The Importance of Multi-Level Warehouse Rack Labeling

Barcode labelshave all the necessary information for ensuring seamless logistics operations. They come in several varieties like vertical post labels, upright labels, man down labels, frame labels, step labels, tree labelsand totem labels. The information on these useful labelscan greatly assist inventory management and efficient movement of warehouse items.

These labelsare important for several more reasons:

Prime Benefits

They eliminate the need for scanning from a distance and the possibilities of errors that it entails. They enable pick-and-scan operations. Well-written labelsare also helpful for reducing worker errors and prevent warehouse inventory items from ending up at the wrong location. Operators can improve their working efficiency and minimize scanning errors. When placed together with location labels, they can allow for fast operations while reducing mistakes.

If you want to avoid person-up scanning at your logistics sites, you can totem labelsor vertical location labelsas multi level warehouse rack solutions. The use of these labelsprevents the occurrence of errors associated with person-up operations and long range scanning. They also facilitate efficient and speedy operations.

A vertical location labelcontains a group of barcodes that have all the information necessary for each rack level in the pallet bay. These labelsare often color coded according to their level. Such measures allow improvement in scanning accuracy. They also enable uniform and speedy workflow across different logistics sites and enable them to coordinate better with each other for faster product delivery.

Easier Training

Another major benefit of using this labeling scheme is that training becomes much easier due to uniform labels. If you are using the same color coding and information format throughout your warehouse network, then training workers across these sites is simplified. Site supervisors have the option of being able to shift workers to different warehouses as required without having to worry about explaining anything extra. New workers and trainees can get up to speed and start working independently and quickly with a high level of productivity.

Companion labels normally accompany vertical location labels. These companion labels find much use at various rack levels at the site for cycle or inventory counts. The companion labelalso bears a color coding scheme for each level according to the color scheme that vertical labels have.

Other Applications

Vertical labels are also suitable for use in rack tunnel regions where overhead bays are in use but where access to beams is restricted.

Racks are going higher and getting out of the reach of scanners. You can resolve this by bringing labels to lower levels. Man down and upright labels display information using smart design schemes.

You can realize dramatic savings in cost by using the best labels for your logistics site.
