We are currently using a process where we use Warehouse Data Collection to issue a serialized part to a shop order. The part in question can be used up to 4 times with 4 different serial numbers. In our application, once we issue the 4 serial numbers, the part is built and those serial numbers are permanently covered and will not be able to be seen again without completely destroying the part.
The question I have is if anyone has an idea of how we can sequence the issue of these parts to know which order they were scanned in? The reason is that I want to know the orientation of the serialized parts in the final assembly (Ex: Left to right is serial 2, 4, 7, 5). I would ideally want some sort of way for my operator to identify that this scan is the left most position, this scan is the second from left, and so on.
Let me know if you need any clarification or is you have any ideas. Anything would help!
