Order picking - Import export

Industrial warehouse shelf racks are an ideal solution for order picking. The flexible, modular nature of this type of racking makes it easy to change stock, if needed. However, a flexible layout also comes with some flexibility when changing shelf labels. The last thing you want is to have to remove old labels every three months and buy new ones. That is a costly and time-consuming activity. Thanks to ONE2ID’s customised shelf labels for order picking, you can save time and money.

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.

Barcode labels that enhance scanner operation can improve the efficiency of your work processes. With our retro-reflective labels, you can scan up to 4x faster at longer distances – up to 20 metres – and from any angle. A retro-reflective label can also be used in relatively dark environments as it can be scanned faster under the glare of, for example, a torch as opposed to a conventional, non-reflective label. At ONE2ID, we design retro-reflective labels for various applications such as long-distance scanning of bulk location signs in warehouses, for order picking when using fingerprint scanners, and for applications within the electronics, electronics, food or automotive industries.

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.
