Overview

After setting up workstations and defining packing rules, the next step is enabling packers to execute packing directly from their tablets.

The Packer Tablet allows packers to view their assigned orders, follow the correct packing rules (assortments), and record packing progress in real time — ensuring accuracy, accountability, and visibility across the factory floor.

Step 1: Accessing the Workstation on Tablet

Each packer is assigned to a workstation.
When a packer logs in to the system from their tablet, they will land on the Workstation Home Page.

At the top of this page, they will find the Packing Action button.
This design allows the workstation to support multiple actions (like quality checks or merging batches) in the future — and later, packers will also be able to log idle time or start/stop working directly from this screen.

To start packing, the user simply clicks Packing.

Step 2: Viewing Orders Ready for Packing

After selecting Packing, the packer will see a list of production orders that are ready for packing.

An order appears here only when:

• It has packing rules (assortments) already defined.

• There are pieces that have completed all mandatory production processes.

The page shows the following summaries:

• Total Orders

• In-Progress Orders – Orders that already have boxes being packed

• Nearly Completed Orders – Orders where packing progress exceeds 90%

• Urgent Orders – Orders with newly finished pieces ready to be packed now

Each order card displays:

• Order number, Style code, and Style name

• Number of (assortments) inside

• Pieces packed vs required

• Box status summary

The packer can click Continue Packing to open any ongoing order.

Step 3: Order Details and Assortment Overview

Once inside an order, the packer will see:

• A summary bar at the top showing pieces and boxes packed vs total.

• A carousel displaying all (assortments) within the order.

Each card displays:

• The prefix code of the assortment

• Number of boxes filled, partially filled, and empty

• A progress bar showing completion status

To view detailed boxes, the packer can click Show X Boxes.

Step 4: Managing Boxes

Inside the box view, packers can:

• Search for a specific box

• View all boxes categorized as:

  • Filled (ممتلئ)

  • Partially Closed (مغلق جزئيًا)

  • Partially Open (مفتوح جزئيًا)

  • Empty (فارغ)

• Multi-select boxes to delete or unfill (which moves pieces back to the “Ready to Pack” pool)

Step 5: Color-Size Matrix and Box Filling

Below the assortment carousel, the color-size matrix shows real-time details for that assortment:

• 🟩 Green – Pieces finished and ready to be packed

• 🔴 Red – Pieces that are ready but cannot fulfill the full box requirement

• ⚫ Bold black – The number of pieces required per box

The header displays the current box number, and the footer shows how many boxes can be filled now.

If enough pieces are available to fill a box completely, the “Fill Box” button appears in green.
Clicking it will mark that box as filled and automatically move to the next box number.

If not enough pieces are available for a full box, the packer can click “Add to Partially” to fill part of the box.

When using “Add to Partially,” the matrix shows:

• Black numbers for pieces being added now

• Red numbers for pieces still missing
  

• 
  

After confirming, the packer clicks “Add to Partially” to save progress.

Step 6: Managing Partial Boxes

Below the packing matrix, partial boxes are grouped into two categories:

1. Can Be Completed – Partial boxes that now have enough remaining pieces to be completed.

   • Packers can Finalize Packing (add missing pieces) or Close the box as is.
     

   • 
     
     

2. Still Missing Pieces – Partial boxes missing pieces that are not yet available.

   • Packers can keep adding pieces gradually until filled or close the box early if needed.
     

   • 
     

Users with the “Add Empty Box” permission will also see a button to manually add empty boxes when required.
This option is restricted to specific roles only. Cab be managed from the roles page.

Step 7: Handling Undefined Assortments

Defined Assortments

Definition:
A Defined Assortment is a preconfigured packing rule created by the industrial engineer before packing starts.

It specifies exactly how each box should be packed — by color, size, and quantity.
In other words, every box layout is known in advance.

Who defines it:
→ Industrial Engineer (from the Production Order → Packing Rules page)

When it’s used:
→ When the client provides clear, strict packing instructions.

---

Undefined Assortments

Definition:
An Undefined Assortment is a flexible packing rule where the packer defines the color–size mix while packing.

Only the box capacity (number of pieces per box) is known ahead of time — not how those pieces are distributed by color and size.

Who defines it:
→ Packer (on the tablet during actual packing)

When it’s used:
→ When no client-defined packing rule exists, or when the assortment composition varies dynamically based on available finished pieces.

For Undefined assortments, the process differs slightly.
In the assortment carousel, these appear with a “Custom” tag and only show box capacity (number of pieces per box).

The packer must configure the matrix manually by clicking Configure Matrix.

Inside, the packer can:

• Set how many boxes to create

• Expand colors and define the number of pieces per size

• Use long press on + or − buttons to add or subtract in batches (+5, +10, +15, +20)

Once the configuration is set, the packer can create boxes, which converts the assortment from undefined to defined.
This means the packer has defined the color-size matrix instead of the industrial engineer.

Summary

These are all the operations a packer can perform from the Packer Tablet — viewing orders, following packing rules, filling and closing boxes, and managing progress in real time.
