    Compared to expanding a warehouse or building a new hall, purchasing pass-through racks is a much more cost-effective solution.<\/b> They make it possible to optimize the flow of goods, which is especially important for the FIFO (First In, First Out) system.<\/p>

    Effective use of such solutions, requires the implementation of a well thought-out system for marking locations in the warehouse.<\/a><\/strong> The use of self-adhesive labels<\/a> with a unique barcode, Auto ID devices and integration with the WMS system<\/strong><\/a>, will allow a significant increase in<\/strong> operator productivity<\/strong> and reduction of errors.<\/p>

    Therefore, it is worth paying special attention to these elements when designing a warehouse space to ensure the smooth and efficient<\/strong> flow of goods from the receiving process, through storage, picking and release.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    With a large number of levels of high-bay racks, warehousemen (especially those working from level “0”), have limited visibility of<\/b> goods located in the upper locations. This can lead to picking errors and increased time searching for the right goods. To prevent this, the use of an appropriate location marking system is key .<\/a> <\/p>

    One of the most effective ways to improve the legibility of locations in high-bay shelving is to use color coding:<\/p>
