Redundancy
A majority of warehousing problems are not that efficient because of redundancy. For
example, it’s a common trend to see workers passing tickets among themselves before it can
reach the intended target. Such handoffs are not really necessary since they call for manual
tracking and this may slow the general operations in your warehouse.
You need modern barcoding solutions and other automated wireless technologies that will
eliminate the need for handoffs. This will ensure that very few workers get the opportunity to
touch your products. When the handoffs are significantly minimized, you’ll be able to save on
labour and time. Barcoding solutions can be outsourced, so you don’t have to do it alone.
