  • For in-repair pieces, you can either send them back for repair or split the batch.


Splitting Batches

  • Make sure that the station has the permission to split batches. Note: if the station doesn't have the permission to split the batch, you will not be able to split the batch.
  • Click Split Batches to separate defective pieces from the rest.
  • Assign a new RFID tag to the new batch and update the printed tag information manually.


Splitting batches is an important feature that we developed just for you! Splitting batches helps you split any batch into 2 or more batches so you be able to finish and close the batches that were inspected so it won't render the production performance. If there is a second grade pieces or pieces that needs repair, it is recommended to split them from the original batch to be able to differentiate it and also to be able to close the inspected and finished batch.

Post-Repair Inspection

  • Use the tick icon to mark all pieces as repaired or select specific repairs if needed.
  • If pieces are marked as second grade after repair, use the cancel icon to decide whether to send them back for further repair or classify them as another quality grade.


Note: After Finishing  the repair process, the Quality inspector has to re-inspect the batch just to make sure that it's repaired.
