Load unit sectoring

The LU Sectoring module is used to achieve an optimal fill level for individual load units (LUs). Your employees can select load units with predefined sectoring variants at goods receipt (I-point). PROLAG®World shows them which sector of the LU to place the stock on.

Sectoring is more precise than the mixed LU method in terms of determining exactly where on the LU the stock is placed.

Load unit sectoring

The fill level of each load unit (LU) is an important factor in achieving precise and efficient warehouse management. Shelf capacities are maximised, unnecessary transports and interim storage are avoided, guaranteeing a more sustainable use of the overall storage space.

The LU Sectoring module helps improve your warehouse space utilisation. You first define the possible sectoring variants in the transport load unit. Select a suitable load unit at goods receipt and place the stock on the appropriate sector. This ensures a granular distribution of the stock on each LU. 

A prerequisite for sectoring is that the LU has multiple barcodes in order to record the orientation correctly. The individual sectors are dependent on the orientation of the load unit. The sectoring can also be carried out by a pick-by-light or put-to-light system. In this case, the relevant sector is indicated by LED light.
