Collecting Area / Factory Entry

After the glasses are received by the sales staff and entered into the computer system for tracking purposes, they are brought to the staging area captured above. Each order is assigned a specific bin where the order (frame, lenses, and associated paperwork) will reside for its duration through the production line. All Sun Rx glasses are assigned to a purple bin (some of these are located in the background of the photo). Each order, and thus bin, is assigned a bar code. This bar code is registered at each stage of production, which makes it extremely efficient to track an order throughout the development process. In fact, they were able to locate my personal order that I had placed at a doctor’s office a couple of days earlier within a couple of minutes.
