Bonnie
Another way you can label your racks and scan from your trucks is to use an
Advance Long Range scanner with reflective label material.  Depending upon
the size of the barcode, you can scan up to 40ft away with the reflective
material.  You can buy the material and product your own labels for the
racks that are two and three high.  Another idea for the reflective label
material is to use it in an open area and hang a plate from the ceiling on
chains on an angle facing down and scan the barcode when you go into or out
of the isle or bay location.  By hanging it from the ceiling on chains, you
do not have to worry about hitting it or scraping it off the floor when you
are moving material in and out of the open area. Hope this helps. 

Sincerely

We use legend labels on the rack uprights

                                        |_  A label is placed on the rack 
upright place around 5ft of the ground contains all the "level" barcodes 
and an arrow to specify which side it is on. Also the cross beams are 
barcoded.

This allows for scanning at walking height, or also at hi-lift height.

If you want a gun that can do long distances, check out the Symbol 
Powerscan XLR, but be aware they can be a bit funky.


Hope that helps.

Barcoding Warehouse Racks








In anticipation of our new bar coding applications, we need to re-barcode
our racks.
Our current applications are used by warehouse handlers who use highlifts
and they
are at rack level when they scan.

In the future some of the users will be on traditional forklifts at floor
level.
Our problem are the racks at the 15 foot+ level.

How do others handle the physical labeling of racks?  Do your scanners
reach that distance?

Thanks,
Bonnie Lokenvitz
