Optimising Stillage Organisation: Labeling Tips from Lowe Stillages and Cages Experts

The intricate world of inventory management and storage often revolves around details. Among these details, the organisation and labeling of stillages stands paramount. Stillages, essentially specialised pallets or racks, are pivotal in streamlining warehouse operations. At LOWE Stillages & Cages, the apex of stillage manufacturing in the UK, we’ve channeled our 25 years of expertise into creating this exhaustive guide on the subject.

Why is Stillage Organisation Important?

A well-structured warehouse reduces time and energy spent on manual tasks like searching and sorting. It also decreases the risks of errors, misplaced goods, or potential damage. The efficient arrangement and identification of stillages lead to:

• Improved workflow and productivity.
• Reduced operational costs.
• Enhanced safety and reduced risk of mishandling.

Steps to Perfect Stillage Organisation:

1. Craft a Comprehensive Labeling Blueprint: A consistent labeling structure, which includes distinct identifiers for each stillage (like product details, unique codes, or barcodes), is essential. This helps in quick identification and reduces mishandling.
2. Opt for High-Visibility Labels: Your labels should be legible even from a distance. This ensures swift identification, especially in large warehouses. Using contrasting colors and clear fonts will optimise this.
3. Strategic Label Placement: Ensure that labels are affixed at consistent, easily sighted locations on the stillages. This eliminates the guesswork during retrieval.
4. Systematic Stillage Arrangement: Segregate stillages based on product categories, SKU numbers, or any other criteria relevant to your operations. Use clear signage to aid in the navigation of these sections.
5. Leverage Advanced Identification Techniques: Modern tools like barcode scanners or RFID tags offer a faster, more accurate method of identification. Integrating these tools with inventory software can revolutionise your storage and retrieval processes.
