Challenge

Before partnering with ORGATEX, the new warehouse lacked structure: There was no labeling system, which meant that employees could not clearly identify storage locations. This led to long search times, mix-ups, and a higher error rate during putaway. There was no well-thought-out concept for storage location labeling, which significantly impaired process reliability and efficiency.

Results

Following the introduction of ORGATEX’s customized shelf labeling system, the warehouse was clearly organized. The visual color-coding system enabled goods to be unambiguously assigned to storage locations, which reduced search times by 30% and cut the error rate during putaway by 70%. Employees benefit from noticeably greater clarity and view the solution as a major relief in their day-to-day work. Employee satisfaction rose by 40%.

The Challenge

Before a labeling system was implemented, the new warehouse was disorganized. The shelves were not labeled, making it difficult for employees to clearly identify storage locations. This resulted in long search times, frequent misplacements, and significantly compromised process reliability. There was a complete lack of a systematic approach to storage location labeling, which reduced the efficiency and quality of the logistics processes.

The Solution

The customer learned about ORGATEX through a recommendation and contacted the company directly. During the consultation process, the specific requirements were documented and appropriate samples were provided, which made the decision-making process easier. The custom-designed shelf labels, featuring clear color differentiation, were manufactured according to the warehouse layout plan after the customer’s approval. The implementation went smoothly, and the system proved to be self-explanatory. Employees were actively involved and independently applied the labels to the shelves. 

The Results

With the implementation of individual shelf labeling, the warehouse now features a clear structure and layout. Search times have been reduced by 30%, the error rate during putaway has dropped by 70%, and employee satisfaction has increased by 40%. Employees find goods more quickly, putaway operations are significantly more reliable, and daily work has become noticeably easier. The next step is to label the warehouse aisles and visually mark pedestrian and vehicle routes to further expand the wayfinding system.
