A Warehouse Nightmare

by Steve Showalter

You’re lost. Nothing looks familiar. You look around as the panic starts to grow. Bright colors and a constant din surround you as you drift into what feels like an out of body experience. A child screams and you’re jolted back to the present moment. You grip the list in your hand and realize that your hands are sweating.

Have you ever gone to the grocery store right after a remodel, or in the midst of a remodel? I have. The above scenario is real…and it can be terrifying. It happened to me not too long ago. It also made me think of ScanForce.

Hear me out…take the above scene, and replace the grocery store with a warehouse. The warehouse could be two, three times the size of a grocery store. Items all around you, and unlike a grocery store, these items can be stacked 20 or 30 feet in the air. Replace the shopping list with a Picking List for the orders you’ve just been asked to get.

The task can seem daunting. Even if you know where items are supposed to be, they may not be there. Someone placed them in the wrong place during the Put Away/Receiving process. Someone moved an item during a Transfer and didn’t record it. Now you walk up to a Bin to grab an item you know should be there only to find an empty space…or possibly a completely different item.

ScanForce.
