License Plate Numbering and Tote Management

BizAutomation’s License Plate Numbering (LPN) and Tote Management consolidates multi-item tracking by assigning a single barcode to pallets, cases, or totes. This allows warehouse staff to execute bulk movements, putaways, and transfers with just one scan, massively accelerating receiving workflows.

Scanning individual boxes during high-volume receiving or internal warehouse transfers creates severe operational bottlenecks. LPN technology solves this by allowing you to group multiple distinct items or serialized units into one logical container (a "license plate"). Whether you are moving a mixed pallet from the receiving dock to bulk storage, or moving a tote of loose items to a packing station, a single scan of the LPN barcode instantly updates the location of every item inside. This drastically reduces manual touches, improves traceability, and injects serious speed into your supply chain.

License Plate Numbering (LPN) and Tote Management for Bulk Movements

Exponentially Faster Bulk Handling

Instead of scanning 50 individual items being moved across the warehouse, a worker places them in a tote, assigns an LPN, and scans the tote's barcode once to instantly move all 50 items in the system. By utilizing LPNs for inbound shipments, your receiving team can process and put away bulk inventory exponentially faster, minimizing individual item handling and clearing dock congestion.

A single License Plate Number can be associated with multiple different SKUs, quantities, and lot numbers, providing total visibility into the exact contents of a mixed pallet or container. This ensures that even the most complex bulk movements remain fully transparent and traceable within your WMS.

Bulk Tracking Benefits

  • Single-scan bulk movements, putaways, and transfers
  • Support for mixed SKUs, quantities, and lot numbers on one LPN
  • Drastic reduction in manual touches and handling time
  • Elimination of bottlenecks at receiving and packing stations

LPN & Tote FAQs

Direct answers on accelerating bulk warehouse movements and tracking.

What is License Plate Numbering (LPN) in a WMS?

LPN is a system that assigns a unique, single barcode to a collection of items grouped together—like a pallet, a case, or a tote—allowing the entire group to be tracked and moved as a single entity.

How does Tote Management speed up warehouse transfers?

Instead of scanning 50 individual items being moved across the warehouse, a worker places them in a tote, assigns an LPN, and scans the tote's barcode once to instantly move all 50 items in the system.

Can LPNs track mixed SKUs on a single pallet?

Yes. A single License Plate Number can be associated with multiple different SKUs, quantities, and lot numbers, providing total visibility into the exact contents of a mixed pallet or container.

Does this reduce manual touches during receiving?

Absolutely. By utilizing LPNs for inbound shipments, your receiving team can process and put away bulk inventory exponentially faster, minimizing individual item handling and clearing dock congestion.
