Measuring and Recording Bay Height

Background & Rationale

TOT follows the random stock keeping  approach. Stock is stored in any location provided there is sufficient space.

In order to efficiently follow the principle, having knowledge of the height of a bay is key as it enables users to search for bays with a specific height.

Strokeone provides the capability to record a bay's height.

Best working practice is to populate this as much as possible - particularly for ground level bays which have the greatest activity.

Process

1. Select a bay and measure its height using the TOT Pallet Height Guide Ruler
   
   
   

Important:  You need to consider some clearance for pallets / boxes to be moved in/out , and the height of the pallet pump truck so do not measure right to the top of the bay. This height should be included in the pallet size guide ruler for the warehouse zone.

2. From Ipad dashboard > Location Check
   
   
3. Touch View to activate the camera; and scan the location's barcode. Srokeone will return the location record. Enter the corresponding pallet guide ruler  value that  in the Height field
   
   
   
4. Tip: If you have measured the height of one bay in a row (horizontal)  - it is extremely likely that all the other bays in the same row are identical height.
   Assuming this is the case, click find and enter the first four digits of the location Id, then "*", then the shelf numeric (e.g, for above D-18*1) and click find again
   
   
5. Strokeone will return all locations that match the criteria - i.e. for this example, all the ground level bays in Aisle D18. You can then enter the height for each of the bays
