## Behavior

This event sends the *CheckIn* Event to the MES system when a board is entering the line. This event is only available for line based traceability with a scanner installed in front of the line. The *CheckIn* event is not available for station based traceability, for this mode please integrate the ASM BoardGateKeeper for locking boards in front of the line.

The event returns a structure containing the MES result.

## Remarks

None.
