I-Point

The application of this data capturing point is used for identifying a car body at the entry of the warehouse. It features a scanner operation (3 scanners), communication with FIS-host-systems, emergency-data-entry in the case of a scanner-fault and a display of important data.
Cars approaching this point have two barcode labels attached to the outside of the body, which are readable by stationary and unattended scanner systems. One label was used in the body shop and the paint shop (TPS) and the other is used in the final assembly line. So, both labels must contain identical information.
 
The point performs two general functions:
- identify the car by reading the barcode and sending this data to the overlaid system, and
- check whether both label have the same ID code
   
When a new cycle is activated by the start-scanner-signal, all three scanners (two for the TPS label and one for the M1 label) are started and the PKN on the two labels are read. Once both PKN numbers were received, they are compared. If both numbers are identical, the number is sent to FIS-OPTIMO and will be shown on the display.
If the signal EMPTY SKID is set, the system generates a PKN number with all positions filled with ‘S’ and does not start the scanner. If both numbers do not match, an alarm output is set, the manual entry is enabled and one of the numbers must be corrected. I-Point Status
When FIS responds without error to the transmission the conveyor is released.

Misreadings of the unattended scanners are solved by two methods:
- local manual entry, or
- remote manual entry from a control room. There are video camera systems installed, which display the barcode labels on a monitor in the control room
