The NOMAD system has distinct categories of barcodes so that the terminal
can recognise whether the difference between clocking in operator one or
entering task one. There are two types of task barcode. One is for entering
the task there and then, for instance coffee break. The other is for selecting
a task that will requires further information (such as a row or path number to
indicate the operator s location) that will be entered later.
Categories are
Clock in
Clock out
Enter task
Select task
Row/Path

6.3 MAKING AN ENTRY
A typical sequence for operator 1 and task number 3, interrupted by task 100
might be as follows.
1. Scan clock in 001 label (in the canteen/entrance area)
2. Scan select task 003 label (in the canteen/entrance area)
3. Scan row label (in the glasshouse)
4. Scan row label (in the glasshouse)
5. Scan enter task 100 (in the canteen/entrance area)
6. Scan row label (in the glasshouse)
In the above sequence, the first scan (clock in) results in an entry in the
terminal. The second scan (select task) does not produce an entry in the
terminal. The third and fourth scans produce entries for task 3 with the row
number scanned. The fifth scan (enter task) produces an entry in the
terminal.
The meaning of the task numbers depends on how the system has bee set
up, task 3 might be to de- lea f a row of fruit and task 100 might be a coffee
break.
Note that the selected task remains selected in the terminal even when a
directly entered task (such as coffee) is scanned. In this way the operator
can continue with their selected task by scanning the next row number.
