Zone or Aisle

Divide the facility by product type, function, department, temperature, or workflow.

Bay, Rack, or Shelf

Identify the vertical section, rack number, shelf level, cabinet, or cage.

Bin or Position

Assign the final tote, slot, pallet position, drawer, container, or part location.

Example location format

Warehouse A
Aisle 04
Rack B
Shelf 03, Bin 07

What to keep consistent

Use one naming format across the facility.
Avoid duplicate location names.
Use large visible text for the physical location.
Use the QR page for detailed records and updates.
