How the app reads codes
- Zebra: the app creates its own DataWedge profile, with no manual configuration
- Honeywell: the app uses the device scanner
- Phones: the app reads with the camera
Success, warning and error each have a distinct sound and vibration.
What each operator sees
The operator sees their own tasks and those in the work pool: receipts, put-aways, pick lists and counts.
- The operator takes a task as lead or joins as a helper
- The app also supports building pallets, moving stock, looking up items by scanning and printing labels
What works without a signal
Any work the app cannot send is stored on the handheld and sent when the connection returns.
- Counts
- Work in full and are sent when the connection returns.
- Put-aways and movements
- Are stored on the handheld and sent when the connection returns.
- Receiving and picking
- Require a connection to start and to close.
Sharing a handheld between shifts
Each operator signs in with their own user through Switch user. Tasks in progress remain under the name of the person who started them.
- The first session registers the handheld in your instance
Reading RFID tags
RFID reading is available in Professional and Enterprise. With the Zebra RFD40 sled connected to a TC27 by USB-C, the app reads EPCs and links them to product, lot, serial number, pallet and location.
- This combination is field-verified; the MC3300R and MC3300xR are compatible
- In Essentials, the app reads barcodes
Operator sign-in in Enterprise
In Enterprise, the operator signs in with a corporate account from Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace or another SAML 2.0 or OIDC provider.
- On shared handhelds, the operator uses a badge and PIN; signing in ends the previous shift’s session
- After the fifth incorrect PIN, the badge is locked
Installation
The app is installed from Google Play. On first launch, the operator enters the company address, such as yourcompany.chainlink.mx, and signs in. The app is available in Spanish and English.
