assets at the same time) can be configured in TrackAbout for use during Filling. Racks are configured to relate to
Tanks - determine which Raw Material (Source) tank is associated with each Rack Users - determine which users are allowed to use each rack Product Families - determine which products are allowed to be filled on each rack
Also, each rack needs to be set up with a Maximum Filling Pressure. Fillers need an internal user account set up in TrackAbout before they can be associated with the Filling Racks.
Once you start adding on Filling locations, this list of Racks can get quite long. There is a text filter to help filter through the Rack list.
Palletized Filling
This mode of Filling is available for clients subscribed to TrackAbout's Palletization module. In this mode, cylinders are first sorted to pallets/containers. In this way, groups of cylinders move through production together. Fillers can scan the pallet / container barcode rather than each individual asset barcode during filling and therefore affect the Use State of every asset in the container.
Fill by Product and Quantity
TrackAbout provides limited capabilities to fill Not-Scanned Assets (non barcoded/tagged) by product and quantity.
