What is a specialised display and what role does it play in logistics?



The compartment display is usually located on the storage compartments or at each staging area of a storage system, sometimes also on the uprights. It can be a manual display with magnetic number plates, sensors or barcodes. As a rule, they are electronic displays such as LED light strips or displays that are connected to the warehouse IT system.



The compartment display provides the picker with information such as the item description, the item number and the quantity of the stored goods. Electronic exchange via the warehouse management system provides all participants in the logistics chain with an overview of




warehouse stocks,



withdrawal quantities,



delivery times



or transport routes for orders.




This allows warehouse logistics, including all picking processes, to be organised more efficiently. One example of particularly good visibility is the MULTISPOT LED strip light shelf display from storemaster®. It is located on the right and left of the uprights at each storage level and makes it easier to find. Another example of compartment displays are pick-by-light systems. They consist of eye-catching lamps visible from a distance and acknowledgement buttons. Every removal („pick“) is acknowledged and every stock change is displayed in real time.



What information is typically presented in a specialised display for the logistics sector?



The specialised display provides the order picker or controller with information such as




Position and quantity of the stored goods or raw materials



Withdrawal quantities



Labelling and packaging of goods



Contact information of sender and recipient (in case of resale)



Removal method and means of transport, e.g. from picking trolley to lorry or ship



Dates and routes for transport or further processing



Hazardous goods labelling, if applicable




What advantages does the use of specialised displays in logistics offer companies?



If the shelving systems are equipped with shelf displays, all warehouse logistics processes interact more efficiently and smoothly. For example, routes for transports from the storage areas and shelves or modules to assembly and further processing can be better planned and stock levels optimised. Logistics becomes more competitive.



How can companies measure and optimise the effectiveness of their specialist displays in logistics?



With integrated electronic applications for automatic data analysis, values such as delivery times or error rates can be measured. If the company is equipped with automation technology with intuitive user guidance, it also improves logistics efficiency. Regular feedback from customers and suppliers also reveals sources of error and areas for improvement. Integrated, regular monitoring of the supply chain is also required. This also serves the purpose of recognising delays and bottlenecks in each zone.
