Kardex Tray Queue

The Kardex Tray Queue window allows users to communicate with the Kardex storage units to retrieve trays for required part transactions.

As part transactions are initiated in eMRO (Picklists, Transfer Orders, Bin Transfers, etc.), the transactions are listed in the 'Requests Queue' section at the top of this window.

1. From this window the user will retrieve the required tray to access the necessary bin by clicking the Process Next button.
2. Then depending on the transaction, the user will either retrieve the part from the bin or store the part in the bin.
3. Once ready, the user clicks the Tray Return button to send the tray back before processing another transaction from the queue.
4. The processed request will then be removed from the 'Requests Queue' section.

The queue will only show transactions for trays/bins from the selected Kardex 'Storage Unit'.

Applicable Transactions for Kardex

These actions in eMRO will generate a transaction in the queue:

• PICKLIST/CREATE
• BIN/TRANSFER
• TO/CREATE
• ONE/STEP/TRANSFER
• TS/CREATE

This action in eMRO will delete a transaction in the queue:

• PICKLIST/CANCEL

Setting Queue Priorities

The transactions listed in the queue will be based on the Priority of the eMRO transaction. Each Priority transaction code contains a Priority Level. Transactions with high Priority Levels will be prioritized in the queue over transaction with lower Priority Levels.

Regardless of the transaction's Priority, the user can manually adjust the priority of any transaction in the queue by using the Up and Down arrows to the left of the 'Requested Queue' section.

Alternatively, uses can drag and drop an item to change it's priority. To do so, click on the Binning No.

Then drag that item to where it should go in the queue.

Notice that the order of items has been adjusted.

Processing a Transaction

Click the Process Next button to have the Kardex system delivered the next required tray. Once selected, the progress of the command is shown to the far right of the line item.

Processed Requests

The the bottom of the window, all transactions that have been processed by the user are listed in the 'Processed Requests' section.

Tray Return

Click the Tray Return button to send the tray back into its position in the Storage Unit once the transaction has been completed. Once the tray has been returned the next transaction can be processed.

Manual Requests

Click the Manual Request button to request a specific Tray that may not be listed in the queue. Enter the Tray for that Storage Unit and the Action (Retrieve or Store). Then click the Add button to add the requested tray to the queue.

Cancel Request

Click the Cancel Request button if a request that has already been fulfilled was not cleared from the queue. This option should not be used to cancel a transaction (like a Picklist or T/O).

Once the selected item is canceled, it is no longer displayed in the queue.
