Beam Location Labels

Beam location labels are applied directly to the horizontal beams of racking systems. These labels help warehouse staff quickly identify the correct storage locations, improving picking and put-away efficiency. They are often printed with barcodes or alphanumeric codes for easy scanning and integration with warehouse management systems (WMS).

Upright Location Labels

Upright location labels are placed on the vertical uprights of racking systems to provide additional reference points. They help workers orient themselves within the warehouse, ensuring items are stored and retrieved from the correct locations. These labels are especially useful in warehouses with extensive racking structures.

Multi-Level Location Labels

Warehouses with multi-tier racking benefit greatly from multi-level location labels. These labels are designed to clearly indicate different rack levels, reducing confusion when picking or replenishing stock. They often include color coding or directional indicators to improve navigation and minimize errors.

Magnetic Labels

Magnetic labels offer a flexible and reusable solution for warehouse organization. They can be easily moved and updated without leaving residue, making them ideal for dynamic storage environments where locations frequently change. These labels are commonly used for temporary storage areas or seasonal inventory adjustments.

Floor Labels

Floor labels provide clear identification of bulk storage locations, pallet positions, and staging areas. They are typically made from durable, high-visibility materials to withstand heavy traffic and harsh conditions. Properly placed floor labels enhance efficiency and reduce the risk of misplaced inventory.

Hanging Labels and Signage

Hanging labels and signage improve warehouse navigation by providing overhead visibility of racking sections and aisle locations. These labels are ideal for large warehouses with high shelving, allowing workers to quickly identify sections from a distance. They are often used in conjunction with beam and upright labels to create a comprehensive location identification system.

Tote Labels

Tote labels are essential for tracking small inventory items stored in bins or totes. These labels often feature barcodes or QR codes to enable quick scanning and tracking within WMS. Proper tote labelling ensures efficient order picking and stock replenishment, reducing the chances of misplaced or miscounted inventory.

Conclusion

Implementing a structured warehouse labelling system enhances accuracy, efficiency, and safety. Whether using beam, upright, magnetic, or floor labels, a well-organized warehouse leads to improved productivity and streamlined operations. Investing in high-quality labelling solutions tailored to your warehouse layout ensures seamless inventory management and a more efficient workflow.
