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.

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 is attached to the Tote.

Tote labeling can also be used with MSN Tote Picking.

  • You have the option to print one Single label or a Range of labels.

  • Add any numeric number in the From field as your label number/ID; this will print on the label (if you wish to reprint an existing Tote label, you can use the lookup icon to search for an existing Tote Label).

  • If you selected Range you must enter the To numeric number (or select from the list) as well.

  • You have the option to enter your own description or use the tote number as the description. In that case, select the tick box next to Use tote number as description.

  • Otherwise, add a Description in the Description for the label field to be used as a reference. A good example would be REPLEN Pallet (or click the radio button to make the description the same as the Tote number/ID. When using Range the system creates the descriptions the same as tote number.)

  • Select a Bin from the Bin lookup table. Typically, there would be a Tote Bin, otherwise you can put it in a pick bin as well.

  • Select TOTE as the type of label

  • Select Create Label to print the label

  • Select your physical label printer.

  • Print the label out on your label printer and attach it to the empty carrier pallet.
