Step-by-step guides for using Coilinx on the shop floor.

Glossary

Look up common Coilinx terms used across the app.

This glossary explains words you will see while receiving stock, checking items out, and reviewing reports.

The kind of stock you track — for example a specific wire, filament, or spool category. Defined in Settings → Manage Types.

A storage location where inventory items are grouped. Created from the Inventory tab.

A summary report (admins) showing what Coilinx sees in your inventory right now.

The weight recorded when a new item is received into inventory.

The length recorded when a new item is received, when your workflow tracks length per spool.

How much usable length is left on an active item after use or partial consumption.

The current weight of an active item, updated when you weigh returns or adjustments.

Items that are no longer active — consumed, archived, or fully depleted — tracked separately from active stock.

Assigning an inventory item to yourself (or recording that it left the shelf) from the Check Out tab or Home.

Weighing an item when it comes back and updating remaining weight and length in Coilinx.

The connected weighing device that sends live weight into the app via Bluetooth.

A material property linking weight and length. Set on material types when your workflow uses weight to estimate length.

Report checks (admins) that flag missing weights, lengths, pricing, or other incomplete records.

Ways to identify an item from a label during Check Out or Return instead of searching manually.

Admins manage company settings, users, and Reports. Employees handle day-to-day receive, inventory, and checkout tasks.

Use Material Type for what the stock is, and Warehouse for where it is stored.

Starting Weight is measured in weight units (lb, kg). Starting Length is measured in length units (ft, in) when your process tracks spool length.
