Figure 65 – PackTrack™ System Layout
Working in PackTrack™ mode requires the presence of an encoder and a presence sensor
to track the moving packs.
All PackTrack™ functionalities are programmed via the Genius™ tool (refer to the Genius™
Help On-Line for details).
PackTrack uses a right-handed reference system (right hand with thumb = X axis; forefinger
= Y axis; middle finger = Z axis) where the X axis coincides with the PS line, the Y axis
coincides with the conveyor direction and the Z axis is oriented upwards from the conveyor
(see figure below).
This coordinate system is absolute for the reading station, i.e. is valid for all the scanners
independently from their position or orientation with respect to the conveyor. The arrows
point in the positive direction.
