Brick Handling Meeting Nagoya

1
BRICK HANDLINGBMS/BMM Point of view

• D. Duchesneau
• T. Le Flour
• S. Lieunard

2
SummaryFrom the extraction to the brick
development

• XRay Marking
• Shielded Area
• Hardware needs
• General DB for history

3
General Scheme

• Brick flow
• Brick States
• In the detector, Wait for XRay marking, Wait for
  CS Result, Wait for Dev.Lab Shipment, Wait for
  loading

BAM

XRay Marking station

• Actions
• Matrix code reading Automatic or manual
• BMM Controls
• Expected brick
• Brick already marked ? consequence on the brick
  positionning for the XRay
• XRay marking
• Brick sent to Shielded Area
• Remarks
• Brick could be sent to Shielded Area before
  marking and sent back for marking ? BMM has to
  accept brick arriving in the shielded area even
  if the marking has not been done

5
Operator Interface XRay Station
6
Shielded Area Brick entrance

• SA is the place where there will be the largest
  number bricks outside the detector
• Actions
• Matrix code reading ? Check if brick is expected
• Detaching the CS Cover
• Printing the Brick id on a label
• Sticking the label on CS envelop
• Reading the shelf id
• Storing the brick on shelf
• Brick state Wait for CS Scanning result

7
Shielded Area Brick entrance(2)

• Remarks
• If brick has been marked many times ? CS
  identification inside the envelop has to be
  marked differently (the brick id could be used
  alone)
• An identifier convention on the label sticked on
  the envelop has to be defined
• A way of providing this info. to the label system
  has to be defined.
• Shelf identification
• Each cell id uniquely identified.
• In order to add new shelf is need, the coding
  convention for shelf has to include
• Shelf Number, Row Number, Column Number.
• Each shelf cell will have a matrix code label
  glued in front of cell
• BMM could be the software part dedicated to the
  shelf cell matrix code printing.

8
Shielded Area Brick Management

• Depending of the CS Scanning result
• Brick state will change
• A expert commission will validate (thru a
  dedicated BMM GUI) the result in order to set the
  next brick state
• Send to Surface lab
• Return to detector
• Brick State
• Brick waiting for dev. Lab shipment
• Brick waiting for loading

9
Shielded Area GUI Example
Brick marked at the XRay and expected at the
Shielded Area
Brick ordered by The Dev. Lab
10
Expert Commission GUI Example
Dedicated GUI to the expert commission in order
to confirm the CS scanning result. These action
will put the brick in the right state fro the
next step of the brick life cycle
11
Shielded Area Brick Shipment to Dev. Lab

• BMM will offer a GUI displaying bricks with
  several criteria such as
• Development priority
• Chronology (Extraction date, Event date ?)
• Dev. Lab orders for shipment
• Operator Actions
• Brick selection in a list on display ? BMM will
  locate graphically the brick on shelf
• Reading brick and shelf matrix code ? Shelf
  dissociation
• Put brick in a transportation box

12
Hardware needs

• Same matrix code reader at all locations
• Tests and code writing already done with the
  matrix code reader model used at the XRAY Marking
• Data Matrix code printer
• Data matrix code printing for the CS envelop
• Computers
• Shielded Area
• To develop as the central place of the brick
  handling
• A PC (lab top ?) with a matrix code reader
  connected ? Brick Display and Management

13
Hardware needs
Datamax DMX-E-4304 TD (650,00 .HT)
HawkEye 50T Hand-Held Scanner

• Hardware availability ?
• Who and When ?

14
General DB for Brick History

• BMM will not deal with the brick shipment
• In order to follow the brick shipment (date ,
  location, ), WEB data displays will be based on
  General DB access.
• BMM Database will be replicated in the Central DB
  ? Actual BMM tools will be fully available
