Lagertyps

Lagertyps refer to a set of classification systems used in logistics and supply chain management to categorize and group goods into various types based on their physical characteristics, handling requirements, and storage needs.

The primary purpose of Lagertyps is to optimize storage and handling processes by grouping similar items together according to their unique characteristics. This enables warehouse operators to assign the most suitable storage locations and minimize handling and movement costs.

There are several Lagertyps classification systems in use, each with its own set of criteria for categorizing goods. One of the most widely used systems is the ASTME (American Society for Testing and Materials) Lagertyps, which categorizes goods into nine specific groups based on factors such as dimension, weight, and stacking requirements.

Another system used in some European countries is the TLK-Lagertyps, which categorizes goods into 10 specific groups based on factors such as bulkiness, weight, and sensitivity. Other Lagertyps systems may use different criteria such as storage temperature, humidity, or fragility to categorize goods.

The choice of Lagertyps system depends on the specific requirements of the warehouse or logistics operation, as well as the type of goods being stored and handled. By using a standardized Lagertyps system, logistics operators can improve storage efficiency, reduce errors, and enhance overall supply chain operations.

Lagertyps classification systems are widely used in various industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and automotive to ensure that goods are stored and handled in a way that optimizes their quality, safety, and presentation.
