Importance of Article Placement
In most warehouses, items are placed on the shelves in such a way as to optimize the order-picking path. However, the product range often contains different weight classes, such as items over 30 kg and items under 5 kg. In this case, it makes sense to consider the weight and the dimensions of the items when positioning them in the aisles. Accordingly, a picking trip should normally start with the heaviest items and end with the lightest items.
