How does it work

You have a Factbird barcode scanner installed on your production line.

Then barcode scanner sends the 13 digit barcode of the product running on line, to the Factbird application/cloud. This product barcode is the main identifier for the product. If this product does not already exist in the Factbird application, it creates a new product and fills the name attribute for a product with a received barcode, and it also sets PRODUCT_BARCODE attribute under Product Parameters, on the manage products page. You can always change the name of the product from the Factbird application, under the manage product page, whenever you want. Once the product is created and found in the system, it goes to the next step. Here it stops the previously running batch and starts a new batch for the current product.

How to Configure

To automatically start/stop batches, we need some prerequisite configurations and for that, we need the following information from our customers to make it work.

1- Line Id on which the barcode scanner is being installed. 2- Peripheral Id (device ID), to which the barcode scanner is connected.

Changes you may want to do.

Double click on the screenshots below to see how to change the product name from product barcode to some proper name.

This is what the batch looks like once it starts automatically.
