1. Objective
This procedure aims to present the different article pick-up options available in the STM V5 software.
STM V5 offers a modernized interface designed to provide smoother, faster, and more intuitive daily use. The software helps optimize machine operations through several pick-up modes adapted to operatorsâ needs.
2. General overview
In STM V5, operators have several options for picking up articles:
pick-up via standard basket: allows one or more articles to be selected before validating the pick-up;
quick pick-up: allows a single article to be picked up directly, saving time during simple operations;
pick-up from a C&C delivery: allows articles associated with a specific C&C delivery to be picked up;
access via personalized favorites: allows the most frequently used articles to be found quickly, then picked up via basket or quick pick-up.
Personalized favorites are therefore not an independent pick-up mode. They are only used to make frequently used articles easier to access.
> Pick-up via standard basket
Pick-up via standard basket allows the operator to select one or more articles before validating the operation.
This mode is recommended when several articles need to be prepared or picked up in the same operation.
Principle
The operator selects the desired articles and adds them to the basket. Once the selection is complete, the operator checks the basket contents, then validates the pick-up.
Recommended use
This mode should be used when:
several articles need to be picked up at the same time;
the operator wants to check the selection before validation;
the operation requires more complete preparation.
> Quick pick-up of a single article
STM V5 allows a quick pick-up to be performed when only one article is selected.
In the STM interface, this action is identified as âRetrieve articleâ.
This mode saves time during simple machine operations by avoiding the need to go through a complete basket process when it is not necessary.
Principle
When the operator selects a single article, they can directly pick up this article using the âRetrieve articleâ function.
Recommended use
This mode should be used when:
only one article needs to be picked up;
the operation must be carried out quickly;
no basket check is required before validation.
> Pick-up from a C&C delivery
STM V5 also allows articles to be picked up from C&C deliveries.
This mode allows the operator to access articles linked to a specific delivery and pick them up directly from that delivery.
Principle
The operator selects the relevant C&C delivery, checks the associated articles, then picks up the required articles.
Recommended use
This mode should be used when:
the articles to be picked up are linked to a C&C delivery;
the operator wants to work from an identified delivery;
the pick-up must be performed as part of a C&C flow.
> Use of personalized favorites
STM V5 allows operators to define personalized favorites in order to access the most frequently used articles more quickly.
This feature improves daily efficiency by reducing the time spent searching for frequently used articles.
Principle
The operator can add certain articles to favorites so that they can be found more easily during future use.
Once the favorite article has been selected, the operator can then choose the appropriate pick-up type:
pick-up via standard basket, if the article needs to be added to a selection with other articles;
quick pick-up, if the article needs to be picked up alone and immediately.
Recommended use
Personalized favorites are particularly useful when:
certain articles are used regularly;
the operator wants to reduce search time;
the favorite article then needs to be picked up via basket or quick pick-up.
7. Summary table
Option | Description | Recommended use |
Pick-up via standard basket | Selection of one or more articles before validating the pick-up | To prepare a pick-up containing several articles or requiring verification before validation |
Quick pick-up | Direct pick-up of a single article | To save time during a simple operation with one single article |
Pick-up from a C&C delivery | Pick-up of articles linked to a specific C&C delivery | To perform a pick-up as part of a C&C delivery flow |
Personalized favorites | Quick access to frequent articles | To quickly find an article, then perform a basket pick-up or a quick pick-up |
8. Conclusion
STM V5 offers several article pick-up options in order to adapt to the different use cases encountered on the machine.
Pick-up via standard basket allows a selection of articles to be prepared and validated. Quick pick-up saves time when only one article needs to be picked up. Pick-up from a C&C delivery allows articles associated with a specific delivery to be processed.
Personalized favorites complete these features by making the most frequently used articles easier to access, while allowing the operator to choose between a standard basket pick-up or a quick pick-up.
