This document provides instructions for uploading part and model files to the MII PTL system. It describes pre-requisites like file formatting, and steps for uploading the files, reconciling the bill of materials, validating pick to light assignments, and resolving issues like missing, new, or incorrect data. It also explains how to edit part locations, quantities, split parts, add new parts, groups, controllers and buttons to the system. The goal is to provide a complete guide for configuring and maintaining the PTL data in MII.

 When the Controllers lag or there is an incomplete pick, it is advised to
stop and start the Line
 If at the first scan lights do not turn up right, it is advised to wait until a 15
minutes cycle, stop and start the Line.
 If a pick is incomplete and the buttons are not turned off, the system will
hang. The lights will turn off after some time and the pick will remain
