Product Identification

Product inventory items (or SKUs) within a warehouse can be identified in a variety of ways. The two most common ways to identify product are through product labels and/or product barcodes. The label will either have the product’s SKU name or description while the barcode will represent the products unique UPC code.

By far the best way to identify a product is with both a product label and barcode. This allows product to be identified quickly without the use of electronic devices, while also allowing for scanning systems to automate the process of receiving, inventorying, moving and picking the product. Scanning can save a significant amount of time and money as well as reduce the error rate to close to 0%.
