Two-Phase Work Entry

Techs start a work session by identifying their source lot (scan QR label or type lot number), then complete it after finishing at the hood by entering what they made.

  • Photo capture of index cards with AI-powered lot number recognition
  • QR code scanning to instantly identify source lots
  • Record outputs: new lots created with medium, container, growth stage, and quantity
  • Quality scoring: bacteria cleanliness and plant health ratings

Merge & Dispatch

Combine containers from multiple source lots into a destination lot, or dispatch containers for shipping with photo evidence. Both workflows are step-by-step guided processes.

  • Multi-step merge workflow with quantity validation per source lot
  • Dispatch workflow with removal reasons and evidence photos
  • Automatic lot deactivation when containers reach zero
  • Cross-plant validation prevents accidental mixing of different accessions

Label Printing & Index Cards

Generate and print lot labels, index cards, and container stickers. Index cards show production network instructions in both English and Spanish.

  • Color-coded index cards with source and destination lot information
  • Container labels with individual QR codes (e.g., "1/10", "2/10")
  • Print history lets techs reprint labels from past work sessions
  • Avery-compatible PDF output for standard label sheets

Lot Import with AI

When lots arrive from external sources, techs photograph the index card and AI extracts the lot number, plant name, medium, container, and date. A manager reviews and approves the import.

  • Camera capture of front and back of index cards
  • AI extracts lot details with confidence scores
  • Manager approval queue for pending imports
  • Automatic employee and plant matching from extracted data
