v Warehouse Location Numbering System

As the name tells you, this is a series of numbers that denote the various locations within a warehouse

To find a product within a big warehouse, first thing to do is to identify the “Zone” where the product is being placed

Once the zone is identified, the next is to identify the right “Aisle”

The next is to identify the right “rack” among many racks in one Aisle

Now, you have the right product

ready in your hands

Next is to identify the “level” in a rack Then, the position of the inventory

There are 2 types of Numbering mainly, as per the structure of your warehouse

v1. Pallet Rack Numbering

This numbering is applicable if there is only one Aisle at the floor/at one
location

F1 : 1st Floor

R1 – R4 : Racks

For example, if you need to select one inventory from this set of inventories,
as given, the corresponding numbering must be,

R2 (3.2) F1
v2. Aisle Numbering
This numbering is applicable if there is more than one Aisle at the
same floor/at one same location

F1 : 1st Floor

R1 – R4 : Racks

A1 – A4 : Aisle

For example, if you need to select one inventory from this set of
inventories, as given, the corresponding numbering must be,

A2 (R2 : 1.2) F1

v Simplicity & No duplication are important

The numbering should never make complications to the entire warehouse processing. Unique identification number is a must in order to avoid wrong picking. Even if a
human feels it complicated, the system may feel it comfortable. Be simple when you number your warehouse locations.
