Many of my customers have warehouses that are unorganized making product impossible to find and warehouse teams extremely inefficient. In this video I am going to discuss how to organize and label your warehouse bins. This is the same strategy that we've used with every distributor for which we've implemented a warehouse management system.
Most warehouses have a structure in place with different areas, racks, bays, levels, and pallet positions. To organize this structure in a way that is easy to understand, you have to combine these different components into one location identifier per bin. For example, here is a typical warehouse setup
Areas In Warehouse (Freezer, Cooler, Grocery): A, B, C
Rack Rows (Assuming you have 5 aisles of racks, each left and right side make up a row): 01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10
Bays (Sections of the rack. Assuming five bays per aisle): 01,02,03,04,05
Level (how many levels high is the rack): 1,2,3
Pallet Position (two pallet positions per rack): A,B
Here would be a typical bin location in your Grocery Area:
C - 01 - 01 - 2 - A

[@rebecaaguilar1433]

Wow thank you for sharing love your videos

[@DBMTexas]

Thanks for the clarification, what I was looking for. What I would love to see is the order of how labels should be placed to guide the picker through the rows based off the WMS sorting, so the picker is not back tracking. For example, if I have 4 bays in each row, and I have 4 rows. Row 1&2 and 3&4 are back to back. They would be called Bay, 01, 02, 03, 04 for row 1, then once I am at the end of row 1 at bay 4, my WMS is going to sort, should I then label row 2 bay 04, 03, 02, 01? or should I label row 2, bay 05, 06, 07, 08? Then start row 3 bay 01, 02, 03, 04 and row 4 bays 05, 06, 07, 08?

Thanks my dear friend u helped to understand warehousing I am not an a warehouse guy

[@Laceupsolutions]

Great! That is the purpose of this video. I appreciate your viewership

[@adesulovich]

instead of row you should label aisle and introduce left and right positions for pick path optimization. and within an aisle you clearly label sides with small flags that attach to the racking. this is all manual but large clients can use the virtual warehouse to guide employees (smart glasses)

[@andrewchu8044]

Hi how can I accurately count my physical product on hand it always took me a long time to count 3 times to make sure it is correct and sometimes it is up or less when you recount specially small items with lots of quantity. Im new in the field and first audit I had is a complete mess up audit the quickbooks and my product on hand are not sharing the same numbers that I have Im exhausted counting the same stuff for 2 weeks straight just to lower the loss

[@RangeMarket]

I like your label style. How can I create same style labels, is there any label printing machine, or you just buy printed label and register with your WMS?

[@sapwms]

Excellent¡¡

Hi! We manage a similar way of labeling our bins. We have an issue with open bins, we are retailer and we have like 12000 different products and our costumers purchase only a few of the box, leaving an open box or bin... The issue we are having is to identify these opened bins easily. Do you have any thoughts on how I could tide up my system?

[@ssrtmedia2379]

Tell about tyres warehouse management ideas

[@ssirmaiss]

Quite complicated. We are using a much simpler and intuitively easier way marking the warehouse layout.

[@SurajSingh-ph4ze]

Thanks, what is POS A B, is it within Bin, Level Area?

[@priteshpandit2117]

Thank you so much for such a wonderful and educational video. It is so nicely explained and assisting me to label my warehouse. I, however, had a question regarding bins. In my warehouse setting, my bin is one big area in a bay per level. Can I name the bin A for instance on level 1, then the same area B on level 2 etc. Then in bay 2, again A for level 1 and B for level 2 etc. Please guide me. From Nairobi, Kenya

[@TheMonkeWay]

Can you show how to assign QR codes to items, so that you can also track the quantity of each product ? and maybe link it to a database ?

[@Laceupsolutions]

Yes. I will show this.

[@netpox]

Lets say i have 2 sections of the warehouse, section A and B, would i name my aisle rows 01, 02, 03 in section A and then do the same in section B as 01, 02, 03 or would section B aisles be 04, 05, 06

[@Laceupsolutions]

Hello. You can do either or. It really depends how your warehouse flows. If the two sections are right next to one another, I would increment the rows. If they are two completely different sections, I would start at 1.

[@enayatshahyar]

What about an item of which you have many bins and even many bays of one item?

[@packet360]

great content. where do you get the bin labels from?

[@Laceupsolutions]

Label match

[@lisahayward6182]

We use many methods of storing items. Sometimes we put various items in a cardboard box and other times plastic boxes and we may move boxes. How can I identify each individual card board box?

[@Laceupsolutions]

Great question and I apologize about the delay. The only way to do this is to register each of these boxes as a bin location, adhere a label to each one, and track them within your warehouse with a WMS. Manually, you would have to assign an ID to each box, adhere the ID to the box, and manually document the whereabouts of the box. This is difficult. I would invest in a cost-effective system that can do this for you.

[@spiritualiteislamique9136]

great explanation, i think Bay= column, right? thank to much

[@Laceupsolutions]

You got it :)

[@markx348]

wish you could give example tags for aisle discussing part of warehouse thanks

[@Laceupsolutions]

Ok I’ll see if I can make a video about this

[@rakshita584]

What if there is no racking and we have ground pallet storage, also we are stacking on these ground spots ,then how would I label the raw materials?

[@Laceupsolutions]

You would label the ground spot as a bin, and then label the raw material itself with a label that contains the content of the raw material container.

[@astharai6301]

What is ilpn and olpn in wms

Any way you can post a tutorial on HOW to make bin locations like that? I saw on a previous comment it was photoshop, but I would love a quick step by step! Thanks.

I have a question, if my product doesn't fit to bin, so i used to put products second bin, so how can i manage product locations in software

[@Laceupsolutions]

In whatever software you are doing, you should be able to put additional product in a second bin by scanning the product and scanning the bin. The software should be agnostic to what bin the product goes into. It should just track it.

[@bahodirrajabov7964]

@@Laceupsolutions I mean, can I put one type of product more then 2 bins, and if I need that product, how software works? Which bin does it show to me?

[@Laceupsolutions]

@@bahodirrajabov7964 Great question. It will show that the product is distributed in two bins. If the two bins are picking bins, it will display that you can pick from either. If one bin is picking and the other is overstock, you will pick from the picking bin and later transfer down from the overstock. Thanks for your amazing question

[@ChewableMeteor]

Why did you choose to go with QR codes over a traditional 1D code?

[@Laceupsolutions]

Both work. I think we just wanted to support any character in the WMS.

[@honolulublues5548]

A 1D code you have to be straight on the barcode, where a 2D or QR the scanner will pick it up in virtually any angle. Makes it easier on the picker.
