Lista 2023 — storage device setup

What you can do

Set up a Lista 2023 cabinet in CRIBWISE: create the storage device in the Admin Portal, then scan the cabinet from the Shop Floor Interface to create its modules and locations – and rescan later when drawers change.

Storage device settings

Setting Value
Type Location controlled
Manufacturer Lista 2023
IP address and port Set according to the physical connection to the device

Module and location structure

  • No setup of modules and locations is needed in the Admin Portal – both are created from the SFI, as described below.
  • One module corresponds to one drawer.
  • One location is created for each lockable position of an LPC drawer.
  • One location is created for each LDC drawer. Additional locations for an LDC drawer can be created manually from the Admin Portal or the SFI.

Location structure of a Lista 2023 cabinet

How locations are laid out in a Lista 2023 cabinet.

Before you start

  • The Lista controller must be connected to the PC where the SFI is installed, and reachable on the IP address and port set on the storage device.
  • Your SFI user needs the Setup locations privilege. Without it, the option to manage Lista locations is not shown.

Quick start

Experienced users – configure a new cabinet in 4 steps:

  1. Create the storage device in the Admin Portal.
  2. Release and sync it to the SFI.
  3. Open Stock management → Manage Lista locations and press Rescan configuration.
  4. Press Update modules and confirm.

Steps

Step 1 — Create and release the storage device

  1. Create a new storage device in the Admin Portal with the settings above.
  2. Release the storage device and sync it to the SFI.

Step 2 — Scan the cabinet from the SFI

  1. In the SFI, go to Stock management → Manage Lista locations.
  2. If there are several Lista 2023 cabinets, select the one to configure.
  3. Press Rescan configuration to read the configuration from the cabinet.

The list of locations is empty for a newly created device until the scan is done.

Manage Lista locations in the SFI with an empty location list

A new cabinet has no locations until you rescan its configuration.

Step 3 — Create the modules

Once the configuration is read, all modules are listed with their type (LPC or LDC) and the number of locations in each.

  1. Press Update modules.
  2. Confirm the change.

Success: The cabinet is configured and ready to use.

Detected Lista cabinet configuration with the Update modules option

The configuration read from the cabinet, ready to be created in CRIBWISE.

Update cabinet configuration

Update the configuration when drawers are replaced with another type or the cabinet is extended. Modules and locations that stay the same are not affected – item assignments and physical quantities in them remain intact.

Note: When a drawer is replaced by a drawer of the same configuration – after a hardware failure, for example – there is no need to update the cabinet configuration.

  1. Go to Manage Lista locations as when setting up a new cabinet.
  2. Press Rescan configuration.
  3. If the cabinet reports something different from what the SFI holds, the new configuration is shown with an Update modules option. Press it and confirm.

Rescan configuration option on an existing Lista cabinet

Rescanning an existing cabinet shows any differences.

Warning: If a module or location no longer exists after the update, every item assigned to it is removed, and a withdraw transaction is generated for any physical quantity in those locations.

Custom names of modules and locations are kept after an update.

Troubleshooting

Problem Likely cause Fix
Manage Lista locations is not in the SFI menu. The user lacks the Setup locations privilege. Grant the privilege to the SFI user, or use one that has it.
Rescan configuration returns nothing. The Lista controller is not reachable on the configured IP address and port. Check the physical connection and the address on the storage device.
The location list stays empty after creating the device. The storage device was not released and synced, or no scan has been run. Release and sync the storage device, then rescan the configuration.
Items disappeared after an update. Their module or location no longer exists in the cabinet. Expected behaviour – check the withdraw transactions and reassign the items to existing locations.
