DS65005644.3 PACKTRACK™PackTrack™ is a patented operating mode for Datalogic Omni-Directional Reading Stationsused to read and correctly assign codes read on different packs when placed in the scannerReading Area at the same time.Working in PackTrack™ mode requires the presence of an encoder and a presence sensorto track the moving packs.All PackTrack™ functionalities are programmed via the GENIUS™ tool (refer to theGENIUS™ Help On-Line for details).In fact, in the following example, the codes of two or more consecutive packs are found atthe same time in the scanner reading area. Therefore, the condition occurs where, in thesequence of the two packs, the code of the seconds pack is read first, just before the code ofthe previous pack. A system without PackTrack™ would assign the code of the second packto first pack and vice versa, thus causing a gross error in sortation.Figure 84 – PackTrack™ System LayoutFor a correct functioning, the PackTrack™ operating mode requires a calibration just afterthe installation of the scanners. This operation is absolutely necessary to make the scannerrecognize its position in space. Thus, a fixed reference system is required.
