Design AutoID to run on multiple threads. Currently, AutoID operates in a round-robin mode meaning it goes through all of the devices that are assigned to it instead of being devoted to a particular device. A good example would be waiting for a scale to settle, currently it may wait on a scale to settle over a few seconds, during this time, it only processes the scale that is settling and nothing else, the gain would be seen over the period of a day by many loads.
Hi David,
Apex has a feature where you can group Auto ID instances by ID Station Group. This allows you to run multiple instances of Auto ID. In this arrangement, each instance of Auto ID controls a segment or subset of the available ID Stations.
