STM V5 Reference Tracking

Written by Nicolas Beal

A new ā€œReference Trackingā€ tab is available on STM V5.


šŸ‘„ Access to the Feature

This tab is available to the following profiles:

  • Expert replenisher

  • Supervisor

  • Replenisher

šŸ“Œ The tab only appears if items with reference tracking are present in the machine.


🟠 Control Indicator

An orange notification is displayed when one or more items need to be checked soon.

āž”ļø This makes it possible to anticipate verification operations before the control date.


šŸ–„ļø Operation

When accessing the feature, two sections are available:


šŸ“„ 1. References to Be Checked

This section allows you to:

  • Identify items requiring a control

  • Retrieve the items directly from the machine for verification


šŸ“¤ 2. Checked References

After the control, this section allows you to:

  • Place the item back into the machine

  • Enter the next control date

āž”ļø Two possibilities:

  • Date already defined in advance in the STS, with the possibility to schedule several dates

  • Manual entry directly on the STM when placing the item back


āœ… Result

Once the operation has been validated and completed:

  • The item is returned to stock

  • It is available again for users

  • It remains usable until the next control deadline


šŸŽÆ Objective

  • Ensure accurate tracking of checked items

  • Anticipate mandatory verifications

  • Guarantee equipment compliance and availability


šŸ†• New Feature

Since STM V5, it is now possible to bulk import reference tracking data via the STS.

This feature saves a considerable amount of time by avoiding individual entry, especially when creating or updating many tracking records.

Bulk import therefore makes it easier to manage items requiring traceability, while ensuring fast and structured data integration.
