What does Bay mean?

In logistics and warehousing, a bay refers to a designated storage area or section within a warehouse or distribution center. It is a specific location where goods are stored, organized, and managed. Bays are typically defined by physical boundaries such as racks, shelves, or floor markings and are used to categorize and allocate inventory based on factors like product type, size, demand, or operational requirements. 

 

Bays enable efficient storage, retrieval, and tracking of goods within a warehouse, facilitating streamlined picking, replenishment, and inventory management processes.
