The Serialized Manufacturing application enables you to establish a connection to the packaging line through a shopfloor channel or to register the packaging line without connection to the shopfloor. Once you have a packaging line, you can send packaging orders to it.
- When your configuration does not have a connection to the shopfloor from Movilitas.Cloud, you can skip the packaging line registration unless your business use case requires the packaging line registration.
- When your configuration has a connection to the shopfloor from Movilitas.Cloud, you must register the packaging line.

Creating a Packaging Line
Before You Begin
If you want a connection to a Wipotec-OCS machine from Movilitas.Cloud, make sure that you have created a shopfloor channel with Wipotec-OCS-v2 source. For more information, see Wipotec-OCS V2 shopfloor channel.
Procedure
1. In the Serialized Manufacturing application, select Packaging --> Packaging lines tab. The application displays the list of packaging lines and the Create packaging line form.
Note: When viewing the details of a packaging line, you can open the Create packaging line form by clicking Create.
2. Fill in the form as described below. The required fields are marked with an asterisk (*) in the form.
| Field | Action |
|---|---|
| Packaging line name | Enter the name of the packaging line. |
| Packaging line tag | Enter the packaging line tag. The tag identifies the packaging line when production orders are sent to the packaging line over the Manufacturer V2 API. TIP: If you want to use multiple words, connect them with a hyphen (-) or an underscore (_), for example, "demo-line-tag". |
| Select shopfloor channel | Select the shopfloor channel that establishes the connection to the packaging line. You can select one from the previously configured Wipotec-OCS V2 channels. To register your packaging line without connection to the machine from Movilitas.Cloud, leave this field blank. |
| Packaging line ID | Enter the identifier of the production line (if any). The value does not have to be unique. When you want to send requests to an Order Management Station (OMS) in Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan, this field is required. |
| Select site | Link the packaging line to a previously configured manufacturing site (if any). The application offers the sites configured under the Site management --> Sites tab. When you want to send requests to an Order Management Station (OMS) in Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan, this field is required. |
3. Click Save.

Searching for a Packaging Line
Procedure
1. In the Serialized Manufacturing application, select Packaging --> Packaging lines tab. The application displays the list of packaging lines.
2. Enter the packaging line name in the search field.
- The list of the packaging lines is filtered based on the search criteria.
- You can reset the filter by clicking the Reset filters icon.
3. Select the packaging line to view its details.
In the following example, we are searching for the packaging lines having "test packaging" in the name and we are selecting one of the search results:
- An external system is integrated with Movilitas.Cloud over the Manufacturer V2 API, because the packaging line tag is provided.
- This packaging line is connected to a shopfloor channel.
In the following example, we are searching for a packaging line that is involved in serialization activities for the Kazakhstan/Uzbekistan market:
- The packaging line ID is provided because it is required when connecting to the OMS.
- The packaging line is linked to a previously configured manufacturing site because this data is required when connecting to the OMS.
