Location Addressing

Every storage point in ScanPick is identified by a unique location address. Addresses follow the format {Zone}-{Aisle}-{Rack}-{Shelf}-{Bin}.

Address Format

A-01-03-02-01
│ │  │  │  │
│ │  │  │  └── Bin (01, 02, ...)
│ │  │  └───── Shelf (01, 02, ...)
│ │  └──────── Rack (01, 02, ...)
│ └─────────── Aisle (01, 02, ...)
└────────────── Zone (A, B, C, ...)

Each segment is zero-padded to two digits for alphanumeric sorting.

Viewing Locations

From the dashboard, navigate to Locations to see your warehouse layout. You can:

• Browse locations by zone
• Search for a specific address
• See which products are assigned to each location
• Add a description (e.g., “near packing station”)

Assigning Products to Locations

When creating or editing a product, select its bin location from the location list. A location can hold multiple products, but each product has exactly one primary location.

Path Optimization

Pick tasks are sorted alphanumerically by their location address for v1. This means:

A-01-01-01-01
A-01-01-01-02
A-01-01-02-01
A-01-02-01-01
B-01-01-01-01

The sort is Zone → Aisle → Rack → Shelf → Bin, which produces a reasonable walking path when zones are physically organized in that order.
