Workstation for manual and automated marking
IDPack is installed where marking is actually performed: on a standard computer, a laptop at the packing table, an industrial panel PC, a data collection terminal, or a workstation on the line. The program runs on Windows, Linux, and Android, so the same software can be used for a manual station, a small production site, home production, a warehouse, or an automated area.
The operator prints marking codes, verifies them with a scanner or camera, assembles cartons, kits, and pallets, prints aggregation labels, and performs assembly, disassembly, and reassembly of aggregates.
For aggregates, labels can be printed from templates created in our industrial label editor IDLabel.
Tasks for Chestny ZNAK, verification, and aggregation
IDPack can work through production tasks. A task can be created directly in the program or prepared in advance in IDAdmin when work needs to be distributed centrally between several workstations, lines, or marking areas.
The task defines what must be done: print codes, including codes received from Chestny ZNAK, verify application with a scanner or camera, perform aggregation, assemble kits, close cartons and pallets, and print labels for aggregates. The operator starts a prepared task and follows a clear workflow instead of selecting every parameter manually.
Aggregation is configured for the specific production process: it can be performed with a scanner, a camera, through kits, and with an unlimited number of aggregation levels. Aggregation schemes, code handling rules, products, label templates, and exchange settings are configured in IDAdmin.
After the task is completed, a report is generated. It can be exported to an external information system or used to submit data to Chestny ZNAK, linking the actual production operations with digital reporting.
Simplified aggregation for fast operations
IDPack includes a very simple aggregation mode. The operator selects a product, scans codes, and the program starts assembling a new aggregate according to a preconfigured scheme. If the operator starts working with another product, aggregation of the new product begins.
The workflow is clear for personnel with any level of experience: scan the product, and the program fills the current aggregate and controls the process according to the selected rules.
If a product or aggregate is added by mistake, it can be removed immediately and work can continue. Simplified aggregation is suitable for small batches, manual areas, home and small-scale production, package reassembly, and tasks where speed and a minimum number of actions are important.
Search, assembly, disassembly, and reassembly of aggregates
In the Search section, operators can search for item codes, kits, and aggregates with an unlimited number of nesting levels. The operator sees where a specific code is located: in which carton, pallet, or other aggregate, and which products and aggregates are inside the selected package.
The hierarchy can be navigated up and down: from an item to a carton, from a carton to a pallet, and from a pallet to its nested elements. This helps quickly understand what has actually been assembled, where the required code is located, and what the composition of a specific aggregate is.
From search, the operator can switch to aggregate disassembly: remove an item, add an item, replace an item, or rebuild the aggregate after an error. A label can also be recreated and printed again if it is damaged, lost, or the package needs to be relabeled.
Shipments
IDPack can be used to prepare shipments. The user creates a shipment, adds codes and aggregates by scanning, and sees the product composition, the number of item codes and aggregates, the current process status, the container number, and the order number.
Within a shipment, the user can switch between adding and removing codes, complete the shipment, print a packing list, export data to a file, and import a shipment from a file. This is useful for warehouse preparation, container shipments, and transferring data to external accounting systems.
For remote sites and contract manufacturing, shipments are especially important: they connect physically assembled packages with digital codes and documents. This scenario is described in more detail in the solution for marking at remote production sites.
Working with different equipment types
IDPack connects to the equipment used at the marking workstation: scanners, cameras, printers, and PLCs. Scanners can be added as COM-port devices or as scanners operating in keyboard mode.
Cameras can be connected over TCP, while PLCs are used to exchange signals with the line and reject products, including via Modbus TCP. This makes IDPack suitable both for a simple manual station and for an area with automatic devices.
Printing can be performed as an image through a driver or through proprietary printer protocols. TSC, Zebra, SATO, HPRT, Rynan, Dikai, and other industrial printers used in marking and packaging areas are supported.
What the company gets
Reliable software for marking and aggregation
IDPack covers printing, verification, aggregation, package reassembly, and Chestny ZNAK operations at one workstation.
Aggregation without manual confusion
Cartons, kits, pallets, and other levels are assembled according to a configured scheme with composition control and label printing.
Error correction in the workflow
The operator can find a code or aggregate, remove an extra item, add an item, replace an item, disassemble a package, and assemble it again.
Shipment support
Codes and aggregates are added by scanning; packing lists, exchange files, and data for further reporting are generated.
Equipment configuration for the site
Scanners, cameras, printers, and PLCs are connected in the program and used in printing, verification, aggregation, and rejection scenarios.
Suitable for different scales
IDPack can be used at a manual station, small production site, home production, warehouse, industrial panel, or automated line.
