Material Incoming
Apply a unique Reel ID (generated by the BarTector™ program) to each reel of incoming components. Associate the Reel ID to the Part Number and Quantity on the reel by scanning the label on the reel.

Feeder Set-up
Associate the Reel ID and the Feeder by scanning both the Reel ID and the unique Feeder ID. This step must be performed only once when the reel is being loaded onto the Feeder.

Loading For Production
Load the feeders onto the placement machine. No further scanning is required.

Remarks
The scanning of the reel and feeder can be performed anywhere within the manufacturing site.
