Introduction

Requirements

Minimum AdvanNet version: 2.8.35

The AdvanFlow Status Page is a web utility that helps understanding AdvanFlow operation.

The page is accessed at

http://$DEVICE_IP/adfl/monitor.html

What follows is a capture of the AdvanFlow Monitor page

Operation

The operation is very simple, once the page is loaded it shows the most important information in real time:

• Whether the system is operating, should be RUNNING at all the time.

• It shows the aggregated IN/OUT items detected in the current session. This is the most important piece of information

• It shows the number of IN/OUT events in the current session. An IN/OUT event may have more than one item. A session is defined as the action of moving products in front of AdvanFlow to detect them as input/output moves.

• IN/OUT activity. The activity is defined as the RF detection of item at the IN/OUT antenna block. Activity (RF reads) at both antenna blocks are required to generate IN/OUT moves

A normal IN move can be broken down to:

1. Activity is detected in the OUT antenna block

2. Followed by activity detected in the IN antenna block

3. Followed by an IN move.

Captures

Capture on an idle system

Capture on a system with RF activity at the IN antenna block

Capture on a system with RF activity at the OUT antenna block

Capture on a system with a detected IN move, with one event and 3 items

Capture on a system with a detected IN move, with two events and a total (all items from all events) 13 items

Capture on a system with a detected OUT move, with one event and 6 items

Capture on a system with a detected OUT move, with two events and a total (all items from all events) 10 items

Configuration

Little configuration is needed.

• It is possible to flip the IN/OUT columns. The idea is to physically align the real In put/Ouptut areas with the IN/OUT columns, this way it is simpler to understand the flow of goods.

• Clear counters. After some time elapses without further inputs received, the different counters are cleared.
