Efficient Navigation & Tracking Accuracy
The efficient and reliable tracking of goods, inventory, and other items has long been a key requirement for warehouses. However, implementing a barcode system is no simple task, and there are numerous considerations to weigh before, during, and after the process begins.

Product and Shelf-Life Requirements

A number of products that are shipped or stored in warehouses have special requirements that need to be clearly marked. These may include a shelf-life or expiry date, special handling instructions, and other important information.

Bins & Totes

Storage and handling of parts and materials in warehouses is made much easier when bins are properly identified. They are usually marked with barcode labels to help employees find what they need without having to search through shelves or boxes.

Location Level Labels

Large warehouses have many aisles and racks to navigate through, so identifying items by their locations is crucial. These labels are placed in easily identifiable areas throughout the facility to guide personnel directly to the items they need or to ensure that items are put away in the correct location.

1D Barcodes - Designed for Short Range Scanning

The most common type of barcode used in the warehouse is the 1D barcode, which is printed on consumer products and uses lines and spaces to encode data that scanners can read. These labels are ideal for short-range scanning and require no connection to a database.

2D Barcodes - Designed for Long Range Scanning

If your warehouse needs to be scanned over long distances, you need a barcode that can be scanned with a long-range barcode scanner. A label that’s too high up can be difficult to see with a long-range scanner, so you should consider positioning your label at an angle down.
