Each Gemtrac unit comes with a left and right bank of drawers, these get divided into two groups of Zones.

In this example we will use Red and Green colors to identify the Zones correctly. Each drawer has 12 shelves and 20 Slots per shelf.

Focusing on the Red bank, each drawer is identified as a Zone. First drawer would be Red-1, second drawer Red-2 etc. Start at the end opposing to where you will put any expansion Gemtracs to ensure the new additions are in successive numerical order.

Labels for the Gemtrac drawers are printed onto card stock and placed in the card holders, ensuring the barcode is fully visible and not obstructed by the holder frame.

Shelf number labels, starting at 1 for the top shelf, 2 for the second shelf etc, for each shelf are printed on adhesive labels of an appropriate size and applied directly next to each shelf.

Slot numbers are placed on each Shelf, starting at number 1 for each shelf.

The above image shows three alternatives on how to number the Slots, Shelves 1 to 4 show every Slot, Shelves 5 to 8 show every 5th Slot and Shelves 9 to 12 show every 10th Slot. Other options are labelling the Slots on every second shelf, allowing the operator to use those numbers to reference both the shelf above and below of the same number locations.

Which format you use is up to personal preference, however it is recommended what ever format you choose that every shelf follows that format to maintain uniformity, ie. either all shelves labelled every Slot or all shelves labelled every 5th Slot and not a mixture of both.
