Machines

Inventorize → Machines (/machines) lists every scanning machine linked to your account and lets you monitor, rename, or unlink them. For first-time hardware setup and pairing your machine to your account, see Account Setup.

Machine status​

Each machine card polls its live status every 15 seconds (every 10 seconds on the detail page) and shows one of:

StatusMeaning
RunningActively scanning
PausedScan session paused (often because the tray is full)
StoppingEnding its current session
ReadyOnline and idle, ready to start a scan
OfflineNot responding — check its power and Wi-Fi connection

Additional badges appear alongside the main status: whether the tray is loaded or empty, whether a session is currently active, Wi-Fi signal strength (Excellent/Good/Fair/Weak), and any error indicator. Hovering the status badge shows a detailed tooltip with the exact state, SSID, IP address, signal strength in dBm, and the last error if any.

Adding a machine​

Select Add a machine at the top of the list (this panel is auto-expanded if you have no machines yet) to see the six-step setup tutorial and registration form — the full walkthrough is in Account Setup.

Machine details​

Selecting a machine opens its detail page, where you can:

  • Rename it inline (hover the name for a pencil icon)
  • See its scan history — up to three recent scans at a time, with a "View N more" button to load the rest, each linking straight to that scan
  • Jump to Start a New Scan if it has no scan history yet, or View All Scans if it does
  • Unlink Machine — a two-step confirmation (select once, then confirm "Yes, Unlink Machine") permanently removes the machine from your account. Existing scans stay in your history; only the machine link is removed, and this cannot be undone.

:::note What you won't find here There currently aren't any remote maintenance controls on these pages — no "clear image chamber," restart, or firmware update buttons, and no Wi-Fi reconfiguration screen (Wi-Fi is set during the on-device pairing steps only). Live Pause / Resume / End controls for an in-progress scan live on that scan's own detail page, not here — see Starting & Reviewing a Scan. :::

Troubleshooting​

  • Machine shows Offline — confirm it's powered on and connected to your home Wi-Fi. If it was recently moved or your network changed, you may need to re-pair it using the on-device setup steps in Account Setup.
  • Registration code won't verify — codes expire; make sure the device's LED is steady (indicating it's on your Wi-Fi) and request a new code from its setup page.
  • Can't start a scan — the machine must show as online in the scan setup wizard's scanner list; offline machines can't be selected.
