Operators using the Shop Floor Control (SFC) App can quickly and accurately track the actual quantity of ingredients used in production by scanning barcodes with their mobile device’s camera. This eliminates the need for manual selection and reduces input errors.
How it works
During task completion, the app prompts the operator to report the ingredients consumed for a manufacturing order (MO).
Steps:
Tap Finish to complete a task in the Shop Floor App.
In the popup ingredient checklist, tap Scan next to an ingredient field.
Use your device’s camera to scan the ingredient barcode.
The system matches the barcode to the correct ingredient and selects it automatically.
Barcode label requirements
If your items don’t already have barcode labels:
You’ll need to generate and print barcode labels in advance.
The barcode must match the item code used in Katana.
Tracking batch numbers with barcodes
If the ingredient is batch trackable, the operator can also:
Scan the batch barcode to assign a batch number when reporting the ingredient consumption.
This ensures batch-level traceability without manual entry.
