Current Process
From visually detecting to entering the details into the database was being done manually by an operator. The operator picks up the pack check for the details (mfg date and serial code) printed at the top of it. While seeing the details the operator enters the details in their own data management application manually by typing the characters from the computer keyboard. Subsequently, he picks up another pack and starts repeating the same procedure again. More than 900 packs were to be inspected everyday. The average inspection cycle time was 6-7 seconds for each pack.
