Scan

The Scan menu page is used for "continuous" QR scanning and tracking status updates. With each scan, the select Status, Processor, Comment, Hours, and Cost Type will be applied to the scanned QR code for the part, assembly, or package.  Currently, the Scan page for updating tracking statuses only works with an actual scanner input device connected to a computer logged into STRATUS. Cameras and scan applications on phones and tablets only work for scanning the URL and opening the scanned part, assembly, or package on a STRATUS landing page in a browser.
