MANUAL PROCESSING
To allow for manual
processing, ScanData deploys its Manual Induction application (available
as either a robust desktop application or a pared-down browser
application), which allows shippable units to be manually introduced
into the shipping process. With this application, operators manually
verify the weight and/ or cube and, if necessary, adjust to account for
discrepancies. Manual Induction also allows shippers to assign or
re-assign carrier/ ship methods to packages and verify the carton
information. When used in conjunction with Automated Induction and a
conveyor system, Manual Induction may be used for exceptions and jackpot
processes.
MANUAL
INDUCTION
Because every
installation requires slightly different operational processes,
ScanData’s Manual Induction can be configured to support multiple
processing modes. These modes include one-step and two-step processing.
During one-step processing, cartons are opened, fully processed, and
closed without any operator intervention. During two step processing,
cartons are opened and then verified and closed by the operator.
ScanData’s Manual
Induction supports hundreds of mode configuration settings including:
 |
Scale attachment for
weight input |
|
|
|
Print label on carton
close vs. on demand |
|
|
|
Validate City, State,
Zip |

COMMON
CONFIGURATIONS
|
Exception Processing - Allows
operators to process cartons that have not been successfully
processed through the regular manner by updating carton
attributes. |
Manual Sortation - Allows
operators to assign a queue of open pallets to the processing
station and have the application direct manual sortation upon
carton processing. |
|
Non-Conveyable Processing -
Allows operators to process cartons that are not able to be
processed by automated means and that may not be able to be
placed on a regular scale. |
Ad-Hoc - Allows operators to
create cartons for the shipping in the system without requiring
host-provided package level detail (PLD). |
