Scan

The Scan 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.  The Scan page for updating tracking statuses works with hand held scanner input devices connected to a computer logged into STRATUS as well as iPad and table cameras.
