Location numbering, made visible

A location code should tell people where to go.

A clear aisle–bay–level structure turns a warehouse address into a simple set of directions—for operators, scanners and warehouse systems.

Interactive example

Build a warehouse location

Select an aisle, then choose a rack position. The location code updates as you move through the warehouse.

Design for change

Leave room for the warehouse to evolve.

Numbering in intervals creates available numbers for future locations. A bay can be subdivided or a level added without renumbering everything that follows.

What good looks like

A numbering system that works on the floor.

A01Aisle→020Bay→30Level

One consistent order

Use the same aisle–bay–level format across the site so every address is read the same way.

Number sequence

Useful numbering gaps

Number in intervals so a new or subdivided location can be added without renumbering the locations that follow.
