Operational Buttons allow the user to start and stop a session, focus the camera(s), switch between the standard and stadium document cameras, and perform the various image captures of a box during a session.

Note: A Stream Deck controller can be configured to execute any of the buttons listed below. Refer to Section 3 Stream Deck Controllers for instructions on configuring and operating the Stream Deck controller.

Section 1.3.1 Start Session

This button allows the end user to start a session. All boxes MUST be captured in a session. The end user will not be able to scan a barcode or capture photos if a session has not been started.

Section 1.3.1.1 Pause Session

This button allows the end user to pause a session. Pause will only appear after a session is started. Pause places the WIB\u2122 Unit in a resting state. The timer will stop but the session remains open. This allows the operator to perform other tasks, take a bio-break, go to lunch, etc. without being "on the clock". Production reports record the amount of time an operator takes to process images and containers within a session. Pausing a session allows for the operator to identify segments of time where production on the unit is suspended for a short time and then resumed without penalizing the operator when calculating the efficiency of their production throughput.

Operations that are allowed while a session is paused:

Section 1.3.1.2 Resume Sessions

If the operator has paused the session, when they are prepared to resume production, they select Resume which takes the WIB\u2122 Unit out of the resting state. The timer will resume and record the processing time or production for the operator.

Section 1.3.2 Stop Session

Stop will only appear after a session is started. This button allows the end user to stop a session. Sessions should ONLY be stopped when a production person steps away from the WIB\u2122 Unit for an extended period. For example, during breaks, lunch, end of a shift, meetings, research sessions, or any other activity that will last for a significant amount of time. When a session is stopped, the user will be prompted to close the session. A session should only be closed when there is a logical reason for closing it.

Section 1.3.2.1 Closing a Session

Reasons for closing a session include but are not limited to the following:

• End of a working shift
• Logical ending of a box set — Please refer to the Statement of Work (SOW) for logical definitions and reasons for closing a session. Some logical definitions include the end of a pallet or a collection.
• Completion of a location — Please refer to the Statement of Work (SOW) for location definitions and reasons for closing a session based on location. Some location definitions include the end of a location within a warehouse or the actual location of the warehouse.

Section 1.3.3 Focus Camera(s)

There are two different types of camera focus buttons. One button focuses all cameras while the other focuses each camera independently. To show the focus button for each camera, refer to Section 4 Camera Settings. During the capture process, the end user may need to focus one or more cameras. The focus button will focus all cameras at once. This button is located on the bottom left-hand side of the program or in the bottom right corner of the standard/stadium camera view (second monitor). The Focus button can be set to Single or Continuous autofocus. Please refer to the Troubleshooting section to set the continuous and single autofocus for the ring light cameras.

Section 1.3.3.1 Single Focus

The Focus Toggle switches between Single (AF-S) and Continuous (AF-C) autofocus. Single or AF-S (AF single, sometimes called single area AF) mode is good for photographing objects at a focal point that does not move. It locks the focus on a fixed depth that you want to photograph.

Section 1.3.3.2 Continuous Focus

AF-C (AF continuous, sometimes called continuous servo) is good when photographing moving objects. When the camera is set to AF-C and focused on a moving subject, the focus will stay on the object and keep re-focusing as the object moves.

Section 1.3.4 Barcode

To use the autogenerated barcode feature or another wireless barcode scanner, select the Barcode button. A dialog with an autogenerated barcode will appear. Select OK to accept the autogenerated value or scan a barcode to replace the value. Select OK to proceed.

Section 1.3.5 Capture 1st Array of Photos

After scanning a barcode, the first array photo button appears at the bottom of the screen. This button takes a photo of the front, left, and top of the box while the lid is on in a single action. The end user must make sure the front of the box is facing the inbound conveyor section before selecting the 1st array photo capture button. The capture program names the images based on the position and order of images captured. To make sure you are capturing the correct photo, make sure the front of the box containing the label information appears in the photo stream window labeled Left.

The first array button is configurable in the administration portal. Contact your project administrator for a custom capture workflow configuration for the 1st array button. The following details the process for the default capture workflow.

Capture 2nd Array of Photos

After capturing the first array of photos, the box should be rotated 180° so the back of the box appears in the photo stream window labeled Left. Remove the lid from the box so the content appears in the photo stream window labeled Top. DO NOT adjust any of the content. The purpose of this photo is to show how the box was organized before any handling of the content. After the box is in position and the lid has been removed, select the 2nd array capture button.

The second array button is configurable in the administration portal. Contact your project administrator for custom capture workflow configuration. The following details the process for the default capture workflow.

Section 1.3.6 Preview

Preview allows the operator to view the most recent photo in preview mode. Preview Mode is a pop-up window with the image displayed on the main screen in full expanded view. When active, the preview window will display over the main screen when the document camera(s) are active and is placed in the background behind the main window when a new container is started by scanning a barcode. The pop-up window in the foreground or background is controlled by the capture program and where in the process an operator is capturing a box.

Section 1.3.7 Capture Manifest Box Photo(s)

In some instances, a box will contain a manifest or inventory of the content. The manifest can be one (1) or more pages. If a manifest is present, the operator will take a manifest photo of each page using the standard document camera by selecting the Manifest button. The manifest button appears on both the Standard and Stadium Camera video feeds.

Note: If the Manifest button is not present, contact your project administrator to have the button added to the capture workflow.

Section 1.3.8 Capture Standard Box Photo

After photographing the outside of the box, the content must be captured. Standard Box Photos are captured at an angle to get most of the files in a single shot with little to no adjustment of the files. If required, rotate the box so that the file labels are captured on the second monitor. If the content camera in focus is the stadium camera, refer to Section 1.3.9 Switch between Standard and Stadium Cameras before capturing standard photos.

Note: If the Standard Box Photo button is not present, contact your project administrator.

Section 1.3.9 Switch between Standard and Stadium Cameras

The Switch Camera button allows the operator to change the document camera the program is using to capture Standard and/or Stadium photos. The switch button with the arrow pointing to the right switches the program to the Stadium Document Camera on the right side of the apparatus. The switch button with the arrow pointing to the left switches the program to the Standard Document Camera on the left side of the apparatus.

Section 1.3.10 Capture Stadium Camera Photo(s)

Make sure the capture program is using the Stadium Document Camera. The Stadium Button captures one (1) or more photos and labels them as a stadium photo. The Stadium Camera can be configured to capture the following photo types: Manifest, Stadium, Divider, File, Tab, and Document.

Section 1.3.10.1 Position the Box for the Stadium Photo

Refer to the Stadium Camera for instructions on capturing stadium photos of the container content.

Section 1.3.11 Rotate the Image for Right Reading File Labels

Once the files are in position, make sure the file labels are in the right orientation for reading them. It is easier to position the camera and files while the image in the photo stream matches the orientation of the files on the stadium ramp. REMEMBER to rotate the image after alignment so that the file labels are not upside down when taking the photo.

Section 1.3.12 Capture Divider Level Box Photo(s)

Dividers are sections within a box. Examples of a divider would include an alphabetical separator that signifies that the following files located after the divider all begin with the letter on the divider. Dividers are a box section separator and should not be confused with a tab, which is a folder section separator.

Note: If the Divider button is not present, contact your project administrator to include the button as part of the capture workflow.

Section 1.3.13 Capture File Level Box Photo(s)

The WIB\u2122 Unit can interchangeably be used to capture box content and/or file level content. If you know that all boxes will be captured at the file level, attach the file capture platform to make file level capture more efficient and ergonomic. See Installation Instructions for the Stadium Ramp and/or File Level Platform to change the WIB\u2122 Unit configuration to the preferred capture method.

Section 1.3.14 Reset Box

The operator can reset a box at any time if there is an error in the capture process. Since the process to capture a single box is within seconds, the process of resetting a box is faster than finding the incorrect photo and recapturing a single photo. The Reset Box button is in the Current Box section of the Message Center.

Section 1.3.15 Rotate Monitor

The operator can rotate the video feed and change the monitor orientation from landscape to portrait. This is very helpful when capturing stadium photos. Select the Monitor Orientation button and manually change the orientation of the monitor.

Note: The operator may need to rotate the image to the right reading orientation after changing monitor orientation.

Section 1.3.16 Done

The Done button is used when there is a post-content capture workflow. This allows the user to complete the content capture and proceed to the post-content capture steps. Contact your project administrator for Standard Operating Procedures regarding the capture workflow process and configuration of the capture workflow.

Note: If the project is configured for scan-time attribution, an attribute entry panel will appear automatically in the Preview Window. See Section 2 Scan Time Attributes.
