Cloud-Based Warehouse Management Software
Warehouse Location Numbering System
2
As the name tells you, this is a series of
numbers that denote the various locations within
a warehouse
To find a product within a big warehouse, first
thing to do is to identify the Zone where the
product is being placed
3
Once the zone is identified, the next is to
identify the right Aisle
The next is to identify the right rack among
many racks in one Aisle
4
Next is to identify the level in a rack
Then, the position of the inventory
Now, you have the right product ready in your
hands
5
To enable an easy identification of inventories,
keep your warehouses well designed with optimum
racks and identification numbers
Simplicity No duplication are important
The numbering should never make complications to
the entire warehouse processing. Unique
identification number is a must in order to avoid
wrong picking. Even if a human feels it
complicated, the system may feel it comfortable.
Be simple when you number your warehouse
locations.
Many racks with similar numbers. I am just fed
up, man..
