Pre-Assigned and Unassigned CaseID Methods

Pre-Assigned CaseID

Requires Highly Disciplined Operations

Benefits:

• Removes need to manually scan LucidIDs into CaseIDs 
• CaseID and LucidID labels generate at the same time

Drawbacks:

• Need to ensure CaseIDs and LucidID labels remain together after printing for alignment with label application
• Users could mispack case and lose the CaseID association 
• Loses the quality control assurance of physically scanning into cases  
• Broken labels of any nature (rip, mis-application, mis-print) all require manual correction

Unassigned CaseID

Allows Flexibility But Adds A Step

Benefits:

• Scanning into cases  guarantees casing accuracy
• LucidIDs and CaseIDs can be generated and associated at different times
• Broken labels of any kind can be re-generated, printed, and scanned into correct CaseID 
• Doesn’t require high discipline and training for staff

Drawbacks:

• Manually scanning adds a step
• Requires scanners to effectively scan at scale
