Labelling the way for voice pick
August 1st 2008 ASG Services recently
completed a warehouse
identification project for AS
Watson. AS Watson's new
536,000ft2 distribution
centre in Dunstable,
Bedfordshire is
furnished with
an up-to-date
'Voice Pick'
system.
ASG's project
management
team
coordinated the
installation, inline
with AS
Watson's requirements to
ensure new stock could be
accepted and allocated to
locations while the
installation progressed.
A timeframe of six weeks
was allocated to design,
produce and deliver the
installation of 58,496
warehouse location labels
and 520 end of aisle marker
signs – produced in-house, at
ASG's Warrington facility.
Label sizes at Dunstable
are typical of other rack
location label sizes; but
produced without barcodes
for the voice-pick system.
Layout and design aim to
make them as easy to read as
possible. Colour identifies
levels for quick referencing
especially at distance or on
higher level beams. Labels
are made of polyester based
material to prevent
contraction and expansion
and finished with a laminate
film for durability.
Signage helps areas to be
identifiable at distance. AS
Watson has added road sign
symbols, recognised by both
drivers and non-drivers. Each
end-of-aisle marker sign uses
both the aisle letter as well as
a symbol to denote the oneway
system in use. More articles from ASG Services Ltd: |
