Gage Kits are useful when you have a set of gages (e.g. pin gages, thread gages, or ring gages) that are custom to a Part Number or a Family of Parts. Rather than checking each gage in and out one by one, gage kits allow you to predefine packs of gages that can be checked in and out with a single transaction.
As an example, a kit of 25 gages, can be issued or returned with a single transaction, instead of transacting 25 gages individually. Gage Kits result in significant time savings, reducing the number of transactions the tool-crib has to handle.
The process is as follows:
1. Navigate to the "Gage Kits" tile. By default, this is not activated in all accounts, so please reach out to support@1factory.com if you would like to use this feature
2. Click "New Gage Kit" and list all the gage IDs that you want to include in this kit:
3. Click save, then repeat for other gage kits you need to set up.
Now when you go to the "Gage Transactions" tile, you can check out the whole kit at once by typing in the Kit ID. This will mark all the individual gages as "issued".
Loaning (Temporary Removal of Gages from a Kit):
When needed, an individual gage can be "loaned" out from a gage kit.
