The impact of EPOS on distribution systems

Abstract

The benefits of bar‐coding are now rapidly moving from the retail sphere into the warehousing and distribution environment. In Europe there will be a symbol called DUS (Distribution Unit Symbol), basically developed for automatic reading in automated distribution and warehousing systems. With this symbol on a case it will be possible automatically to identify, sort, store and pick the article in a warehousing system. This is an edited version of a paper presented by Per‐Olov Sparen at a conference sponsored by Rolatrue Ltd earlier this year.
