Order picking labels

A combination of several factors determines the success of order picking in your warehouse: the layout of the bin (picking) locations, the ideal routing and picking sequence, proper inventory management with the help of a warehouse management system (WMS), high-quality tools such as scanners and voice-picking headsets, and last but not least, the right labels. The design you select for your shelf and bin labels plays an important part in the daily order picking operations. Equally as important is your choice of label material. In addition, your work environment is a deciding factor, as are the application and the desired durability. What is the average temperature in your warehouse? Are your picking locations static or dynamic? Do your order pickers use long-range scanners? We can help you answer these and other questions to determine the type of label material you need for your shelf and bin labels.

Cantilever rack labels, for the most part, have to be able to withstand challenging conditions. Therefore, labelling cantilever racks, also known as long-item racking, can pose a challenge compared to labelling standard pallet racking shelves and beams. It is not uncommon for warehouses that store long and/or heavy-duty goods to have to deal with a more than average share of dust and dirt. As a result, the type of material you choose for your rack labels should be sturdy and durable. Another point of interest that requires careful consideration when labelling cantilever racks is the placement of the labels on the cantilever arm. The label consultants at ONE2ID are on hand to help you find a suitable solution.

An efficiently laid out warehouse is an essential part of the logistical process. The ideal routing combined with smart inventory management, and of course clear identification of e.g. your pallet racking, cantilever racking and order picking locations all contribute to running a successful warehouse. The dynamic 24-hour society we live in puts great demands on the planning processes in warehouses and distribution centres. There is an ever-growing need for faster delivieries which puts even more pressure on increasing your logistical output, which in turn increases the risk of unwanted errors due to fatigued and stressed out employees. By colour-coding your pallet rack labels, you can relieve some of the pressure, help reduce the number of errors and improve the day-to-day order flow. With a proven track record in manufacturing customised warehouse labels, ONE2ID is your source for any and all questions about pallet rack labels.
