RE: Barcoding Warehouse Racks

["Konrad Underkofler" <kdunderk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bonnie,

You need special long range scanners and the labels have to be special
reflective ones to get it to work correctly. A cheaper solution is to
also use a smaller barcode down on the lower racks to mimic what is
stored above so you can do a local short range scan. 

Regards

Konrad

Subject: 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,
