Pair the device
Linked Scanner Operations gives warehouse teams a controlled way to handle linked scanner pairing, scan sessions, targets, and branch workflows. In AWRA, the warehouse is not only a storage place; it is where physical evidence, location truth, and service commitments meet.
The practical goal is to reduce guesswork. Users should know which location, bin, transfer, scan session, device, or receiving record proves what happened before stock is made available or moved again.
In practice, a branch starts a count session, pairs the scanner, selects the correct location target, and closes the session after resolving mismatches. The flow below shows the operating sequence users should recognize before they act.
Linked scanner session
Create session
User starts a scan task with branch and target.
Pair device
Scanner is linked to the active session.
Scan records
Items, assets, or POs are captured in context.
Resolve exceptions
Duplicates, misses, and wrong targets are handled.
Close session
Results are reviewed and submitted.
Warehouse model
- Pairing connects device activity to a user task.
- Targets keep scans in the right workflow.
- Branch context prevents mixed results.
- Session close turns scans into evidence.
