Actual Qs and Ans Expert-Verified Explanation
This Exam contains:
-Guarantee passing score -33 Questions and Answers -format set of multiple-choice -Expert-Verified Explanation
Question 1: sortation zone operational
Answer:
Update photoeyes at each divert location watch for packages that are expected to physically divert.If a package is seen at an unexpected location after it is to divert the system will suspend operation and wait for the photoeye to be cleared.The slam system will start on its own once the photo eye has been cleared.
Question 2: Buffer Zone
Answer:
allows processing time between scale cameras and printers
Question 3: common kickout codes causes
Answer:
Missing or poorly printed labels Purge/Auto flush Package was misaligned on conveyor and no label zone was found Additional work needed Incorrect Weight (product inside could be missing or incorrect) Sp00 not scanned at Pack
Question 4: scale zone subcomponents list and describe them
Answer:
Profilers The dimensions of the package are determined by a set of two displacement measure lasers that are mounted vertically above the belt and a horizontally mounted package present photo-eye Scale The scale measures a single package indexing across the conveyor. It relays this information to the barcode readers.Barcode Readers The Barcode Vision Scanners are a set of three vision cameras that combine to obtain a 5 sided image of the package. These cameras look for an decodable identification barcodes on a package. (SP00 label) The readers take the scale data (weight) and send it to the SLAM PLC
Question 5: Sortation Zone
Answer:
Diverts the package to the destination
Question 6: buffer zone purpose
Answer:
The primary purpose of the buffer conveyor is to add travel time to the system while the SLAM processes the information from the scale section and generates the appropriate shipping label.
Question 7: apply zone purposes
Answer:
A virtual photo eye is used in the first belt section to re-establish the gap between packages, relying on the PLC to calculate the position of the package.A virtual photo eye in the second belt section is used to shop packages before entering the next zone should the downstream conveyors stop.
Question 8: What happens when a package/shipment goes through a SLAM?
Answer:
1) First the SLAM line reads the SPOO label on a package It will also check to make sure a HAZMAT label is on the package (if it's a hazmat shipment).
2) Then the SLAM weighs the package
3) Now that the SLAM has both the weight and SP00 label on the package, the SLAM machine contacts Amazon's Warehouse Management System (WMS). The SLAM machine has to know if the weight of the package matches the combined weights of the individual items packed inside.
4) If the package has the correct weight, a shipping label is printed and applied to the package.
5) Finally, the SLAM checks the package; it reads the shipping label, and the SP00 label (again). It confirms that the shipping label is correct.6) If something is not right. The SLAM will send the package down the kick out path for additional problem solving.
Question 9: buffer zone dependencies
Answer:
A virtual photo eye is used in the first belt section to re-establish the gap between packages, relying on the PLC to calculate the position of the package.A virtual photo eye in the second belt section is used to shop packages before entering the next zone should the downstream conveyors stop.
Question 10: sortation zone divert
Answer:
Kickout If there was any error detected with the package within the SLAM system the package will be diverted to kick out at the first divert
Question 11: Alignment Zone purpose
Answer:
The purpose of the alignment conveyor is to justify packages to the side needed for label application packages so that they travel through the system one by one
Question 12: apply zone dependencies
Answer:
At the in-feed end of the applicator conveyor is a transfer photo eye that is use to re-establish the "true" physical location of a package in the SLAM PLC. The logical position if updated to match this physical position if PLC was expecting to be blocked at that time, or within a set tolerance. Any unexpected flags are ignored (these instances are counted in the HMI, see the Tracking screen) A virtual Trigger eye is used to tell the applicator to activate the tamp This distance is calculated by the PLC once the transfer eye is flagged, using the known slam and package data
Question 13: metering zone dependencies
Answer:
This conveyor is comprised of two belt sections, the second running slightly faster than the first to pull a gap between packages.
Question 14: buffer zone components
Answer:
This conveyor is comprised of two belt sections after the scale.
Question 15: Scale Zone
Answer:
measures weight & dimensions of package and reads sp00 for package information
Question 16: overhieght detection dependencies
Answer:
The SLAM PLC will stop the Metering Conveyor if the sensor detects a package taller than the set height
Question 17: sortation zone kickout codes
Answer:
Kickout Packages may receive a problem solve label to easily identify and correct the shipment issue The Kickout zone should be kept monitored as the SLAM will stop once the kickout area is full of packages. Keep the Photoeye clear to prevent stoppages.
Question 18: alignment zone photoeye
Answer:
A package present photo eye at the discharge end of the alignment conveyor is used to stop packages at this section should the downstream portions of SLAM stop.
Question 19: sortation zone purpose
Answer:
The sortation system just after the SLAM verify zone is used to divert packages to one of two or more destinations. All SLAM lines have at least two diverts.
