Why food requires special warehouse management

Food has special requirements:

  • Shelf life — products expire and mustn't be shipped too late
  • Traceability — regulatory requirement to trace batches from supplier to customer
  • FEFO — the oldest expiry date must always be shipped first
  • Documentation — a full log of who received which batch

Lagersystem is built to handle all of this — automatically.

First Expire, First Out

The system ensures the oldest batches are picked first

During picking, the system automatically shows the batch with the shortest shelf life. Staff don’t need to remember or search themselves — the system handles it.

  • Automatic FEFO prioritisation when picking
  • Visual marking of batch and expiry date on the handheld terminal
  • Warning if a batch has expired or is close to expiry
  • 8 batch strategies including EarliestExpire and EarliestExpireWithLocation
Register batch and expiry date from day one

The key to traceability and FEFO

At goods receipt, staff register the batch number and expiry date. From there, the system takes care of the rest.

  • Scan or enter the batch number
  • Register the expiry date
  • The system validates that the date is valid
  • The batch is linked to location and SKU
No shortcuts — full traceability

Staff MUST scan the batch number

With a mandatory batch strategy, staff cannot skip batch scanning. The system requires the batch number to be scanned before picking can continue.

  • Mandatory scanning — cannot be bypassed
  • The system verifies it's the correct batch
  • Discrepancies are logged automatically
  • Full audit trail
