Logistics

Logistics printing follows the building: aisles, docks, and the office that coordinates them.

The workplace

How printing fits this workplace

Operational documents have to be produced where the work happens, not only at a distant desk. We plan device placement and access for the warehouse and the teams who manage it.

A device at a distant desk only helps the people who can leave the floor to use it. Placement is part of the plan, alongside who can send work to each device.

01 Devices for warehouse and office locations
02 Operational documentation close to the work
03 Access for the teams moving goods and paperwork

On site

Where the devices belong

Warehouse aisles
Devices where operational documents are needed on the floor, so the work is not sent back to a distant desk.
Docks
Printing close to the teams moving goods in and out, for the documents that belong with that movement.
Coordinating office
Access for the people managing the paperwork behind the floor, on devices set up for that office.

Documents

What this workplace prints

Logistics printing has to show up where the building works: on the floor, at the dock, and in the office that coordinates both. A device only at a far desk does not serve the people who stay with the goods.

Floor documents
Operational paperwork printed in the aisles, where the work is happening.
Dock paperwork
Documents the teams at the dock need while goods move in and out.
Coordination documents
The office printing that sits behind the warehouse and keeps the paperwork organized.
Shared warehouse devices
Printers used by more than one team, with access set for the people who need them.

The work

How the setup is scoped

Placement is part of the plan. The engagement covers the warehouse and office locations you include, and who can send work to each device.

01 Follow the building
Mark the aisles, docks, and offices where documents are produced.
02 Put devices near the work
Place printers where those documents are needed, not only at a coordinating desk.
03 Set access for moving teams
Arrange which teams can reach each device.
04 Keep office and floor distinct
Configure the coordinating office on its own when its documents are different from the floor.
