To automate your Handler and use the Handler routes, you need to follow the steps given below:
- Approach your Handler and bring up the Management Clipboard by pressing the designated inventory key.
- Press ‘E’ to use the Management Clipboard for the Handler. This will bring up a small menu. At the very bottom, you will see a section for routes that you can assign.
- The routes menu has a ‘From’ column and a ‘To’ column.
- Interact with the menu and go over to the shelf with your finished products and then to the packaging table. The first location you select goes under your ‘From’ tab, and the second goes under ‘To.’ Therefore, your Handler will then go to the shelf with products, take the products FROM there, and then head over TO the packaging station to pack them. This is how you use Handler routes.
