Labeling / Tote Trolley Labeling - Tote Trolley Labeling [LAB007]

These Tote labels have a similar concept as TrackIDs, which allows us to scan stock that must be moved and then track it when it is in transit (placed on a trolley/forklift/carrier) - it will be scanned onto a trolley/forklift/carrier, using a temporary label, and then be scanned off at the other end, into the new location.

When using the Fetch and put-away option on the Pickface Replenishment HTML5 scanner screen for replenishment, the user would typically be moving stock between a bulk warehouse and a pickface warehouse, so will therefore perform a two-stage process of

  1. fetching the supplying stock onto a carrier pallet and then

  1. putting it away into the pickface bin as a second transaction.

The user will require a temporary carrier label for the first stage to carry the required stock code from bulk to the pickface location. This carrier label would typically be placed on the empty carrier pallet, which will be used to fetch the stock code from bulk.

Typically, sites running Tote Driven Distribution centers and Distribution centers with area-based picking, place items into Totes as they are picked. The Totes are assigned a unique Tote Label, with a Tote number and bar code that are attached to the Tote.
