D Label’s SideScan 45™ labels are an ideal option for person-down rack environments. Multiple barcodes can be printed on a single horizontal or vertical label installed at eye level to identify numerous bays above.
This eliminates the need for long-range scanning equipment and minimizes errors and potential confusion about which rack to scan.
Advantages of a Side-Scan Label
SideScan 45™ is a linear barcode label intended for multilevel warehouse rack systems. It takes its name from its design: the barcode is angled at 45 degrees.
“Angled location labels have been proven to provide greater accuracy, improving picking and the overall inventory management process,” Roggeveen said.
Let’s look at the key reasons why:
- Improved inventory location accuracy – Accurate scans mean inventory can be properly identified and located in bays.
- Fewer picking errors – When inventory is properly located, it means the correct pallets can be found the first time with fewer picking errors.
- More efficient overall operations – Ultimately, side-scan labels help to drive operational efficiencies and speed-to-market by ensuring warehouse workers locate and pick inventory accurately and reliably.
Eliminates Long-Range Scanning Challenges in Multilevel Rack Systems
ID Label’s SideScan 45 labels are an ideal option for man-down rack environments. Multiple barcodes can be printed on a single horizontal or vertical label installed at eye level to identify numerous bays above. This eliminates the need for long-range scanning equipment and minimizes errors and potential confusion about which rack to scan. “They are typically color coded to help workers easily identify levels and bays,” Roggeveen said. “This improves scanning accuracy and minimizes potential human error.”
