Visual Identification Systems

Highly visible and clear identification will provide significant operational gains and optimisation of material flow management.

  • Clear and visual identification is a major challenge for operators in inventory management processes and improving internal material flows. Racks, pallets, bins and carts are all necessary identification locations. This constitutes a real challenge due to the variety of media involved, leaving many business owners unsure where to start.

    The search for a batch, pallet or a container, is a constant generator of waste if visual identification is not well managed. Highly visible and clear identification will provide significant operational gains and optimisation of material flow management. Visual identification will look different for everyone, but they might include the use of pallet labels and clamps, visual boards, floor marking symbols, and more.
