      • Roll Length
      • Roll Count
    • Choose how you want to mix the dye lot rolls using the available mix options (No Mix, Sequential, or Mix).

    Explanation of Different Mix Options:

    No Mix: 
    1. The system does not mix different dye lots within the same room or area.
    2. Each room or section will be assigned a single dye lot to maintain color consistency.
    3. If a dye lot runs out, a new dye lot will be assigned to a different section, but never mixed within the same section.
    Sequential: 
    1. The system assigns dye lots one at a time in a sequential manner.
    2. This means one dye lot will be used until it is exhausted, and only then will the system start using the next available dye lot.
    3. This helps in maintaining some level of color consistency while maximizing material usage.
    Mix:
    1. The system allows multiple dye lots to be mixed freely within the same room or section.
    2. This option is useful when color variation is not a concern or when maximizing material efficiency is a higher priority than maintaining uniform dye lot consistency.
