Pick Zones
Pick Zones are areas within a packaging flow where specific items or groups of items are located. Usually, these locations have conveyor systems that loop through them. In a large packaging workflow, Packsize machines can be setup to work with one or more specific Pick Zones.
Pick Zones can be in the following states:
Normal: These packages have a normal priority and will be produced after expedited cartons
Stop: These packages will not be produced while in the stop state
Add a Pick Zone

Enter information for the pick zone as needed:
Pick Zone Name: This can be either a system-assigned name, or something that identifies clearly which pick zone this is (e.g., PZ1).
Description: This is helpful when users have more than one pick zone. Users can add additional information to differentiate this pick zone from any others.
